Photographer Sinna Nasseri has a knack for capturing the essence of high-profile events. Having photographed the likes of Academy Award nominees and hopefuls at the Oscars, it comes as no surprise that he has also graced the hallowed halls of the Met Gala—and returned for the 2024 iteration with his signature artistic flair.
Despite the multitude of cameras documenting the event, Nasseri’s photographs stand out with their unparalleled intimacy. His lens captures moments that transcend the polished smiles and poses of the red carpet, delving into the raw energy of the evening. From Donald Glover and Ayo Edebiri sharing a clandestine laugh in the museum’s galleries to Måneskin’s Damiano David gallantly assisting his partner Dove Cameron with her elaborate gown, Nasseri’s images reveal the unvarnished essence of the Met Gala experience.
His camera also captures the playful spirit of the night, as Kaia Gerber and Gracie Abrams playfully reach out to caress Cara Delevingne’s diamond-adorned Stella McCartney hood. These moments, captured with Nasseri’s keen eye, provide a tantalizing glimpse into the exclusive and glamorous world of the Met Gala, showcasing the unparalleled creativity and extravagance that defines this iconic fashion event.
