10 Themed Looks from the 2024 Met Gala

Every year, stars adorn themselves in diamonds and elaborate outfits to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York, but not everyone manages to stay on theme.

The annual event is a fundraiser for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrating the opening of the spring exhibition. This year it is ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’.

Anna Wintour, former editor-in-chief of Vogue, who chaired the gala, called the overarching theme ‘The Garden of Time’, drawing inspiration from JG Ballard’s short story of the same name.

While floral patterns dominated the red carpet Monday night, when it came to jewelry, emerald, platinum and bird motifs were everywhere.

Here are 10 themed looks from the 2024 Met Gala, in no particular order.

Zendaya’s first look

The ‘Challengers’ actress and Bulgari ambassador embraced the garden theme and paired her outfit with high jewelry from the brand.

Zendaya wore earrings with two oval emeralds and pear-shaped diamonds set in rose gold and a pair of cushion-cut emerald studs set in yellow gold.

On her hand she wore a ring with a 9.29-carat cabochon-cut emerald surrounded by 24 buff-top emeralds and pavé diamonds.

As one of the co-chairs of the event, it only makes sense that Zendaya had more than one outfit. Her second look embodied the darkness of sleeping beauties.

She wore it with a pair of Bulgari earrings set with two pear-shaped diamonds and a ring with an emerald-shaped diamond set in platinum.
