A fashion show featuring the creations of 10 local designers may have been the centerpiece of the Baltimore MET Gala 2024, but there was a show to be had in the party itself.
Many of the 1,450 guests went all-out and over-the-top in their look to fit this year’s theme of “Adam and Eve: Enter The Garden.” Like the aforementioned garden, the event – held at the Maryland Live! Hall – offered sundry earthly delights, including food and drinks from Baltimore-area restaurants and vendors, and artwork from local artists. The evening’s program also included Community Impact Awards going to 11 honorees. This year’s MET Gala benefited Black Girls Vote.
