About Suruthi Bala

Suruthi has always been an independent, overachiever - whether she was a 3 year old with loose laces because she refused to let anyone tie them, or a 5 year old who had just moved to the UK - and could write perfect cursive with fountain pen, but couldn’t speak a word of English.

She graduated from The University of Birmingham with a BSc and an MSc in Economics, and after quickly becoming disillusioned with the world of finance she went into the relentlessly tiring world of events. After a year out travelling she met Hannah - and RedHanded was born.

About Hannah Maguire

Hannah thought she was going to be an actor, then like many she was a teacher and then like not so many, she wound up co hosting the smash hit true crime podcast RedHanded. Podcasting was made for Hannah, as a dyslexic devourer of audio-books and as a lover of stories. On a whim Hannah studied Social Anthropology at SOAS, because she thought it would make her sound interesting.

She was right.

Luckily, it also lent her an anthropological appetite to understand why people do what they do.

Met Gala 2024 live updates: Getting ready for the biggest night in fashion

The Met Gala is one of New York City’s biggest annual events — and definitely the most fashionable.

The coveted invitation to attend brings out stars in their finest couture each year on the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 2024 Met Gala is no different, with A-listers donning what is expected to be a stylish, stunning and unexpected array of ensembles that fit this year’s “The Garden of Time” theme . This year’s gala also marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

The guest list is usually kept hush, hush, with people wondering who they will see walk the carpet. Among the questions asked ahead of the first Monday in May are: Will Taylor Swift make an appearance at the Met Gala? Will she bring her boyfriend, Travis Kelce? Will the Kardashian-Jenners turn heads and will Rihanna once again be among the best dressed?

Follow along as TODAY.com shares updates in real time — and see more of our coverage below.

Bad Bunny accessorizes at the Met Gala

Liz Calvario

Co-chair Bad Bunny knows how to bring his A-game to any fashion event. After donning a backless white suit with a draping cape made of rosettes at last year's Met Gala, the "Monaco" singer's 2024 look was one for the books.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, stood out from the crowd in a custom Maison Margiela suit.

The singer opted for a dark pin-stripped tailored suit with red stripes on the pants. He also wore black gloves, triangle sunglasses and a statement hat. He also carried what appears to be a black bouquet of flowers.

This is the Puerto Rican superstar's third time at the Met Gala. He made his red carpet debut at the event in 2022.

Deborah Roberts snaps selfie with TODAY's Sheinelle Jones

Journalist Deborah Roberts had a sweet moment with TODAY's Sheinelle Jones while on the steps of the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening"-themed Met Gala.

TODAY's Al Roker's wife was perfectly on theme in a yellow strapless gown with earthy graphics, green heels and a greenery-filled headpiece.

"Hey you with the green," Deborah told Sheinelle, who said she looked "amazing."

"You too," Deborah said, as she took out her cell phone and snapped a photo together.

Ashley Graham arrives at the 2024 Met Gala: ‘I can barely breathe’

Ariana Brockington

Ashley Graham helped kick off the start of the 2024 Met Gala red carpet with her stunning arrival Monday night.

The model, who is co-hosting Vogue.com's livestream of the event, donned a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin leather and sheer gown. The dress featured a halter top, metallic flowers on the bodice and a silky wrap to complete the look.

Graham told TODAY.com on the red carpet that the dress was handmade and took over 500 hours to create. "It's insanity what (Ludovic de Saint Sernin) and his team did," she praised.

She added, "I can barely breathe. The organs have been moved together. As you can see, this is not my normal waist."

The 36-year-old will share her hosting duties throughout the evening with La La Anthony and “Wednesday” star Gwendoline Christie. Emma Chamberlain will also be on site to serve as the magazine's special red carpet correspondent.

Anna Wintour arrives at the 2024 Met Gala red carpet

Samantha Kubota

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour has arrived at the 2024 Met Gala Red carpet.

She is wearing a floral black custom Loewe floor-length jacket over a white dress and accessorized with a large floral brooch and diamond necklace.

She did not wear her trademark dark sunglasses to pose for photos.

The flowers on her jacket seemingly are in tribute to the 2024 theme, “The Garden of Time.”

A look back at the 2023 Met Gala fashions

Last year's Met Gala was a tribute to the late fashion icon  Karl Lagerfeld with the theme of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. ”

Held on May 1, Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer and Dua Lipa joined Vogue’s Anna Wintour as co-chairs of the celebration. It was a black-and-white heavy red carpet, with the stars channeling their inner Lagerfeld.

Cardi B rocked two looks at the event. She arrived in a black ball gown after first wearing a dramatic pink, over-the-top dress while leaving her hotel.

Anne Hathaway was a showstopper in a tweed, cut-out Versace gown.

Among the best dressed men of the night included actor Brian Tyree Henry. He arrived in a black, ruffled cape with multiple black and white pearl necklaces.

Rihanna was a sight for sore eyes in her white gown and long train designed by Valentino that included a face-covering top made of rosettes. She later opened the top and showed off the delicate single-strap dress underneath.

Relive many of the best dressed stars at the 2023 Met Gala, here.

What time does the Met Gala red carpet start and how long do arrivals last?

For those looking to watch their favorite stars on the red carpet, guest arrivals begin at 5:30 p.m. ET and generally wrap up around 8 p.m.

Both Vogue and E! will host live stream coverage from the red carpet, starting at 6 p.m. ET. For more on how to watch, click here .

Where do celebrities get ready for the Met Gala?

Anna Kaplan

All eyes are on the red carpet at the Met Gala, but the majority of the fashion magic happens behind the scenes at a slew of high-end hotels across New York City.

Vogue reports A-listers are known for staying at hotels like The Beekman, The Carlyle, The Mark and The Pierre, where inside the rooms, celebs spend hours perfecting their looks and glam.

Onlookers can get a first look at celebrities' outfits for the first Monday in May as stars depart for The Met from their hotels, and TODAY.com will be on the ground at The Pierre to catch a glimpse at what is in store for the night ahead.

Who is attending the Met Gala?

Liz Calvario and Samantha Kubota

While the guest list for the Met Gala is always under wraps, expect to see Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour in statement-making looks as they serve as co-chairs for this year’s Costume Institute Benefit.

Much speculation has been made if Taylor Swift will be in attendance but so far, not even Wintour could tell us when TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager asked.

TODAY.com will update this live blog with any notable arrivals and we'll keep a running tab of the biggest names in attendance here .

The Met Gala has featured a theme every year since 1973

Chrissy Callahan

Only one event has the power to unite models, designers, musicians, actors and other A-listers:  The Met Gala .

The Met Gala’s dress codes complement the event’s theme, derived from the Costume Institute’s spring exhibit. As we mentioned, the  2024 event 's dress code is “The Garden of Time,” paired with the new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Though the Met Gala began in 1948, the first themed year was in 1973. From then on — starting with the theme of “The World of Balenciaga” — to this year's “The Garden of Time,” take a look back at the Met Gala over the years here.

Who are the 2024 Met Gala co-chairs and what do they do?

Vogue's Anna Wintour started overseeing the Met Gala in 1995 and has co-chaired every year since, with the exceptions of 1996 and 1998, according to the publication .

A group of A-listers are selected annually to work with Wintour. For the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth were tapped to be the co-hosts for the evening. Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Chew are also honorary chairs.

The co-chairs act as a committee that helps ensure the star-studded night is a success.

While Hemsworth will make his debut at the gala on May 6, his fellow co-chairs have made multiple appearances on the famous Met steps. In her TODAY interview, Wintour gushed about her co-hosts and pointed out that it will be Lopez's 14th time attending. She also complimented Bad Bunny's stage presence and compared Hemsworth to a fairy tale prince.

"And then Zendaya, you know, a couple of years when she couldn’t come," Wintour said. "I felt gloom hung over the internet. Like, you know, a cloud of sad emojis because everyone always looks forward to what she’s gonna wear. And I know she will not disappoint."

How much does it cost to go to the Met Gala?

The Met Gala is one of the most exclusive events in Hollywood — only a select group of celebrities receive the special invitation.

But the price to attend fashion’s biggest night of the year isn’t cheap. AP reported in 2023 that an individual ticket cost $50,000 and the starting price for tables was $300,000.

Wintour approves the guest list, which is kept a secret until the arrivals begin.

The gala serves as a fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute. The 2023 Met Gala raised nearly $22 million, setting a record for the event, according to Vogue Business.

What is the 2024 Met Gala theme?

Every year, the Met Gala theme matches the latest exhibition at the museum's Costume Institute.

The new exhibit at the museum this year is titled, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and includes approximately 250 pieces from the Costume Institute's archives.

Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour explained on TODAY that the "Sleeping Beauties" refers to "taking these masterpieces from different periods" and giving the "fragile" art new life in the museum.

To coincide with the theme, the dress code for the evening will be "The Garden of Time," a reference to J. G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name, according to Vogue .

Wintour told TODAY co-anchor Jenna Bush Hager that she expects there will be plenty of flowers on the red carpet.

The "Sleeping Beauties" theme follows the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" theme last year that honored the late fashion icon, who died in 2019 at the age of 85 . Other past themes include "Gilded Glamour," "Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology" and "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination."

A brief history of the Met Gala

Established by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert, the first Costume Institute Gala, or Met Gala, took place in 1948. As it is now, the high society event was a fundraiser for the then-newly founded Costume Institute, marking the opening of its annual exhibit.

According to Vogue , in its early days, the annual event was an exclusive dinner held at various locations across the city. It wasn't until former Vogue editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland became a consultant for the Costume Institute in 1972 that it became what it has become now. Vreeland moved the Gala to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and created the concept of co-chairs.

In 1995 current Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour took the reins as chairman of the Institute. Up until 1999, the Met Gala would take place in December or late November. However, per Vogue, it was later changed to spring because the season was less crowded with social events; thus the first Monday in May was born.

From its inception, the invitation-only Met Gala celebrates historical periods, genres, individual creators and moments in time, with celebrities, models, designers, influencers and select A-listers invited. It has also evolved to include special performances by big stars like Rihanna, Cher, Lady Gaga, Madonna and more.

Over time, the price of the ticket has jumped from under $100 to $75,000 for one ticket in 2024, according to the New York Times .

Met Gala 2024 live updates: red carpet arrivals, fashion highlights, celebrity interviews, and more

Posted: May 6, 2024 | Last updated: May 6, 2024

• The 2024 Met Gala is today in New York City.
• Its theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the dress code is "The Garden of Time."
• Celebrities and billionaires, including Jeff Bezos and Rihanna, are expected to walk the red carpet.

It's finally time for fashion's biggest night.

On Monday night, the world's most famous, influential, and wealthy stars will visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to attend the annual Met Gala and fundraise for the center's Costume Institute.

This year's exhibit and ball highlights historical garments and technological advancements in style with a " Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" theme . The night's dress code, "The Garden of Time," is inspired by a 1962 short story of the same name.

Keep an eye on this page for the night's latest news, from surprising celebrity moments to standout fashion looks.

A few Met Gala regulars stand out among the rest.

As the biggest night of the year for celebrity fashion, it's hard to stand out from the pack when walking the famous Met steps. But stars like Rihanna , Kim Kardashian , and Blake Lively have cemented themselves as Met Gala royalty.

It's unclear whether all of those Met Gala legends will attend the 2024 event — though Rihanna is expected to make an appearance — but co-hosts Zendaya and Jennifer Lopez are known to make a splash with their looks, too.

The Metropolitan Museum steps underwent a major transformation this year.

The museum's famous steps have been covered in a tan-and-green carpet that mimics grass to match this year's "Garden of Time" dress code and "Sleeping Beauties" theme.

The steps are also lined with bushes of green foliage and white flowers, and the entrance walls have been adorned with a forest-print backdrop.

Met Gala tickets cost $75,000 and include cocktails, a formal dinner, and musical performances.

The Met Gala, a fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is notoriously exclusive. Each year, the guest list is approved by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour , and attendees then pay a hefty entry fee.

This year, individual tickets cost a record $75,000, while tables start at $350,000.

For that price, they get access to a glamorous party where they can mingle with other celebrities and enjoy cocktails, a formal dinner, and surprise musical performances.

Billionaires are expected to make fashionable appearances this year.

In the past, celebrities like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian have been the most fashionable billionaires on the Metropolitan Museum steps. But this year, all eyes are on execs like Jeff Bezos and their dates.

Lauren Sanchez , Bezos's fiancée, is among the top to watch, with rumors circulating that Anna Wintour herself has helped choose her outfit.

Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and co. prepared for the 2024 Met Gala with a dinner hosted by Anna Wintour.

On Sunday night, Wintour hosted a dinner for this year's Met Gala co-chairs in New York City. Lopez arrived in a crystal-encrusted dress and $31,000 earrings, Zendaya pulled out a vintage John Galliano design for the event, and Chris Hemsworth matched his wife in a blue animal-print ensemble.

Bad Bunny was also there, though he kept his outfit more casual. He sported a blazer, a New York Yankees cap, and a single latex glove.

You can watch this year's red carpet online and on TV at 6 p.m. ET.

Vogue will livestream the Met Gala carpet on YouTube, TikTok, and its website, with co-hosts including Gwendoline Christine, La La Anthony, and Ashley Graham.

E! will also broadcast TV coverage of red-carpet arrivals, with Ross Matthew doing interviews on-site. Read full story

The 2024 Met Gala theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and its dress code is "The Garden of Time."

When the new "Sleeping Beauties" Costume Institute exhibit opens this month, visitors will be able to see iconic garments, both new and old.

As Vogue previously reported, modern "masterpieces of fashion" will be displayed alongside garments so old and fragile that they require technology to help showcase them.

And, of course, the 2024 Met Gala will follow the same theme.

Attendees have been given a dress code of "The Garden of Time," inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name — which is filled with references to a "utopia of leisure, art, and beauty," flowers made of crystal, and encroaching dystopia.

That said, celebrity stylists previously told Business Insider that they believe stars will show up in vintage designer pieces, sustainable outfits, and garments embedded with technology.

The Met Gala's co-chairs this year include Zendaya , Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth. Read full story

Suga live in New York: a show-stopping statement of artistic intent at the BTS rapper’s debut solo tour

UBS Arena, Elmont, New York, April 27: Heading out on his own tour for the first time, the star celebrates his debut solo album 'D-DAY' with one of the most ambitious live shows in recent memory

S uga’s first solo tour starts with a bang – quite literally. After rainy graphics pour down on the screen at the back of the stage, accompanied by the sound of continuous showers, a loud crash and an explosion of pyro jolts the UBS Arena into action. The attention-grabbing opening is a nod to the motorcycle accident the BTS rapper experienced during his trainee days. It’s depicted vividly in a video that plays before he takes the stage, featuring the star lying in a rain-soaked street, visions of the past and future cutting over shots of his prone body.

• READ MORE: Suga of BTS: “You have to find what makes you happy, what brings you joy”

Dramatic stage-setting complete, the time comes for Suga – or Agust D, the name his solo work has been released under so far – to enter the spotlight for real. But instead of the usual route of bounding up onto his platform, he’s instead carried on by dancers, who lay him on his back on the stage, recreating the pose we’ve just seen on screen. Mystery abounds as lightning flashes across the screen, and the sound of traditional instruments reverberates in the background until the first notes of ‘Haegeum’ resound around the arena and he leaps up, accelerating the energy in an instant.

“I dare say it’ll be a totally different tour from previous BTS tours, and a tour beyond what everyone can imagine,” Suga told NME recently and, on the second date of the run (April 27), it soon becomes clear that was no exaggeration. It differs from the group’s concerts in its pacing and structure – two main segments that blaze and simmer and an encore, rather than multiple shorter sections – but it’s the latter half of his comment that really hits home.

The rapper’s stage is unlike anything NME has seen before. It is divided into nine panels that, one by one and at different points throughout the show, lift up to the ceiling. Every removal diminishes the space he has to jump about on, but each reveals a new hidden prop or allows a new element of showmanship to be added. When the first four elevate skywards during ‘Give It To Me’, spurts of fire shoot up in the gaps. By the end of the set, no panels remain, returning the star to floor level for an encore that, based on the preceding VCR, strips away the alter egos of Suga and Agust D, leaving just the person Min Yunki to close things out.

This might be Suga’s first solo tour, and though he’s used to being flanked by his six bandmates and sharing the spotlight – not to mention entertainment responsibilities – he looks instantly at home and unflappably confident. He jokes with fans that they “slay” and looks amusedly perplexed when the arena unites in barking at him. There’s not a moment on stage where he looks nervous or uncomfortable.

While those gathered would likely be satisfied with just seeing Suga rap – and it would be much easier for him to stay in that lane – he uses the concert as a chance to show off his musicality. First, he remakes ‘Trivia: Seesaw’, his solo track from BTS’ 2018 album ‘Love Yourself: Answer’, on an acoustic guitar signed by the other six members.

Later, he sits down at a piano, revealed when another panel moves up to the roof, to perform ‘D-DAY’’s ‘Life Goes On’ and ‘Snooze’. The latter is preceded by a clip from his Road To D-DAY documentary with late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto , who features on the recorded version of the song. After the video of the musical legend plays, a message shows on the screens: “I wish you peace on your long journey. RIP Sakamoto Ryuichi.”

There are also chances for Suga to display his underrated vocal skills, adeptly nailing the hook of ‘Life Goes On’ and, in a surprise move, taking over collaborator MAX’s lines in a fiery, fierce version of ‘Burn It’. No matter how flawless these performances are, rap is still his forte and his bar-spitting abilities are second to none tonight. The quick-fire delivery of ‘Agust D’’s second verse – with barely a pause for air – is jaw-droppingly impressive, while a ferocious medley of ‘Cypher pt.3: Killer’, ‘Cypher pt.4’, ‘UGH!’, the deep cut and fan favourite ‘Ddaeng’, and ‘HUH?!’ goes so hard it feels like the entire venue could combust at any second.

A bruising version of ‘Amygdala’ , in which Suga sings in increasingly raw and urgent tones, brings the main show to a close, flames licking at the feet of the final panel that forms the remainder of the stage. After a brief intermission, he returns, bathed in orange light that gives the impression he is rising like his own phoenix from the ashes.

Where ‘Amygdala’ centres on pain and trauma, his encore opener ‘D-DAY’ brings a positive outlook: “ D-Day is coming, it’s a fucking good day ,” he raps at one point, while the chorus adds: “ Future’s gonna be OK .” It’s an (almost) optimistic closing note to a show that brims with artistic intent and pulls off an ambitious production with ease. “I promise, I guarantee you, I will come back,” Suga tells the audience before a powerful final one-two of ‘Intro: Never Mind’ and ‘The Last’. Let the countdown begin.
