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-thetop 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
Sloane Brown
– offered sundry earthly

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.
