The 2024 Met Gala, overseen by Anna Wintour, has ignited debate with its theme 'The Garden of Time,' inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story, and its controversial partnership with TikTok as the main sponsor for the money-losing event. Critics, including Senator Rick Scott, have raised concerns over TikTok's ties to the Chinese government and the involvement of its CEO, Shou Chew, as one of the four co-chairs. Despite the backlash, the gala, set for the first Monday in May, will proceed with a dress code that also includes 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' inviting a wide range of fantastical to historical interpretations from the attending celebrities and fashion icons.
