## Summary

The Met Gala has replaced its planned John Galliano tribute with a new theme focused on everyday clothing, following public backlash over Galliano’s involvement. Vogue announced “extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday” for next spring’s Costume Institute exhibition.

Curator Andrew Bolton said the exhibition will explore how designers elevate familiar clothes such as T-shirts and jeans, and transform materials including paper, aluminium and plastic into wearable art. It opens on 9 May 2027 and runs until 9 January 2028, with the gala scheduled for 3 May; visitors are invited to wear a favourite everyday garment.
