10 Black Celebrities Who Stunned with Their Outfits at the Met Gala

Celebrities showcased their best fairy tale fashion at the 2024 Met Gala, embracing the theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the dress code “The Garden of Time.” Zendaya, Colman Domingo, Donald Glover, Lil Nas X, and Ayo Edebiri were among the stars who turned heads on the red carpet.

While the theme offers a broad range of possibilities, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” encourages attendees to bring their most daring fairy tale-inspired looks. The Met Gala red carpet is known for its bold and imaginative fashion, pushing the boundaries of creativity.

The event serves as a fundraiser for The Costume Institute and a showcase for the museum’s latest exhibit. Co-chairs for the evening included Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez.

The iconic Met Gala staircase often challenges stars wearing elaborate ensembles, but they navigate it with finesse. For the more impractical outfits, a pop-up changing room just inside the entrance helps guests adjust before enjoying their meals.

Additionally, guests are prohibited from taking selfies or videos inside the event, a rule strictly enforced by Anna Wintour. The Met Gala remains a mystery to most, as it’s one of the most exclusive events in the world. Nevertheless, audiences can experience the spectacle through their favourite stars’ stunning fashion moments.
