2024 Met Gala: Sleeping Beauty’s Reawakening Fashion

The 2024 Met Gala theme has been announced, and it promises to be a dazzling affair.

Vogue recently unveiled new details about the Metropolitan Museum of Art's highly-anticipated fashion gala, which is held annually on the first Monday in May and attracts the biggest stars from all entertainment industries.

Titled “Sleeping Beauty's Reawakening Fashion,” the upcoming Costume Institute exhibit will showcase approximately 250 items, including 15 significant pieces that span over 400 years of history.

Among these treasures is an 1877 Charles Frederick Worth Silk Satin Ballgown.

The exhibit will also feature a wide range of fashion, from a 17th-century English Elizabethan-era bodice to modern-day works by renowned fashion industry tastemakers such as Philip Lim, Stella McCartney, and Conor Ives.

Additionally, designs by legendary names in fashion, including Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, and Hubert de Givenchy, will be on display.

While fashion enthusiasts eagerly await the event, there is one burning question on everyone's minds: Will Duchess Meghan Markle be invited to the 2024 Met Gala?

The revelation of the gala's theme has only intensified the anticipation surrounding her potential attendance.

It has been rumored that Meghan may not receive an invitation, but behind the scenes, the team at WME (William Morris Endeavor) is working tirelessly to secure a ticket for her.

According to a tabloid report, Meghan has been engaged in discussions with a supervisor at WME in an effort to secure an invitation.

She aims to fully embody the theme of Sleeping Beauty by assuming the persona of a princess.

In her vision, she sees herself adorned in a regal royal ensemble, complete with a tiara.

She envisions wearing a dress with a rose-shaped collar that delicately frames her face, should negotiations prove successful.

However, there remains a significant hurdle to overcome.

Which fashion house would be willing to take a chance on Meghan?

The strained relationship between Meghan and her husband Harry and the event's organizer, Anna Wintour, poses a challenge for WME.

Since 2019, Anna has effectively placed the royal couple on an embargo, solidifying her stance as a staunch monarchist.

Additionally, invitations are expected to be extended to Princess Kate and Prince William, further complicating matters.

Meghan's presence at the event could inadvertently create a narrative of connection, despite it being purely coincidental, and some attendees may prefer to avoid such circumstances but find themselves unable to politely decline.

Given Anna Wintour's unwavering position, it appears unlikely that Meghan will receive an invitation to the Met Gala as long as Wintour remains in charge.

This raises the question of why Harry and Meghan have been absent from prominent Hollywood gatherings.

Speculation suggests that Hollywood publicists may be hesitant to invite the royal couple, fearing that their presence would overshadow the proceedings.

While Harry and Meghan aspire to attend such events, their previous involvement has been limited to comparatively less notable occasions.

In recent developments, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry seem to be charting a new course in their careers as they engage with influential figures in Hollywood.

They have been spotted meeting with super-networker Michael Kives and Wall Street titan Ken Griffin.

An insider reveals that Kives is a power broker, and this encounter paints a picture of Meghan and Harry expanding their network.

It remains to be seen what discussions Harry and Griffin might have had, but it's clear that power and money are at the forefront of these interactions.
