The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced that its 2027 Costume Institute exhibition and Met Gala will focus on how designers transform everyday clothing and ordinary materials into works of art.
Titled “extraORDINARY: Fashion and the Poetics of the Everyday”, the exhibition will be organised by Costume Institute curator in charge Andrew Bolton.
The exhibition will explore the creative reinvention of familiar garments, including T-shirts, jeans, white shirts and trench coats, as well as discarded materials such as paper, aluminium and plastic.
The 2027 Met Gala will take place on 3 May, with the exhibition opening to the public on 9 May.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 U.S. AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL HUCKABEE PUBLICLY DISAGREES WITH VANCE OVER GOP’S MIDTERM DEFEAT
Vance says Republican voters want a change in America’s relationship with Israel following the party’s election losses.
But Huckabee pushed back in an interview with Israel’s Channel 12.
“I don’t agree with that because I don’t think that’s where voters are.”
He claimed only 19% of Republicans share that concern, arguing that criticism of the relationship is concentrated on the far left.
Is Trump’s own administration divided over how much Israel and the Iran war contributed to the GOP’s defeat?
