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 Hadidwere among the celebrities in attendance – and there was even a pregnancy reveal.
Here are some of the best outfits from the Met Gala 2024.
Image: Co-chair Zendaya stunned in vintage black Givenchy couture from the spring 1996 collection, featuring a floral bouquet hat with a long train. And she surprised with not one…
Image: … but two gowns, bringing a dark twist to the theme with both. This ocean-blue and green tulle gown with a matching headpiece is by Maison Margiela, styled by her long-time collaborator Law Roach
Image: 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?
Image: And of course, it was a family affair. Here’s Kylie Jenner in a more simple cream gown, apparently inspired by a garden statue but giving very Marilyn Monroe herself
Image: While Kendall Jenner opted for dramatic black and bronze with a cut-out waist
Image: All white is a tricky look to pull off at a party, but if anyone can go a night without spilling her soup it’s Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner (and partner Corey Gamble)

Image: Model Karlie Kloss, left, and Swarovski creative director Giovanna Battaglia brought visions of a sparkling rose garden in pink and green

Image: FKA Twigs, who recently revealed she has created an AI clone of herself, was another star to channel the ‘naked’ look, underneath what looks like the world’s cosiest cardi
Image: What else but gold for a winner like Serena Williams?
