For the 2024 met gala, I assume based on the promotional material that the exhibit will include pieces that are fragile due to age (as seen here), as well as pieces that are fragile due to the way they were designed (like some couture runway looks that are only meant to make it through the runway show).
As inspiration , I went through the Met’s online archive and found some old, fragile looking pieces as inspiration. The first two were actually used in the promotional material, with the first dress apparently being the inspiration for the exhibit.
Please note I’m not a curator, it’s possible these pieces aren’t as fragile as I think, or that there are more modern pieces that are more fragile. I also have no idea what will actually be in the exhibit, I could be totally off.
Let me know if you want to see more.

You aren’t planning on posting about the met gala? I’ve always enjoyed them tbh!
I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Honestly, I'll probably be too busy.
I also find that as much as I love celebrity events, they can be really draining to post on here

Met Gala Info Post
I’m seeing a lot of people fundamentally misunderstanding the Met Gala so here we go:
The Met Gala is held the first Monday in May every year and serves as both the primary fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute and the opening of an exhibit, which runs for months after the Gala. The Gala raises millions of dollars for the Costume Institute every year, and completely funds it. The Costume Institute used to be separate from the Met, so they have separate budgets.
It started in 1948, Diane Vreeland made it a society event in the 70′s and added themes, and it became a more elaborate costume-y event in the early 2000′s.
Anna Wintour has co-hosted it since 1995, and Conde Nast (Vogue’s parent company) is a sponsor, though there’s usually an additional corporate sponsor and additional famous co-chairs selected by Wintour. She has a hand in everything including the exhibit, guest list, seating arrangements, décor, performers, menu, and even what people wear.
Work on next year’s Met Gala starts on the first Tuesday in May, with the theme being one of the first issues decided on, since it needs to be coordinated with the exhibit.
Tickets are invite-only, and cost $40,000 each. Designers, brands, and companies will often buy out tables and invite or “sponsor” attendees themselves, which often leads to celebrities being contractually obligated to wear the designer that invited them. The guest list is usually around 650-700 people total.
Guests aren’t required to follow the theme. It’s technically not a costume ball.
If you want to learn more, there’s a documentary called “The First Monday in May” about the history of the Met Gala and follows the planning of the 2015 “China: Through the Looking Glass” Gala
