- The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May each year.
- Anna Wintour has tapped celebrities to co-chair since taking over the Costume Institute in 1995.
Being invited to the Met Gala is one thing. But being named a co-chair of the annual event is an even bigger honor.
In 1995, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour began co-hosting the event alongside fellow editors, socialites, and even European royalty.
She then began passing the job on to designers, actors, musicians, and even athletes in recent years.
But what do the Met Gala co-chairs do, and who's held the title in the past?
While Wintour has never revealed their exact role, it's rumored that co-chairs help plan the event's theme, dinner, and performances.
They're also some of the first stars to arrive on the red carpet each year — helping to exemplify the night's dress code — and their names are used to promote the annual event in the months leading to it.
The 2024 Met Gala co-chairs are Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth.
Here's a look back at who's held the honor in the past.
