2024 witnessed the Met Gala, a spectacular display of creativity and fashion. Recognised for its stunning red carpet, the event included a stunning couture selection from the most well-known designers in the industry.
Best Dressed Celebrities
Few stars stood out among the hundreds of attendees at the event because of their spectacular costumes:
- Zendaya
As co-chair of the 2024 Met Gala, Zendaya got off to a fantastic start. John Galliano created her initial Maison Margiela dress.
The sage lamé and iridescent organza dress has a hummingbird perched on her shoulder and blue and green grapes. Stephen Jones added even more originality to the outfit with his hand-painted headgear and veil.
Zendaya received a pair of custom-made Christian Louboutin Tabi shoes along with the dress. Her black lipstick and pink smoky eye took the stage in her low bun of hair.
A pair of Christian Louboutin Tabi shoes that were crafted just for Zendaya accompanied the gown. Her hair was pulled back into a low bun, which allowed her dark lipstick and pink smokey eye to be the focal points of the look.
Honoring the Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition, the ensemble also adhered to the “The Garden of Time” dress code for the evening. After a five-year absence, Zendaya triumphantly returned to the Met Gala wearing striking clothing that truly turned her into a living work of art!
- Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez arrived at the Met Gala in 2024 in an absolutely spectacular way. Along with Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny, co-hosted the event. Her gown, to put it simply, was a Schiaparelli Haute Couture masterpiece and anything from average. The translucent silver robe that dripped over her exquisite shape gave an otherworldly effect.
Two million silver foil bugles and beads embellished the ensemble. Her stylist Rob Zangardi gave the body-conforming outfit that Daniel Roseberry designed for life. Its shape was quite elongating, the hem flared dramatically, and the neckline was dizzying. J. Lo. accessorized with over a hundred carat diamonds from Tiffany Blue Book. These diamonds appeared as a butterfly-shaped necklace, a spectacular bracelet that complemented the necklace, and earrings.

Her lip glossed, her scarlet cheeks perfectly emphasized, and her eyeliner was brilliant. She was gorgeously made up. She finished her glowing appearance with a barely untidy updo for her hair. Jennifer Lopez has been a Met Gala regular since 2004; her ensemble this year really cemented her place in the fashion world.
- Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker looked stunning and whimsical in a Richard Quinn creation at the 2024 Met Gala. A nod to the “The Garden of Time” theme of the event, the dress had a Victorian-style caged design evoking a garden trellis with crystal floral decorations.
Her stockings and shoes matched the botanical patterns on her taupe flared gown, which dipped just beyond her knees. Her outfit was completed with the perfect accessories: a long pearl necklace, striking earrings, and several rings from Briony Raymond Jewelry. It gave her a traditional glitter.
Being one of the most well-known guests, Sarah Jessica Parker’s ensemble expertly matched her personal sense of style with the gala’s concept.
- Gigi Hadid
At the 2024 Met Gala, Gigi Hadid actually looked stunning in a Thom Browne dress. A beautiful work of art, the dress was paired with a gorgeously embroidered rose off-the-shoulder tuxedo jacket in white.
The gown was so wonderful that handling its amazing size and shape required five people. The full-length, black contrast hemmed, white gown had a corseted bodice that laced at the back and a sense of old Hollywood glitz.
The gown was embellished with embroidered yellow blossoms and sparkling beadwork that matched the theme of the gala rather well. Gigi accessorized her look with pearl drop earrings and a stunning diamond choker necklace. Her dress encapsulated the spirit of the gala, which had as its theme “The Garden of Time.”
- Sarah Paulson
In 2024, Sarah Paulson dazzled everyone at the Met Gala wearing a classic yet extravagant Prada gown. She decorated her exquisite pink sablé and black silk suit with flower inlays on the back, satin and voile bows, and small crystals.
Modeled for the Fall/Winter 2024 Prada line was her ensemble. A remarkable figure was created by the gown’s current interpretation of the old-world elegance. Full in the skirt, the dress was fitted in the bodice. Briony Raymond jewelry was among the accessories Sarah Paulson wore to add a further polished and sparkly touch to the ensemble. To highlight the little features of her gown, her hair was pulled up in a sleek updo and her makeup was maintained fresh and bright throughout.
Sarah Paulson’s presence at the event was a live demonstration of her unmatched taste and her continuous passion for Prada’s creations.
The Theme: A Garden in Time
A Garden in Time, the theme of the event, inspired many additional renditions. These readings ranged from more abstract representations of growth and beauty to actual floral arrangements. The “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibition subject of the Costume Institute was reflected in the celebrity attire. This topic made the blending of many historical styles with modern fashion quite evident.
Part of what will be remembered about the Met Gala 2024 is that it celebrated fashion as an expressive and artistic tool. Not only did celebrities that wore the newest fashions get attention, but they also sparked conversations on how many options and how fashion is always changing.
