The 17 Best-Dressed Celebrities at the 2024 Met Gala
Fashion’s biggest night has officially arrived. The Met Gala, a.k.a. the annual event that celebrates the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, typically boasts some of the best looks of the year. This time around, the dress code is “The Garden of Time,” which relates to the featured exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” It’s a stiff competition just to get invited, let alone cut through the noise and be crowned a best-dressed guest. Here, see how newcomer Taylor Russell and repeat visitors like Gigi Hadid showed how florals for spring can actually be groundbreaking—on a green carpet, no less. Scroll through to see our 17 favorite looks.
Taylor Russell in Loewe
Best of the night. No notes.
Kylie Jenner in Oscar de la Renta
Kylie embodies vintage glamour so well, and this ODLR stunner, accompanied by Sergio Rossi shoes, is fit to perfection.
Tyla in Balmain
From her sand-filled hourglass accessory to getting carried up the Met stairs, Tyla and her gold-dusted gown stole the spotlight.
Venus Williams in Marc Jacobs
Venus is channeling Diana Ross by way of the designer’s latest collection, proving that fashion is both cyclical and timeless.
Nicole Kidman in custom Balenciaga
The queen of the silver screen and our April cover star channels old Hollywood, in the best possible way.
Kim Kardashian in Maison Margiela Artisanal
Taking cues from John Galliano’s breathtaking couture show in January, Kardashian’s ensemble is all glamour (and barely any waist).
Lana Del Rey in custom Alexander McQueen
Leave it to Lana Del Rey to be the tree, a.k.a. the acting centerpiece of “The Garden of Time,” dreamed up by newly-minted Alexander McQueen creative director Seán McGirr.
Gigi Hadid in Thom Browne
Vintage hair and makeup and a timeless silhouette equals a Met Gala fever dream starring Gigi Hadid, decked out in Chopard jewelry.

Colman Domingo in Willy Chavarria
The king of style has not missed once this year, and this caped tuxedo is certainly no exception.
Greta Lee in Loewe
We love a high risk, high reward beauty switch-up for a big event. The combination of a blunt, choppy bop and simple makeup perfectly complements this transparent look. Loewe won tonight.
Elle Fanning in Balmain
Is it a dress? Is it a water fountain? Who knows—this glassy dress is a work of art.
Emma Chamberlain in Jean Paul Gaultier
A fashion darling who continues to outdo herself, even at the Met—this time in JPG with Cartier jewelry.
Bad Bunny in Maison Margiela Artisanal
The co-chair makes his mark in this vintage-inspired look.
Alia Bhatt in Sabyasachi
The detail on this sari alone is museum-quality.
Cardi B in Windowsen
The rapper shut down the carpet (before Zendaya reappeared, that is) in a voluminous black gown.
Zendaya in Givenchy spring/summer 1996 haute couture
For her second look of the evening, Zendaya wore a corset-style top and a bouquet of flowers as a headpiece, further proving that her and stylist Law Roach simply don’t miss.
