The 51-year-old actress and mother to Ben Affleck’s kids attended the Met Gala for the first time in 2007 alongside designer Valentino Garavani. Although she maintains a great relationship with the gala organizer and Vogue’s EIC Anna Wintour, she revealed why she hasn’t returned to the publication.
While filming a makeup tutorial for Vogue, Garner said: “I found it a little scary, so I haven’t been back,” she added that despite it, she felt uncomfortable; her Valentino dress was “magical” and elegant. “That was really, like, majestic and special,” Garner remembered.
Garner thought her look was stunning, and in 2018, she once again praised the dress. “You will never appreciate using the bathroom alone until you’ve been sewn into a dress — Met Gala 2007,” she wrote on Instagram.
Met Gala 2024
The annual tradition will take place May 6, 2024, bringing together the biggest names in entertainment, fashion, and sport together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Vogue magazine recently announced that the upcoming gala will revolve around the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” “The Met’s innovative spring 2024 Costume Institute exhibition will push the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to experience the multisensory facets of a garment,” Marina Kellen, French Director and CEO of The Met, said.
