From a courageous cockroach walking the red carpet to Jared Leto being accused of continuing his Joker method acting, the 2023 Met Gala was definitely a sight to remember. Much like in the past, 2023’s event featured a theme dedicated to fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld — which resulted in celebrities as far as the eye can see dressed in their best to pay homage to the German designer. That being said, fashionable horror fanatics have already decided what next year’s theme should be.
As if it weren’t already obvious enough, genre die-hards have unapologetically elected the 2024 Met Gala to feature the theme of horror. Seeing as the theme for the special event changes each year, it feels only fitting that organizers behind the benefit take a leap of faith and add some blood-stained flavor to the party. In fact, some users on Twitter have already showcased how a horror-themed Met Gala could look:
Truth be told, the concept of horror at the Met Gala is certainly not as out-of-this-world as Hollywood would probably try to persuade you to believe. After all, if Lady Gaga getting away with wearing a meat dress was possible, then surely the highest caliber of celebrities dressed in a variety of blood-splattered attire would be accepted.
And considering it’s canon that Ghostface from Scream was ‘stalking’ Ortega during her appearance at the 2023 Met Gala, then the inclusion of horror is undoubtedly more rampant than ever. Combine that with the fact that horror-inspired costumes are always a hit, and the 2024 Met Gala could already have its theme settled.
