The Best Dressed Stars From the 2024 Met Gala

Every year, the Met Gala red carpet produces some of the most memorable celebrity fashion moments of all time. Tonight’s affair in New York City—themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—was certainly no different, with a bevy of A-listers hitting the red carpet in custom creations. The night’s very best dressed attendees were those who paid homage to this year’s theme (and “the garden of time” dress code)—doing so in both thoughtful and unexpected ways.

Of course, all of the official 2024 Met Gala co-hosts made the best dressed list. Zendaya turned heads in not one but two striking looks—including her custom Margiela look, and a vintage Givenchy dress from the house’s spring 1996 collection. Jennifer Lopez opted for a sparkling Schiaparelli number; while Bad Bunny wore a sculptural Margiela suit and Chris Hemsworth a sleek Tom Ford one.

Florals, unsurprisingly, proved to be the breakout look of the night. Celebrities transformed into high-fashion bouquets in a variety of ways. There was Nicki Minaj in a Marni dress covered in hand-painted metal flowers, and Gigi Hadid in a Thom Browne three-dimensional floral ballgown. Adwoah Aboah, meanwhile, had the night’s best maternity moment—in a red floral H&M look that included a crop top and full skirt.

Some of the night’s more unexpected—and way more avant-garde—moments shined, too, proving that the best dressed celebrities of the nights didn’t have to be in florals. Lana Del Rey, for one, brought forward the drama in a veiled Alexander McQueen look with an antlered headpiece; it was a thoughtful homage to the late designer’s iconic fall 2006 collection. Tyla also transformed herself into a sand sculpture—via an extremely-fitted Balmain gown that was like a second skin.

As for some of the best dressed men of the night? Well-clad gents like Josh O’Connor (in Loewe), Morgan Spector (in Willy Chaverria), and Stefon Diggs (in H&M) shined in tailoring that was contemporary and dapper.
