Highlights from the 2024 Met Gala exhibit: Sleeping Beauty would wake up for these gowns

Associated Press  

▶ Follow AP’s live coverage of the 2024 Met Gala here. “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the spring Costume Institute exhibit that debuts at Monday’s Met Gala, is not technically about THAT Sleeping Beauty. But the “cloud dress” by influential English designer Charles Frederick Worth is doomed, due to deterioration of the vertical threads — “there’s nothing we can do about it,” Bolton says. In another gallery, you can hear the clattering of razor clam shells, captured the same way — accompanying McQueen’s dramatic “razor clam” dress, covered with dried and bleached shells. Two evening dresses, one by Saint Laurent for Dior and one by Lanvin, yielded molecules found in things like almonds and honey, tobacco and hay, and even “a mild sex attractant for moths and cockroaches.” SCENT OF A WOMAN Yes, it was an Al Pacino movie — but here, it’s a gallery devoted to Millicent Rogers, a socialite, heiress and art collector known for her style and how she combined haute couture with regional dress.
