The 40-year-old was 'hand-picked to co-host the iconic fashion event,' the Daily Telegraph reports. 

The 2024 Met Gala has the theme Sleeping Beauties, and will once again see the Hollywood and fashion elite descend on New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

Meanwhile, the honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

The dress code for this year's Met Gala exhibit is The Garden of Time.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.

'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.

'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'

The actor and his wife Elsa Pataky made quite a style statement as they stepped out in New Year ahead of the 2024 Met Gala this weekend.
