Victoria Beckham Reveals Phoebe Dynevor's 2024 Met Gala Gown Featured More Than 300 Hand-Sewn Lace Flowers

Beckham designed the 'Bridgerton' actress' intricate pink lace dress she wore to the annual fashion event

A lot of work went into Phoebe Dynevor's intricate Met Gala look.

On Monday, May 6, Dynevor, 29, walked the famous steps at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in a custom Victoria Beckham dress, making her the first person to attend the annual fashion event in a design by the 50-year-old.

This year's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and Beckham definitely managed to capture that with the Bridgerton actress' stunning pink lace gown featuring hand-cut flowers and a long train.

The Spice Girls star revealed more about creating the look on Instagram, sharing several photos of Dynevor, 29, posing for photographers.

"In a nod to this year’s ‘Sleeping Beauties’ theme, the ethereal silhouette was hand-crafted from archival lace, and embellished with over 300 lace appliqué flowers, hand-cut and hand-sewn onto a tulle base," Beckham captioned the post, adding the hashtag, "#VBMetGala."

She also shared a clip and some more snaps of Dynevor attending the star-studded event on her Instagram Stories.

This year's dress code was "The Garden of Time," inspired by a short story by JG Ballard. “It’s like something out of a fairytale,” Dynevor told Vogue of the dress. “It has this beautiful train with flowers going all the way up it … It’s very ethereal.”

“I’m very excited to be wearing color! It’s definitely new for me,” she added.

“10-year-old me could never have seen this coming,” Dynevor, whose first ever concert was the Spice Girls, told the outlet ahead of wearing the VB gown.

While speaking to Vogue, Beckham shared, “We decided to use vintage lace from our archives, as there was something quite romantic about reviving it and bringing it back to life — much like a sleeping beauty."

“[Phoebe is] such a beautiful, talented young woman and I really wanted to design the gown with her in mind — to be almost like an extension of her. We even hand-dyed the flowers to match her skin,” she continued.

Dynevor made her Met Gala debut back in 2022 wearing a black lace Louis Vuitton gown, with the star telling Vogue she wasn't as nervous to be attending fashion's biggest night this time around.

“The funny thing about going for the first time is you just have no idea what to expect,” Dynevor told the outlet. “There’s so much going on, and you’re seeing all these [famous] people walking in and wanting to stare at them instead."
