Met Gala 2024 Red Carpet: See All the Fashion, Outfits & Looks

There are countless reasons why the Met Gala 2024, the annual invitation-only fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, is an unparalleled showcase of red-carpet fashion. Perhaps it’s because on the first Monday in May, the Met Gala 2024, which is famously referred to as fashion’s biggest night, begins on the museum’s storied staircase, its red carpet stretching across the stone stairs, transforming the landmark location into a photo opportunity unlike any other.

Before guests are guided through a sea of photographers to the inside of the beloved New York City institution for the ultraexclusive event, they’re instructed to adhere to a dress code, giving attendees and their stylists the opportunity to bring their creative visions to life on the Met Gala red carpet. In celebration of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the Met Gala 2024’s theme is “The Garden of Time.” Borrowed from a 1962 short story of the same name by English writer J.G. Ballard, the concept is sure to inspire Met Gala 2024 guests and onlookers alike, conjuring thoughts of the four elements, lush nature scenes, ticking grandfather clocks, garlands of ivy, and colorful florals in full bloom.

If years past are any indication, among the first to arrive on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet are usually the event’s hosts and cochairs. While watching Vogue’s Met Gala 2024 live coverage, keep an eye out for Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny, who will join Anna Wintour as cochairs of the Met Gala 2024, while Shou Chew, chief executive officer of TikTok, and Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Loewe, will serve as honorary chairs.

Below, see all of the fashion, outfits, and looks that make the Met Gala 2024 red carpet the place to make fashion history.
