The 2024 Met Gala has arrived, attracting some of the biggest stars who have turned up in their best looks to celebrate the annual event. Hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the event is always held on the first Monday of May and attended by numerous A-list celebrities, including Zendaya, Blake Lively, and the Kardashian-Jenner family, among others, who gather for fashion’s biggest night.
This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” pays homage to fashion history. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition theme, curated and organized by The Costume Institute, features 250 items from its permanent collection displayed in a new, innovative way.
On the evening of May 7, 2024, the event saw the arrival of some of the hottest stars in the industry making their grand appearances on the red carpet. Sydney Sweeney surprised everyone by debuting a dark, shorter hairdo inspired, possibly, by Snow White. She donned a stunning powder blue gown adorned with dark flowers and leaf embellishments, making her one of the standout looks of the evening.
Rihanna, known for her iconic appearances at the Met Gala, was notably absent due to being sick with the flu. Despite the disappointment, fans eagerly wait to see what gown she would have graced the red carpet with.
Cardi B made a grand entrance, stealing the spotlight as usual, in a glamorous ensemble that showcased her incomparable style and glam.
Demi Lovato made a stylish comeback after an eight-year absence, rocking a chrome gown by Prabal Gurung with metallic flower embellishments and diamond jewelry. Demi, who had previously expressed her dislike for the Met Gala, seemed to be giving the event one more chance with her glamorous appearance.
Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian posed together exuding a mystical and ethereal aura, seemingly coming out of a fantasy novel brought to life.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union charmed everyone with their delightful presence, showcasing the true meaning of couple goals at the Met Gala.
The evening also witnessed stunning looks from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, and more, who embraced the theme in their unique and captivating ensembles.

As the event progressed, the common elements of the night’s fashion choices, including flowers, fairytale references, and sparkles, continued to set the tone for the glamorous affair.
The Met Gala, often referred to as fashion’s biggest night, is an exclusive event that raises funds for the Met’s Costume Institute, with last year’s gala raising a reported $22 million for the cause.
