Met Gala 2024 looks we love and love to hate

The Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is arguably fashion’s biggest night of the year. Held on the first Monday of May, the event is attended by singers, actors, models, athletes and artists all adorned in garments from the world’s foremost designers.

The Met’s exhibit for the year is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion an exploration of how technology can breathe new life into worn and fragile items. Ascending the steps of the New York institution, attendees respond to The Garden of Time dress code, inspired by the J.G. Ballard story of the same name.

The story of super-rich elites hiding from an impending riot of the lower class guests were invited to dress in a way to reference mortality destruction and clothes so fragile they can never be worn again. Here are our top picks for those who got it right and those who got it oh so wrong.

Love, love, love
