The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York hosted the 2024 Met Gala on Monday.

  • Alia Bhatt’s sari was decorated with meticulously hand-embroidered flowers.
  • Zendaya showcased two looks on the red carpet, with her first gown aligning more closely with the theme.
  • Barry Keoghan also chose a look influenced by fashion’s past.
  • Elle Fanning appeared as if she had just emerged from an enchanted lagoon.
  • Greta Lee adorned herself in a romantic ensemble featuring floral motifs.
  • Karlie Kloss looked stunning in a pink floral ensemble.

Vogue announced in November 2023 that the event’s theme would be “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” inspired by the Costume Institute’s exhibit showcasing “precious masterpieces of fashion,” some of which are too delicate to be worn.

Prior to the event, Vogue reported that attendees’ attire would be themed “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name. Many attendees incorporated floral details and archival pieces into their looks, as anticipated.

Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief, personally selects the invitees for the ultra-exclusive event, where tickets this year were priced at $75,000 each.

Here are the celebrities who perfectly embodied this year’s Met Gala theme.

According to Vogue, the actor donned a mint-green, floral sari gown intricately adorned with hand-embroidered flowers, a creation that required over 1,900 hours to complete.

Zendaya showcased two looks on the red carpet, with her first gown aligning more closely with the theme.

In her initial appearance, she wore a one-shoulder gown featuring blue tulle elegantly draped across the bodice. Intricate three-dimensional grape vines and floral motifs adorned the hips and shoulders, beautifully reflecting the event’s nature-inspired theme.

The ensemble was crafted by John Galliano for Maison Margiela Artisanal.

Barry Keoghan also chose a look influenced by fashion’s past.

The actor from “Saltburn” donned an olive-green velvet suit from Burberry, paired with a poplin top, top hat, and pocket watch, evoking a sense of timelessness.

The actor donned a translucent gown reminiscent of glass, flowing gracefully at the hemline. Drawing inspiration from “Sleeping Beauty,” the dress was adorned with two crystal birds seemingly supporting the gown, creating a truly enchanting effect.
