After weeks of anticipation, the 2024 Met Gala is finally here. Celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art's upcoming Costume Institute exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," the event is set to honor a curation of rare and archival pieces from across four centuries of fashion.
Just like years past, the red—well, green—carpet was worth the wait. The Met entrance has been coated in a tie-dye carpet and live flowers to coordinate with the evening's dress code, "The Garden of Time." So far, stars are channeling nature's influence with bird-topped hats, floral embellishments, and in Jennifer Lopez's case, more than two million beads. Co-chair Zendaya arrived in a dreamy blue Maison Margiela gown with a hummingbird fascinator—and then shut down the carpet in a second look with an even bigger headpiece. Emma Chamberlain went the gothic route in Jean Paul Gaultier florals. Gigi Hadid looked like springtime incarnate in a white Thom Browne ballgown set with yellow roses. Cardi B arrived with five red carpet assistants, because her train was large and heavy.
All in all, the 2024 Met Gala brought the drama, flora, and fauna. Ahead, catch up on every noteworthy look to grace the Met Gala steps on Monday, May 6.
