Our Favorite Style Moments from the 2024 Met Gala
From Zendaya to Tyla and Emma Chamberlain, eight looks that defined fashion’s biggest night.
The Met Gala, an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute in New York that brings together the worlds of fashion, art, and entertainment, dazzled yet again with its daring and innovative sartorial choices. From the latest haute couture to archival avant-garde interpretations of this year’s dress code which is “The Garden of Time”, each ensemble on the green-white-green carpet was a testament to creativity and imagination. Celebrities and designers alike seized the opportunity to showcase their unique styles, pushing the boundaries of conventional fashion and leaving a lasting impression on audiences of the iconic event. Dear readers, grab your hats and join us as we give our review of the best style moments from fashion’s biggest night.
We’re starting off with Zendaya’s second look which we didn’t know we needed but we were so glad to see. She is wearing a black Givenchy by John Galliano S/S 1996 Couture which included a corseted lace-up bodice with long, puffy off-the-shoulder sleeves and a structured peplum hemline, as well as a ginormous skirt that nearly engulfed the length of the Met’s staircase. A flower bouquet hat from the Alexander McQueen S/S 2007 collection by Philip Treacy completed the look. As usual, the look was styled by Law Roach who with Zendaya, make a powerful duo in the fashion world.
Next we have Mona Patel, an Indian fashion entrepreneur and philanthropist who wowed the viewers with her custom Iris Van Herpen dress complete with gold accents and kinetic parts which moved while she walked the Met stairs. She looked ethereal and congratulations to her team for achieving this stunning look.
Third on our list is Tyla. The South African singer attended her first Met Gala this year and already marked her place as an icon of the fashion industry. She’s wearing a custom Balmain dress inspired by the sands of time complete with an hourglass showing how the sands pass in time. The beauty of this look lies in its details; the hourglass, the sand on the arms and shoulders, the gold necklace. Tyla and the Balmain team deserve their accolades and we can’t wait to see what she will do next year.
Fourth on our list is Lena Mahfouf, a French YouTuber and author who caught our attention with her spectacular dress from Schiaparelli. The fashion house prides itself in its opulent renditions of gold on black fabric and this dress is no exception. Lena’s dress consists of a bustier made of gold flowers and a black skirt made of black silk taffeta.
Another style moment we loved was from Alia Bhatt, a British-Indian actress who got one of the loudest cheers from the Met carpet as she stunned in a floral saree. The breathtaking look was designed by Sabyasachi and was a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary flair. The actress shared her admiration for the craftsmanship behind her ensemble, highlighting its symbolic nod to the theme.
Next is Colman Domingo who is wearing Willy Chavarria. Colman has been serving looks recently and we’re glad he didn’t disappoint for the Met Gala. His white suit jacket-cape comes with a black floral detailing on the left lapel, black satin baggy pants and completed with a small bouquet of white calla lilies.
Following is Sabrina Harrison who took the theme quite literally and we’re not mad at all. She’s wearing a gold dress embroidered with clocks and is inspired by the surrealist art style of Salvador Dali in his painting The Persistence of Memory. The dress is completed with a headpiece resembling a clock and jewelry from Bulgari.
Last but not the least is Emma Chamberlain. Emma is wearing a custom dress from Jean Paul Gaultier fall 2003 couture and her early attendance gave us a glimpse of what the night was to bring. Her incredible look was completed with a matching diamond necklace and earrings.
