The clock above counts down to the Met Gala 2027 on Monday, May 3, 2027, the Costume Institute's annual benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The Met Gala is the Costume Institute's annual fundraising benefit and the kickoff for the Met's headline spring fashion exhibition. Anna Wintour has chaired the gala for decades, turning the Met steps into the highest-stakes red carpet of the year and a global media moment that sets fashion-news cycles for weeks.
The 2027 gala continues the first-Monday-in-May cadence, with the theme and co-chairs typically announced by Vogue in the late autumn or winter ahead of the event. Proceeds support the Costume Institute, the only self-funded department at the Met.
Vogue's red-carpet livestream begins around 18:00 ET on Vogue.com and the Vogue YouTube channel — 23:00 BST, 00:00 CEST (Tuesday), 03:30 IST (Tuesday), and 07:00 JST (Tuesday). The interior dinner is closed to cameras.
