Top 8 Most-on-Theme Met Gala Looks

The highly anticipated 2024 Met Gala took place on Monday, May 6, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, drawing a star-studded lineup of Hollywood’s elite to the event known as fashion’s biggest night.

This year’s event was overseen by co-chairs Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny, with Vogue’s Anna Wintour continuing her leadership role at the Costume Institute benefit.

The theme for this year’s gala was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a dress code inspired by “The Garden of Time.” The associated Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exhibit celebrated the intricate relationship between fashion, nature, and emotional poetics, resulting in striking displays of moody floral ensembles on the red carpet.

Notable attendees included Met Gala regulars like the Kardashian-Jenner family, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, and Lizzo, as well as fresh faces among the crowd.

Here are the most-on-theme Met Gala Looks

Lana Del Rey in Vintage Alexander McQueen

Lana Del Rey took the spotlight at the 2024 Met Gala with a look that was a standout choice. Though unconventional and not typically beautiful, her outfit was a clear nod to the theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Del Rey’s ensemble combined theatrical elements and a touch of drama, making it look like a piece meant for a museum. Her bold choice highlighted her ability to bring high fashion to life on the red carpet.

Zendaya in Maison Margiela Artisanal

Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach delivered a standout look at the 2024 Met Gala. They captured the event’s dual themes of gardens, sleeping beauties, and lost time with precision.

Their outfit had a timeless and whimsical feel, blending dark elegance with a touch of fabulousness.

Zendaya in Givenchy Couture Archival

The queen of the red carpet did not disappoint with just one jaw-dropping look at the 2024 Met Gala. Her highly dramatic ensemble would be a career high for most, but for her, it was only the second-best look of the night.

Cardi B in Giambattista Valli

The rapper made a grand entrance as one of the last to arrive on the red carpet at the 2024 Met Gala. Her layered, billowing gown made the wait worthwhile, eliciting a collective gasp from the Cut Style team.

Gigi Hadid in Thom Browne

Gigi Hadid’s look was one of our favorites at the 2024 Met Gala. It hit all the marks for a perfect Met Gala outfit: on theme, fashion-forward, striking on the red carpet, and still flattering and true to Hadid’s personal style. Kudos to Gigi and designer Thom Browne!

Anok Yai in Swarovski

The supermodel made a dazzling entrance on the red carpet in an ombré catsuit adorned with tens of thousands of Swarovski crystals.

The exhibition features several structural floral dresses, including this vibrant one from Marni. We love its bright colors and how Nicki Minaj styled the look.
