Every year, the Met Gala red carpet delivers some of the most unforgettable fashion moments of all time. This year's event in New York City was no exception, featuring the theme "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." A host of A-list celebrities graced the red carpet in bespoke designs, paying homage to this year's theme and the "garden of time" dress code in thoughtful and unexpected ways.
Naturally, all the official hosts of Met Gala 2024 made the best-dressed list. Zendaya turned heads with two striking looks—a custom Maison Margiela ensemble and a vintage Givenchy dress from the fashion house's 1996 Spring collection. Jennifer Lopez dazzled in a glittering Schiaparelli piece; Bad Bunny sported a sculptural Maison Margiela suit, while Chris Hemsworth opted for a sleek Tom Ford suit.
Unsurprisingly, floral motifs were among the night’s standout themes. Celebrities transformed into high-fashion bouquets in various ways. Nicki Minaj wore a Marni dress covered with hand-painted metal flowers, and Gigi Hadid stunned in a Thom Browne ball gown adorned with three-dimensional flowers. Adwoah Aboah marked the night’s best pregnancy moment in a red floral-printed H&M outfit featuring a crop top and flared skirt.
The night also shone with more unexpected and avant-garde moments, proving that the best-dressed celebs didn't need to stick to floral patterns. For instance, Lana Del Rey brought drama in an Alexander McQueen outfit covered with an antlered headpiece, a thoughtful homage to the late designer’s iconic 2006 Fall/Winter collection. Tyla transformed herself into a sand sculpture with a Balmain dress that mimicked the texture of sand.
Who were the best-dressed men of the night? Well-dressed gentlemen like Josh O'Connor in Loewe, Morgan Spector in Willy Chaverria, and Stefon Diggs in H&M shone with modern and stylish attire.
