“2024 Met Gala: A Fashion Parade of A-Listers in Flora and Fauna Looks”
The 2024 Met Gala was a stunning affair filled with A-list celebrities and jaw-dropping fashion. The theme of the night was “The Garden of Time,” and attendees did not disappoint with their flora and fauna-inspired looks. Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya, both co-chairs of the event, wowed the crowd with their silver and peacock-inspired gowns.
Other notable looks included Mindy Kaling in a sand-colored swirl dress, Gigi Hadid in a Thom Browne creation adorned with millions of microbeads, and Sarah Jessica Parker in an Alice in Wonderland-inspired ensemble. First-timer Ayo Edebiri also made a splash in a youthful white look.
The event was not just about fashion, but also a fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute. Last year, the gala raised $22 million for the institute. The theme of this year’s Met Gala is inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story, and the accompanying exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” features rare and fragile garments from the Costume Institute’s collection.
For those who missed the live event, there are various ways to catch up on the highlights. Vogue has an exclusive livestream, while E! will also be covering the event. The Associated Press will have live coverage outside the Mark Hotel, where many celebrities get ready before heading to The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
