And just like that, the 2024 Met Gala has arrived, darlings! As the illustrious event unfolded at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry graced the red carpet with their divine presence. With a theme as enchanting as “The Garden of Time” and a powerful quartet of co-chairs – Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Hemsworth – this year’s gala promised to be a feast for the senses.

As the clock struck six, fashion enthusiasts from all corners of the globe tuned in to the livestream hosted by Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony, and Ashley Graham, eagerly awaiting the parade of style icons that were about to descend upon the iconic Met steps. And let me tell you, dear readers, we were not disappointed.

The theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” called for a fusion of the old and the new, encouraging celebrities to don vintage masterpieces and futuristic ensembles alike. The result? A mesmerizing spectacle of textured garments, floral motifs, and innovative designs that paid homage to the ever-evolving world of fashion.

As the night unfolded, attendees dazzled in vintage designer pieces, sustainable outfits, and garments crafted with cutting-edge technology. Each look was a work of art in its own right, proving that fashion is not only a form of self-expression but also a powerful reflection of our times.

Among the sea of A-listers, Zendaya stunned in a dramatic gown that married classic elegance with modern flair, while Bad Bunny embraced the theme with a floral-inspired ensemble that exuded both masculinity and vulnerability. Not to be outdone, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth also showcased their unique interpretations of “The Garden of Time,” leaving us all in awe of their sartorial prowess.

Of course, no Met Gala would be complete without the watchful eye of the inimitable Anna Wintour, who, alongside honorary chairs Shou Chew and Jonathan Anderson, ensured that the event remained the epitome of style and sophistication.

As the last of the glitterati made their grand entrances, it was clear that the 2024 Met Gala had once again exceeded our wildest expectations. With its breathtaking ensembles, enchanting theme, and star-studded guest list, this year’s event will undoubtedly go down in history as a testament to the transformative power of fashion.

As the stars aligned for the 2024 Met Gala, we couldn’t help but eagerly anticipate the sartorial spectacles that would grace the red carpet. With a theme as enchanting as “The Garden of Time,” celebrities were encouraged to explore the realms of fashion past, present, and future. And oh, how they delivered! From the best-dressed gentlemen to the fashion faux pas, let’s dissect the looks that had us talking.

BEST DRESSED

The Asgardian god graced the event with an ethereal ensemble, a perfect marriage of classic elegance and modern charm in Tom Ford.

Gustav Magnar Witzøe possesses nearly half of Salmar Asa, one of the world’s leading salmon producers, as stated by Forbes. He obtained his share in the company from his father at the age of 19. At 31 years old, his approximate net worth stands at $3.9 billion. At the Met Gala, he wore Atelier Versace. “Upon learning that I would be dressing Gustav for the 2024 Met Gala, I was resolute that this year, it would be the Prince’s turn! I extend my gratitude to Atelier Versace for enabling me to embark on this expedition to Reawakening Fashion last night.”

The Latin trap sensation embraced the theme with a floral-inspired outfit that exuded a delicate balance of masculinity and vulnerability.

A navy washed barathea wool smoking with black grosgrain lapels and top-stitched red silk ribbon inseam lampasse, worn over a black satin corset. Black leather gloves, black silk socks, and black leather Tabi boots by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela worn ‘retrograding’ spats by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela. A ‘reverse swatching’ hat in midnight blue foam enveloped in midnight blue stocking material and a midnight blue washed barathea wool flower bouquet.

Created for Bad Bunny by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, the haute couture silhouette was inspired by the thirty-seventh exit in the 2024 Artisanal Collection. An expression of the studies of the ritual of dressing explored in the collection, the suit was painstakingly tailored over the corset to accentuate the illustrative line of the modified form. The bouquet is composed of a number of flowers: the Flor de Maga, the national flower of Puerto Rico; the rose, a symbol of beauty and purity; and the flax plant, the splinter of which Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on in the classic fairy tale.

The ‘reverse swatching’ technique employed in the hat exchanges the fabrics traditionally used for certain parts of dressmaking with materials of a contrasting value as a way of ‘appropriating the inappropriate’.

LOEWE by Jonathan Anderson made a significant appearance at the Met Gala. According to critics from Vogue and WWD, the brand's presentation was deemed the most precise and fashionably modern. The guests were adorned in bespoke ensembles inspired by this year's given dress code, "The Garden of Time."

The British actor’s whimsical yet sophisticated look showcased his flair for fashion and playfulness. “I hear it’s chaos downstairs… apparently there’s a two-and-a-half-hour queue for the lift!” #JonathanBailey told #BritishVogue from his suite on the 11th floor of The Mark, on the afternoon of the 2024 #MetGala. To the relief of fashion – and #Bridgerton – fans everywhere, the #Wicked star navigated the crush in the lobby and made it to the Met, wearing a Loewe suit embellished with a hand-crafted metal peony with a “sugar crystal” texture.

FROM MEH TO WORST DRESSED

Some attendees at the 2024 #MetGala failed to impress, with many opting for basic and uninspired ensembles. Despite the availability of numerous collections featuring the “garden” theme, only a select few made an effort to elevate their attire beyond conventional suits and black garments.
