Met Gala 2024 was an extravagant event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6, co-chaired by Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny. The theme for the night was 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name. Several sources reported on the red carpet fashion moments that left many in awe.
One of the most notable looks came from Amelia Gray, who wore a unique yellow terrarium dress from Undercover for the event, which was also featured on the cover sleeve of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's commemorative coffee table book for the 'Sleeping Beauties' exhibit. The dress was a standout among other floral-inspired looks that were popular on the night.
Another memorable moment came from Janelle Monae and Greta Lee, who both opted for nearly-nude looks that left little to the imagination. These daring choices added an element of surprise to the evening's fashion scene.
Designer Harris Reed walked with Demi Moore on the carpet, revealing her gown took 11,000 hours of silk embroidery and was made with vintage wallpaper. Lana Del Rey wore a custom Alexander McQueen dress inspired by artist Alberto Giacometti's sculptures.
Elle Fanning wore a sheer Balmain gown with resin sleeves that appeared to be drawn up by birds, while Wisdom Kaye and Bad Bunny favored bold takes for the night with floral ensembles. Men such as Jeff Goldblum also made a statement in outfits inspired by their characters in upcoming projects.
The Met Gala raises funds for the museum's Costume Institute and is one of fashion's biggest nights of the year.
