  • The fashion world is waiting with bated breath to see if Taylor Swift will attend this year’s Met Gala, which is titled ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ with the dress code The Garden of Time
  • Although the pop icon – who just released new album The Tortured Poets Department – was a Met Gala co-chair in 2016, she hasn’t attended the event since …

The fashion world is abuzz as the 2024 Met Gala is swiftly approaching.

On May 6 – the first Monday in May – stars will gather at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” gala. The Met Gala red carpet is always exciting, as celebrities reveal their interpretations of the event’s dress code – which is The Garden of Time for 2024.

But it’s also thrilling to see which stars ultimately attend the event, since the guest list is kept under wraps. For instance, there have been conflicting reports on whether Taylor Swift will attend the gala after releasing her record-breaking album The Tortured Poets Department.

Whether she attends in 2024 or not, Swift’s legacy at the Met Gala looms large. Take a look back at all the outfits she’s worn to the event, ranked from least to most iconic.
