Held in New York City, the theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” is positioned to be a an exploration of “rebirth” and “renewal” that uses nature as a metaphor for the impermanence of fashion, according to a release from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In addition to this year’s theme, there is also an associated dress code titled “The Garden of Time,” which is inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 book of the same name. The literature tells the story of a count and countess who live in a villa that overlooks an extraordinary garden being intruded upon by a mob.

Leading up to this year’s extravaganza, fans anticipate seeing iconic looks from past attendees including Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya — who happen be co-chairs for this year’s event.
