On fashion world’s biggest night, Met Gala 2024 Red Carpet, dazzled once again with a theme that sparked endless creative interpretations. “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” paid homage to the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, and the stars embraced the “Garden of Time” dress code with theatrical flair. Here’s a look at some of the most unforgettable red-carpet moments:
Never one to disappoint, Zendaya served not one, but two show-stopping looks. She arrived in a custom Margiela gown, a sculptural masterpiece that transformed on the red carpet. The initial cocoon-like silhouette unfurled to reveal a shimmering, emerald green dress, a modern twist on a historical silhouette. Later in the evening, she switched to a vintage Givenchy gown from spring 1996, a classic example of 90s glamour.
Met Gala 2024 Co-chair Jennifer Lopez turned heads in a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown. The sheer, embellished masterpiece resembled a glistening coral reef, with a dramatic train that flowed majestically behind her. Exquisite jewels and a sleek updo completed the look, a perfect embodiment of timeless Hollywood glamour.
Known for pushing boundaries, Bad Bunny didn’t disappoint. He donned a sculptural, deconstructed suit by Margiela. The oversized proportions and unexpected layering defied traditional menswear codes, making him a standout amongst the classic tuxedos.
If there’s a queen of the Met Gala besides the evening’s mastermind, Anna Wintour, it’s Sarah Jessica Parker. The long-time attendee takes each year’s theme seriously, researching every detail. This year she was in an Alice in Wonderland look with a lavender overlay and a Philip Treacy topper on her head. The dress was by Richard Quinn. Her long hair tumbled behind her back in beachy waves, a look that built into a beauty trend of the evening.
Several other celebrities took unique approaches to the theme. Blackpink’s Jennie stunned in a midriff-baring electric blue Alaïa minidress, a modern take on a historical silhouette. Meanwhile, Tyla, the South African singer, captivated audiences with a custom sand-colored Balmain gown that flowed around her like a desert wind.
A Night for Fashion History: The 2024 Met Gala wasn’t just about individual looks. The red carpet was a collective celebration of fashion’s past, present, and future. From reimagined historical silhouettes to the innovative use of technology in the exhibit itself, the night was a testament to the enduring power of fashion to inspire us.
