This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
Also on the committee is Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.
‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
‘One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.’
Lopez has attended the Met Gala many times over the years.
She made her debut in 1999 with boyfriend at the time P Diddy.
In subsequent years she posed with Marc Anthony, Casper Smart and Alex Rodriguez.

She will visit more than 30 cities across North America, it was added, and they include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Boston and New York City.

Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale, which is beginning on Friday, February 23 at 10am local time on TicketMaster.com.
This comes days after she hinted that a tour could be in the cards.
She said earlier this week that she believed her upcoming record is well ‘suited’ to a ‘live experience’.
She told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: ‘I kept telling my team, I was like, “You have to understand, I’m going to perform these songs. I’m going to bring them to life onstage, and it needs to be down in the ground. We got to dig.”
‘And they understood it and they gave it to me.
‘I really want to [tour]. I believe that there’s nothing that’s more suited to being live and having a live experience than this record.
‘I don’t have any official kind of ‘this is it right now,’ but I am very keen to get out there and perform this music for sure.’
Jennifer’s last big run of shows was her ‘It’s My Party Tour’ in 2019, when she played gigs in the US, Canada, Israel, Russia, Turkey, Spain, and Egypt.
