The first Monday in May has come around quickly, and you know what that means: It’s fashion’s biggest night, the 2024 Met Gala. Given that this year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with the dress code set to be “The Garden of Time”, we can surmise that what many guests wear will come down to florals, garden fauna and plenty of archival, time-worn pieces.
With an iconic lineup of co-chairs – Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth, to be exact – plus countless other celebrities certain to show up, this year’s Met Gala will absolutely be one to remember.
Either way, we’re excited to see how designers and creatives reinterpret the theme for the night. Ahead, take a look at all the best-dressed looks from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.
