Met Gala 2027 'extraORDINARY' spotlights everyday fashion on May 3
Entertainment
The Met Gala is switching things up for 2027 with the theme "extraORDINARY: fashion and the poetics of the everyday."
Instead of a John Galliano retrospective, next year's event will spotlight how designers turn basics like jeans, T-shirts, and even plastic into eye-catching fashion.
Mark your calendars for May 3, and yes, it's still invite-only.
Met Gala prompts criticism and upcycling
Not everyone's thrilled; author Dana Thomas thinks it missed a chance to honor figures who have died this year like Dolly Parton and Bob Mackie.
But stylist Marian Kwei is excited about the shift toward personal style over pure spectacle.
Expect to see creative upcycling from designers like Ellen Hodakova Larsson and Duran Lantink.
