The star-studded festivities annually take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the first Monday in May - drawing in numerous celebrities for the big night. 

This year, the hosts are Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez and Bad Bunny.

The MET's Costume Institute is celebrating the new exhibition, called Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, with the dress code being The Garden of Time.

Shortly before the main event kicked off on Monday, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour sat down with Today host Jenna Bush Hager to discuss the big night.

The British-born fashion pillar revealed the 'cardinal sin' that she committed while planning this year's exhibition.

'This exhibition broke my cardinal rule, Jenna, which is when we came up with the title Sleeping Beauties, it's wonderful and poetic and romantic, but it actually could be many, many things,' she said. 

Anna joined forces with the MET's Costume Institute curator, Andrew Bolton, to decide on the Garden of Time dress code.

'I fear that we've unleashed a lot of confusion out there for which I deeply apologize, but I imagine we'll see a lot of flowers,' she predicted.

The Met Gala stream is hosted by Vogue and broadcast live across its digital platforms, as well as TikTok and YouTube, a press release shared on Monday.
