Met Gala 2027 Theme Revealed After John Galliano Change
The Met Gala has a new theme after plans to honor designer John Galliano were canceled following controversy. Scheduled for May 3, 2027, the event now turns its attention to everyday clothes and the ways designers transform them into art. Vogue announced the theme on Instagram: “extraORDINARY: fashion and the poetics of the everyday.” The exhibition explores familiar wardrobe staples, including jeans, t-shirts, raincoats, sweatshirts and puffer jackets, highlighting garments that might otherwise receive little attention for their beauty. Curator Andrew Bolton is organizing the exhibition with assistance from Stephanie Kramer and Emily Mushaben. It examines how designers elevate everyday garments into runway creations, and how materials such as paper, aluminum and plastic can be transformed into wearable art. Bolton said he wanted an exhibition as challenging, provocative and beautiful as the Galliano show would have been. Galliano led Dior from 1996 to 2011, losing his job after being filmed making antisemitic comments. He was convicted of a hate crime in Paris.
