Event regarded as Oscars of fashion industry replaces John Galliano retrospective with homage to the ‘extra ordinary’
A few months after the planned John Galliano Met Gala retrospective was cancelled amid a backlash focused on the designer’s past, a more commonplace theme has been announced: “extraORDINARY: fashion and the poetics of the everyday.” It has left some commentators speculating that celebrities might replace the couture “omelette dresses” and four-part red-carpet performances with jeans and a nice top.
While the dress code for the next Met Gala, which will be held on 3 May 2027, is yet to be announced, it traditionally derives from the exhibition theme.
