Here we list the show-stopping breathtaking outfits of the evening.
Show-stopping nearly-naked outfits highlighted Met Gala 2024
The Met Gala is celebrated for its mesmerizing red-carpet couture that challenges norms. This year's arrivals were no exception, with numerous outfits designed to intrigue, enthrall, and reveal a hint of skin. Dua Lipa wore a layered Marc Jacobs outfit that conveyed "undone undressing" despite its complexity. Phoebe Dynevor's custom Victoria Beckham outfit epitomized ethereal sheerness with romantic floral lingerie and petal pasties. Ora's vibrantly beaded Marni ensemble was among the most colorful and revealing outfits of the evening.
Illusion mesh and minimalist fashion
British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs showcased a Stella McCartney outfit that highlighted the power of illusion mesh matching her skin tone flawlessly. Elle Fanning embraced minimalist fashion-from her icy figurines on her gown to her sleek translucent sandals. Doja Cat's Vetements outfit stood out with a long T-shirt dress that captured the magic of drapery held in place only by artistically placed hands. Chamberlin sported a lacy Jean Paul Gaultier outfit, while Greta Lee's angelic Loewe gown was airy yet structural.
Isn't it a breathtaking view?
Vintage and underwater inspirations at Met Gala
Emily Ratajkowski opted for vintage in an Atelier Versace gown from the Fall/Winter 2001 Haute Couture collection. Daddario chose sheer floral lace with a burnished gold approach and a nude bodysuit for subtle coverage. Met Gala co-chair Lopez donned a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that seemed to take inspiration from an underwater garden, echoing coral in its whimsical design. Tyla—known for her daring fashion choices—wore a Balmain gown that was "literally" conjured from the sand.
What was the theme again?
The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has opted for a less controversial theme this year following the homage to Karl Lagerfeld in 2023. Their latest exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," delves into forgotten and delicate garments, featuring modern creations by designers like Phillip Lim and Stella McCartney alongside archival pieces from iconic names such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Yves Saint Laurent, and Christian Dior. The dress code, distinct from the exhibition's theme, centered on "The Garden of Time."
