The Met Gala 2024 has already received all its guests. The most important night of fashion is celebrated like every year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the heart of Manhattan; and which on this occasion officially presents the exhibition Sleeping Beauties: the awakening of fashion. A theme that plays with sustainability and the ability of tools such as technology to bring fashion back to life.
Guests had to adhere to the dress code set for the occasion, which this year was inspired by the short story The Garden of Time written by J.G. Ballard in 1962. Some more than others have managed to triumph on the green carpet, in an event that has left, as it could not be otherwise, some moments to remember.
The singer is more than used to leaving attendees speechless wherever she goes – you just have to remember her cat style at the 2023 Met Gala honoring Karl Lagerfeld and Choupette – but her interpretation of this year’s dress code was much more there.
The singer turned Sleeping Beauties into a wet T-shirt contest, which she discovered after appearing with a towel as a dress and some sheets. Everything, seasoned with a few chrome-colored tears.
If this edition of the gala was characterized by something, it was by its absences. Big names were missing from the green carpet steps and, although many made excuses, many fans were terribly disappointed. Blake Lively, Rihanna, Jared Leto, Hailey and Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Olivia Rodrigo, Pedro Pascal, Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart, Salma Hayek, Olivia Wilde, Florence Pugh, Kate Moss or Margot Robbie, just to name a few .
Actor Michael Shannon took a bag of chips as an accessory to the Gala. A snack? No, in reality it was a shiny calfskin bag signed by Balenciaga and whose price exceeds 1,700 euros. If he brought chips to spend the night inside, only the actor knows.
The Grammy winner, who was attending the Met Gala for the first time, came in a stunning hand-sewn Balmain dress that looked spectacular in the images. Of course, nothing practical, because the South African singer required four assistants to be able to climb the endless staircase to the MET.
Don’t you have a moment to do things? Get it from wherever. At least, that’s what rapper Cardi B must have thought, as she not only blocked the entrance to the event with her voluminous black tulle dress – which had to be replaced by a dozen people – but also dedicated herself to charging her cell phone while The attendees of the event tried to get her out of trouble.
The designer Tommy Hilfiger changed his usual models this year for other unexpected ones: the South Korean K-pop band Stray Kids, signed as the image of his brand. It was the first time that the group made an appearance at the gala, but they probably did not expect that the veteran designer would reveal live and direct a secret that they had been trying to keep for months: announcing to their fans that they would have up to 40 dates on their next tour. worldwide, not yet revealed. The faces of the young people, a whole poem.
They have been together since December 2023, although neither of them had confirmed their romance. However, an occasion like the Met Gala deserved it, so singer Sabrina Carpenter and Irish actor Barry Keoghan did not hesitate to make their relationship official by posing happy and in love.
Every Met Gala has its pregnancy announcement, and this year it couldn’t be any different. It must be said that many expected that Hailey and Justin Bieber would be the ones to star in that moment on the green carpet, since according to rumors they were expecting their first child together, but they did not attend the Gala. On this occasion, it was supermodel Adwoa Aboah who made her special announcement, “integrating” her maternity curves into a peculiar H design.
