Over the years, she has graced the event in designs by acclaimed fashion houses such as Oscar de la Renta and Versace.

This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” is a nod to the upcoming “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, set to open to the public on Friday. Notably, the 2024 event is co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
