Met Gala goes casual — think jeans, sweatshirts — for 2027 theme

This year's Met Gala is breaking tradition with a theme that embraces casual wear, including jeans and sweatshirts, under the title "extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday." This shift comes after the museum cancelled a controversial John Galliano retrospective, indicating a move toward more inclusive and less formal celebrations of fashion. The change in theme underscores a broader cultural trend towards valuing everyday wear and its poetic potential, signaling a new direction for the prestigious event.
