Celebrities turned heads as they arrived in stunning wardrobe pieces to the 2024 Met Gala on Monday evening (May 6). The annual Costume Institute fundraise was hosted at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Glamorous looks were inspired by this year’s “The Garden of Time” dress code, and theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the title of the Costume Institute’s new exhibit. The exhibit includes hundreds of rare items — including many that have seldom been viewed by the public — spanning more than 400 years of history, according to a recent report by Vogue. Some of the celebs attending this year’s event include hosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, plus Madonna, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Kelsea Ballerini and many others.

The Costume Institute’s Spring 2024 exhibit was revealed in late 2023. Max Hollein of The Met said at that time, per Vogue: “The Met’s innovative spring 2024 Costume Institute exhibition will push the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to experience the multisensory facets of a garment. …‘Sleeping Beauties’ will heighten our engagement with these masterpieces of fashion by evoking how they feel, move, sound, smell, and interact when being worn, ultimately offering a deeper appreciation of the integrity, beauty, and artistic brilliance of the works on display.”

Take a look at some of the dazzling, attention-catching looks on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet below.
