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.
