The annual Met Gala, renowned for its extravagant red carpet spectacles, once again mesmerized New York City with its 2024 edition themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” A parade of A-listers flaunted custom outfits, each a nod to the theme and the event’s whispered “garden of time” dress code.
Among the standout attendees were the evening’s co-hosts, who naturally stole the spotlight. Zendaya wowed in two distinct looks—a bespoke Margiela creation and a vintage Givenchy gown from 1996. Jennifer Lopez sparkled in Schiaparelli, while Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth impressed in Margiela and Tom Ford, respectively.
Florals dominated the scene, with stars donning haute interpretations. Nicki Minaj donned a Marni gown adorned with hand-painted metal flowers, while Gigi Hadid stunned in a Thom Browne floral ballgown. Adwoah Aboah‘s maternity look in a red floral H&M ensemble was particularly memorable.
Amidst the floral frenzy, avant-garde moments also left their mark. Lana Del Rey paid homage to Alexander McQueen in a veiled ensemble, while Tyla turned heads in a sculptural Balmain gown.
The men didn’t disappoint either, with Josh O’Connor, Morgan Spector, and Stefon Diggs showcasing contemporary elegance in Loewe, Willy Chaverria, and H&M, respectively.
As the curtain fell on another Met Gala, the question remained: which stars shone brightest in fashion’s celestial firmament?
