The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced the new theme for Met Gala 2027, "extraORDINARY: Fashion and Poetics of the Everyday." The exhibition will replace the cancelled John Galliano project and will open on May 9, 2027.

John Galliano has cancelled the "John Galliano: Horizons" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the 2027 Met Gala theme, citing a desire not to distract the museum from its work. The Met confirmed the decision, and a new exhibition title will be announced later.

John Galliano has canceled the exhibition John Galliano: Horizons, which The Met had planned to open in spring 2027 and make the foundation of Met Gala. He explained the decision by his unwillingness to cause discomfort to the museum amid criticism of his past.
