Happy first Monday in May to all who celebrate! The 2024 Met Gala is officially here, which means it’s time to embrace your inner critic and get ready to enjoy fashion’s biggest night. While this year’s exhibit is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—which explores four centuries of archival pieces in innovative, multi-sensory formats—the theme of the gala itself is “The Garden of Time,” based on a short story by J.G. Ballard that explores humanity’s relationship to creation and destruction. We can only imagine all the magical ways that stars and designers will interpret this, and we’re sure to get at least a few history-making fashion and beauty looks on the Met steps tonight.
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 (will Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway, or Rihanna make appearances?), tonight will absolutely be one to remember.
Read on for all the must-see fashion moments from the 2024 Met Gala, from ethereal innovations to iconic archival pulls and everything in between.
