Inside fashion's biggest night: The best looks from the Met Gala 2024

By John Mercury May 7, 2024

The Met Gala always produces the most memorable red carpet looks of the year.

Following this year’s theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, and a Garden Of Time dress code, the stars pulled out all the botanical stops with their outfits, with floral and garden-inspired fashion unsurprisingly dominating.

Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid were among the celebrities in attendance – and there was even a pregnancy reveal.

Here are some of the best outfits from the Met Gala 2024.

Kim Kardashian is renowned for her Met Gala looks, from Marilyn Monroe’s actual dress to a Morph suit. This year, she cinched in with silver in custom Maison Margiela but also opted for a cardi, which is sensible. Kim Cardi-ashian? Anyone?
