On the first Monday in May, the fashion world's glitterati graced the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (NYC) for the annual Met Gala, supporting the museum's Costume Institute. The 2024 theme, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ celebrated the evolution of style and the understated intricacies of fashion through the ages.

This year's event, themed after J.G. Ballard's 1962 story ‘The Garden of Time,’ invited attendees to explore the intersections of time and beauty. The theme was vividly embodied in the night's dress code, urging the stars to don attire that mirrored the ethereal and timeless qualities of a garden suspended in time.

The gala was co-chaired by notable figures including Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, each bringing their unique flair to the event. The evening saw a parade of fashion-forward celebrities, each interpreting the theme through their distinctive styles.

Cardi B turned heads in a billowing Giambattista Valli gown, which captured the audience with its layered elegance. Lana Del Rey opted for a custom Alexander McQueen piece, enhancing her look with tree branches that added a touch of whimsy and danger. Gigi Hadid was a vision in Thom Browne, perfectly aligning with the event's theme while maintaining her own style.

Jennifer Lopez shone in a custom Schiaparelli haute couture gown that highlighted her glamour with modern twists. Naomi Campbell chose a custom Burberry dress in the perfect shade of baby blue, accented with shimmering fringe. Zendaya wore a sculptural tulle gown by Maison Margiela, complete with a feather fascinator.

The evening also saw Penelope Cruz in a gothic Chanel outfit, while Kendall Jenner paid homage to a classic Alexander McQueen design. Kylie Jenner opted for a more classic Hollywood look by Oscar de la Renta, and Kim Kardashian surprised many by layering a Maison Margiela outfit with a simple grey sweater. Dua Lipa embraced a rock ‘n’ roll persona in a daring ensemble by Marc Jacobs.

The event was also graced by Indian stars who brought their cultural heritage to the fore. Alia Bhatt dazzled in a floral Sabyasachi saree, marking her second appearance at the gala. Isha Ambani was styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania in a Rahul Mishra couture saree gown that represented the event's theme, featuring a long floral train and crafted with techniques from Indian artisans. Natasha Poonawalla wore a striking Maison Margiela piece that blended traditional and avant-garde elements.
