The 2024 Met Gala, held in New York City, lived up to its reputation for showcasing unforgettable celebrity fashion. The theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” inspired attendees to pay homage to the era with thoughtful and unexpected creations.
The night’s best-dressed attendees were those who embraced the theme and “garden of time” dress code in unique ways. Official co-hosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth turned heads in custom creations by Margiela, Schiaparelli, and Tom Ford, respectively.
Florals emerged as a breakout trend, with celebrities transforming into high-fashion bouquets. Nicki Minaj stunned in a Marni dress adorned with hand-painted metal flowers, while Gigi Hadid donned a three-dimensional floral ballgown by Thom Browne. Adwoah Aboah showcased a stunning maternity look in a red floral H&M ensemble.
Beyond florals, the night also featured unexpected and avant-garde moments. Lana Del Rey paid homage to Alexander McQueen’s iconic fall 2006 collection in a veiled look complete with an antlered headpiece. Tyla transformed herself into a sand sculpture with an extremely fitted Balmain gown resembling a second skin.
Well-dressed men like Josh O’Connor, Morgan Spector, and Stefon Diggs showcased contemporary and dapper tailoring in creations by Loewe, Willy Chaverria, and H&M, respectively.
From Zendaya’s striking Margiela look to Lana Del Rey’s dramatic Alexander McQueen ensemble, the 2024 Met Gala red carpet was filled with memorable fashion moments that paid homage to the theme and celebrated the art of fashion.
