Jennifer Lawrence announced as co-host for Met Gala 2015
Jennifer Lawrence will co-host the Met Gala 2015, it has been announced.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed the news, confirming that the event will take place in New York on May 4.
The Oscar-winning actress will co-chair the annual fashion ball alongside Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Yahoo boss Marissa Mayer, Chinese actress Gong Li and Rupert Murdoch's former wife, businesswoman Wendi Deng Murdoch.
Held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Anna Wintour Costume Center, the theme of the 2015 gala and it's accompanying exhibition will be Chinese Whispers: Tales of the East in Art, Film and Fashion.
"Chinese Whispers will primarily examine how eastward-looking Westerners have understood, misunderstood and appropriated Chinese culture in an exchange that Bolton [Andrew, curator in the museum's Costume Institute] likens to a complicated game of telephone (which the British call 'Chinese whispers')," a Vogue description said.
Sarah Jessica Parker co-chaired this year's gala alongside Lawrence's Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper.
The duo have reunited for new film Serena, for which a trailer premiered earlier this week.
