Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.
This year’s Met Gala theme would not have impressed The Devil Wears Prada’s demon magazine editor Miranda Priestly, but it hasn’t stopped a string of stars from walking the green carpet in their garden-inspired garments.
A-listers were invited to be imaginative with the 2024 dress code, The Garden of Time, which was inspired by a short story of the same name by JG Ballard.
Most stars took it literally, taking inspiration from flowers, petals, branches and leaves, while others played around with the short story’s themes of time and history.
Here are the most eye-catching outfits:
Camila Cabello badly needs a pair of gloves
Normally when stars talk about wearing ice, they’re referring to diamonds. In Camila Cabello’s case, however, she’s referring to actual frozen water.
We’ve got to hand it to her, Demi Moore had one of the best looks of the night, even if she forgot to bring a bow to go with her arrows.
The actress’s velvet dress, designed by Harris Reed, was adorned with huge pink peonies made from vintage archival wallpaper.
Lana Del Rey branched out
Singer Lana Del Rey had not attended the Met Gala since 2018, so decided she needed to give her fashion sense a root and branch overhaul.
She wore a corseted dress in silk, double georgette and tulle.
Lea Michele was in full bloom
A glowing Lea Michele walked the carpet wearing a Rodarte turqoise gown with a tulle cape, two months after announcing she was pregnant for the second time.
The Glee star and her husband Zandy Reich, who have a three-year-old son, Ever Leo, said they were “overjoyed” to be expecting again.
Nicki Minaj may need watering
If you ever need someone to bring you flowers in the pouring rain, Nicki Minaj has got you covered.
The singer’s yellow Marni mini-dress was adorned with 3D metal flowers in varying shapes and sizes – one of the most colourful and committed looks of the night.
Bad Bunny brought a bouquet
Did Bad Bunny look as if he had yanked his suit jacket out of the sewing machine before the tailor had actually finished making it? Yes. But he still looked great.
Seyfried went silver
A large roll of non-stick tinfoil couldn’t hold a candle to Mamma Mia actress Amanda Seyfried. Who wore a shiny metallic gown featuring flower appliques.
Lil Nas X nailed it
The singer and rapper wore a white suit by Luar. Which featured asymmetrical panels of sparkly silver sequined fabric, and curved lines of buttons.
Rebecca Ferguson was feeling peckish
Why dress to look like flowers and trees, when you could pay tribute to the birds who fly among them?
Looking just as ready for the Met Gala as she is to do the washing up.
Sydney Sweeney dazzled in a powder blue Miu Miu gown with black flower stems.
The Euphoria star ditched her traditional blonde hair in favour of black, handily colour coordinating with her latex gloves.
Alia Bhatt is making a mark at the Met Gala year after year; the actress made her second-ever Met Gala appearance at the 2024 ball today in New York and turned heads with her stunning look!
