The dress code for the event will be The Garden Of Time.
The event marks the opening of The Costume Institute's spring exhibition. The theme is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
The exhibition will be on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue from May 10 to September 2, 2024.
This comes after Zendaya said she finds the Met Gala 'terrifying'.
The actress, 27, will be going up the Met steps for the first time since 2019 this year and is set to co-chair the event, but she has admitted the experience is both exciting and 'daunting'.
During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she told the hosts: 'Going up the steps is very daunting, and I haven't been back for maybe four or five years.
'So this is, like, my first time back at the Met in quite a while.'
The actress, who is gearing up to the release of her new movie Challengers - where she plays the stylishly-dressed tennis player Tashi - said she loves to 'embody' her characters, even during press tours.
She explained: 'It's fun in the sense that I like to look at fashion as creativity.
'Even in press tours, it's a way to continue the creativity from the film.
'I like to just create characters, because ultimately sometimes, doing this for a living feels a little weird and awkward and I'm more of a shy, introverted person, so I get to create these characters.
'I'm this woman today who wears a green suit.' You get to embody this character for a day and clothes can do that for you.'
Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion will feature approximately 250 different items, including some pieces that are over 400 years old, like an 1877 Charles Frederick Worth silk satin ball gown.
The dress code will be The Garden of Time, which is said to be inspired by the J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name.
Vogue has explained the dress code will be about 'fleeting beauty.'
The Bronx native has been at the splashy Met Gala in New York City many times over her career. Here is a look back at her glamorous statements.
1999
The first time she went, the singer was on the arm of rapper and music producer P Diddy, also known as Puff Daddy and Sean Combs. The year was 1999 and she wore a pink dress with a matching fur jacket. He was dashing in a white turtleneck and button free coat. The theme was Rock Style.
2004
The diva was in a black lace tiered dress when she posed with Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce at the event. Her hair was up in a Swedish braid and she wore ruby red lipstick.
2006
It was a drastic change in 2006 as Jenny From The Block opted for a one-shoulder gown in a soft white color with a sheer mermaid finish and her hair down. She added long earrings and carried a clutch purse for a very polished look. The theme was Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion.
2007
There was a 1920s influence for this shimmery silver dress that was off the shoulder and had a dazzling belt as she added a hair clip that matched her earrings and clutch purse. The theme was Poiret: King of Fashion.
2008
In the year 2008 the Wedding Planner actress went with a more feminine look as she had on a dusty green one-strap gown with heavy embellishments on the neckline and several folds. Her hair was worn in soft waves and she had on an oversized cuff that matched her earrings.
2010
This year the Back-Up Plan star returned to Hollywood glamour with a sparkly strapless silver Cinderella style dress as she wore her hair up.
2011
The Parker star went for a ruby look with a halter dress and flowers on her shoulders with a matching pout as she had her hair pulled back dramatically. Her date was husband Marc Anthony.
2013
Her figure was the highlight of this look as the El Cantante actress wore a black and nude colored skintight dress with her hair up in a big quaff. The theme was Punk: Chaos To Couture. Her date was dancer Casper Smart.
2015
It was a Versace moment for the Boy Next Door star who had on mostly sheer dress with red sequins. Again, she went with only one strap. The theme was China: Through the Looking Glass.
2017
The diva harked back to the 1970s in a long blue gown with her hair worn down her chest and diamond earrings as an accent. She took with her Alex Rodriguez for the first time. The theme was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between.
2018
The Shades Of Blue actress went for a structured dress this year with a large cross on the front in rhinestones and cut outs on her chest. The theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and The Catholic Imagination. Her date Alex wore all black.
2019
Jennifer took a risk this year by wearing a headpiece made of crystals for the theme Camp: Notes on Fashion. Her dress was very low cut as was the slit up the side. Her date again was Alex who went with a pink blazer.
2021
For the 2021 Met Gala, Jennifer channeled the wild West. She wowed in this dazzling brown Ralph Lauren gown that was so low cut it ended at her belly, offering plenty of cleavage. The skirt portion was long and had a high slit up one leg.
Her date for the night was Ben Affleck who wore a black tuxedo with bow tie.
The Met Gala theme was In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
2023
The look was inspired by the 1940s as Jennifer had on a fascinator with a black veil over her eyes adding statement earrings.
The former Fly Girl had on a pale pink silk and black velvet custom Ralph Lauren gown that looked retro and modern at the same time.
