When Anna Wintour gives her unofficial approval to wear florals for spring, A-list celebrity stylists listen. On the Met Gala red carpet 2024, stars like Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid and Emma Chamberlain wore floral couture in keeping with the evening’s dress code, “Garden of Time.”
This year’s soirée, co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth, celebrates The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” honouring exceptionally rare and delicate garments — the “sleeping beauties” of the Costume Institute’s collection, as it were. According to Vogue, approximately 250 pieces spanning over a 400-year history — including at least 15 archival items deemed too fragile ever to be worn again — will be displayed during the exhibit’s run from May 10 to September 2, 2024.
Inspired by the concept of time, the 2024 Met Gala dress code “Garden of Time” was open to much interpretation, but unsurprisingly, floral fashion moments and botanical beauty looks bloomed all over the red carpet.
