  • Celebrities attended the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" Met Gala on Monday.

  • The "Garden of Time" dress code inspired many floral and Earth-inspired looks.

  • Cardi B, Lana Del Rey, and Colman Domingo were among the best-dressed of the night.


The 2024 Met Gala was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Monday.


The annual fundraising event, which is held in celebration of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is one of the most exclusive events of the year.


The gala draws attendees from across industries, from tech to Hollywood. Invitees are hand-selected by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, and this year, tickets cost $75,000 each. Vogue reported that last year's event raised a record-setting $22 million for the Costume Institute.


The Met Gala's theme changes each year, and celebrities from Zendaya to Lana Del Rey embraced the "Garden of Time" dress code at this year's event.


Here were the best-dressed celebrities at the 2024 Met Gala.




Jennifer Lopez's silver Schiaparelli gown embraced the dress code with sparkly, floral appliqués.

The form-fitting dress was sheer apart from the sparkle detailing, which looked like branches on the strapless bodice.


A delicate train added glamour to the bold ensemble, which Lopez paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.





Tyla's form-fitting gown, which was made from sand, was one of the most talked about of the night.

Balmain designed Tyla's one-of-a-kind gown, which showed her entire silhouette.


It had a curved, strapless neckline and a full train, and she carried an hourglass purse with it.





Colman Domingo's black-and-white look from Willy Chavarria featured a cape.

Black ruffles that looked like flowers sat on one lapel, and a cape was attached to his jacket. Domingo also carried lilies with him as he walked the carpet





Ayo Edebiri's halter gown captured the dress code perfectly with its ombre floral pattern.

The Loewe dress' white bodice flowed into bright colors, almost as if the flowers were blooming, and strips of floral-embellished fabric flowed over the open back.




Eddie Redmayne's illusion ensemble popped at the Met Gala.

The actor's Steve O Smith look consisted of a blazer and skirt. Both were made of black and sheer fabric, making it seem as if pieces of the suit were missing.


An underlayer of tulle sat beneath the skirt, which looked like pants from a distance.





Elle Fanning's see-through gown was actually made of glass.

Balmain designed the artistic piece with off-the-shoulder straps that looked like they were being carried by glass birds.


It also had a bodice that looked as though it wrapped around her torso and a floor-length skirt that flowed into a tulle train.


She completed the look with a blonde bob and diamond jewelry.





Lana Del Rey looked as though she stepped out of a fairytale.

Alexander McQueen custom-made the musician's gown, which was tan and decorated with brown branches.


Twigs extended above her head and held a draped piece of tan tulle in place like a veil.


Del Rey also wore a rose-shaped bracelet around her wrist.





Cardi B's black ball gown took over the entire carpet.

It took at least eight men to help Cardi B spread the round train of her dress around her and carry it up the Metropolitan Museum steps.


Her gown, which also had a form-fitting bodice and ruffled off-the-shoulder sleeves, matched her sky-high hairstyle.





Mindy Kaling's gown was more like an art piece.

It also had a sweetheart neckline that gave the garment some glamour, and Kaling completed the look with diamond jewelry.

Thom Browne designed her white gown, which had off-the-shoulder straps and a ruffled, floor-length skirt. Yellow roses contrasted with the dark color of the skirt's black lining.


Hadid completed the look with red lipstick and a curled bob.





Demi Moore brought some dramatic flair to the Met Gala steps.

Moore's black and pink column gown was designed by Harris Reed and made entirely out of vintage archival wallpaper, the designer told Ashley Graham on the Met Gala red carpet.


"It's 11,000 hours of silk embroidery that we've repurposed into this idea of her blooming on the carpet," Graham said. "I wanted to be the vines to her thorns."


Moore said the dress, which featured a heart-shaped shoulder piece with spikes along the edges, wasn't heavy and made her "want to rumba."





Phoebe Dynevor looked pretty in pink with her sheer gown.

Dynevor swapped her "Bridgerton" blue for an ultra-feminine Victoria Beckham gown. She is the first person to wear the designer to the Met, according to Vogue.


The pink gown was almost entirely sheer, save for some strategically placed floral appliqués.





Zendaya walked the Met Gala steps twice. Her second look was even better than her first.

At the end of the night, Zendaya walked the red carpet in a dramatic black gown with a long, flowing train.


She purchased the 1996 Givenchy haute couture dress, which was designed by John Galliano, from the LILY et Cie — the vintage Beverly Hills boutique owned by Rita Watnick.





Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger and Tommy Hilfiger were the epitome of fashion royalty.

He looked great, but his wife and fellow designer Dee looked even better. She wore a tan, floral-print gown with a sleeveless bodice, plunging V-neckline, and a hooded cape.





Fashion designer Harris Reed wore a statement jumpsuit and matching hat.

The top of his outfit extended past his shoulders almost like leaves, and fabric wrapped around his hips gave the garment dimension and texture.


Not only was the printed outfit eye-catching on the red carpet, but it also looked like an art piece, especially when paired with its matching hat.





Keke Palmer had one of the best fashion moments of her career.
