Embracing the theme of the evening, celebrities sparked a brilliant fashion display at the 2024 Met Gala. The ever-stylish Zendaya, who most recently wowed audiences in “Dune 2” and “Challengers,” co-chaired this year’s event, which honoured the artistic beauty of the natural world. On the Met Gala stage, Zendaya did not hold back. She is never the one to disappoint.
Zendaya showed up in a jaw-dropping John Galliano design, true to her role as co-chair. The design, which took its cue from a 1999 Dior gown, was an amazing blend of royal blue and emerald, green, with details that resembled a fruit tree in full bloom. The theme of the evening was well embodied by the rich colors and detailed embellishments. Still, Zendaya wasn’t done. A few hours later, the style icon unexpectedly made a surprise return to the red carpet, her appearance completely changed. She looked brand-new this time, leaving the audience wanting more. Although specifics regarding her second costume are still unknown, it was undoubtedly another work of art in fashion.
Gigi Hadid is another guest that consistently steals the show at the Met Gala. The supermodel graced the red carpet this year wearing a gorgeous Thom Browne gown, living up to her reputation. The outfit was white and flowy, with a striking design of yellow roses that were painstakingly made out of 2.8 million microbeads. The elaborate beadwork, together with a red lip and a wavy bob haircut, cemented Hadid’s position as a major player in the fashion industry.
Beyond Zendaya and Hadid, the evening celebrated several ways that the theme was interpreted. Sarah Jessica Parker, a seasoned Met Gala participant renowned for her dedication to the yearly theme, embraced Alice in Wonderland in a fanciful lavender Richard Quinn dress, accessorizing it with a Philip Treacy headpiece. Wearing a handmade Gucci gown with flowing green feathers that evoked images of a tropical paradise, Jennifer Lopez stole the show.
The males also arrived dressed to impress. Co-chair Timothée Chalamet, an actor, looked dashing in a Haider Ackermann outfit that included a sleek black suit and a flowing white cloak. Meanwhile, pushing the limits of menswear, rapper Bad Bunny chose a custom Burberry suit with a spectacular train.
It was a night of celebration and charity, not to mention the amazing costumes at the 2024 Met Gala. The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is the beneficiary of the event’s proceeds, as always. The subject for this year may have seemed whimsical, but it was a subliminal reminder of the precarious equilibrium that exists between land and people.
Focusing on the artistic qualities of nature, the 2024 Met Gala gave celebrities a forum to discuss environmental awareness while also showcasing their own particular styles. The night’s festivities featured mesmerizing attire, delightful surprises, and a revitalized respect for the beauty of nature, with Zendaya and Gigi Hadid spearheading the effort.
