16 Celebs Who Nailed the 2024 Met Gala Theme

For her first look of the night, Zendaya stunned in a Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano gown, complete with thoughtful little garden details. According to Margiela, Zendaya's dress “was inspired by the 1930s mythological works of the photographer Madame Yevonde and imbued with the memory of the orgiastic sceneries of the bacchanals of Ancient Greece.”

One look wasn't enough! Later in the evening, Zendaya changed into a stunning Givenchy gown with a billowing train and floral headpiece by McQueen. While this look was more literal and less profound, it was as impressive on the fashion side and definitely stuck to a more literal interpretation of “Graden of Time.”

Tyla nodded to the “time” element of the show with her Balmain gown, which was actually made from sand. (Get it? Sands of time?) Don't miss the hourglass bag!

The returning host donned a Jean Paul Gaultier gown meant to represent the fragility and darkness of nature, like a garden in winter.

Zendaya's fellow co-chair also wore Maison Margiela, nodding to Count Axel from the short story that inspired the dress code with his suit and hat. The sunglasses and oxford shoes were the perfect accessories.

Kendall Jenner dipped into the archives for her look, a '90s Givenchy with a super low back. We loved the half-up hairstyle, which felt like something a garden nymph might wear.

Kylie Jenner's pale pink Oscar de la Renta gown harkened back to the '50s and was inspired by the garden statues in the “Garden of Time” story. Peek her flower headpiece.

Wearing custom Alexander McQueen, Lana Del Rey was literally covered in branches — in the most couture way possible. Did you want a garden?

Rosalía called her custom Dior a “black tulip” and paired it with a netted Stephen Jones headpiece, adding a touch of goth to the garden. She was also inspired by the theme more than the dress code, saying that in order to become a “Sleeping Beauty,” one must see darkness first. Profound!

The musician leaned into the whimsy of it all with her fairytale look, including prosthetic elf ears. Did someone say fairycore?

Now, at first, it might be giving clowncore, but we could absolutely see the Challengers star at an aristocratic garden party gone wrong in this cheeky Loewe suit and floral shoes.

Entrepreneur Mona Patel stole the show in her fluttery custom Iris Van Herpen couture, complete with an armful of lifelike butterflies.

Gigi Hadid's Thom Browne gown was utterly spectacular, the kind of dress the Met Gala is made for.

Eiza González's delicate pink gown from Del Core looked both like a flower just beginning to blossom and a butterfly.

We love it when the guys have fun with their Met Gala looks — even if they ruffle some feathers. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but Barry Keoghan nailed it with his velvet suit, cravat, and top hat, leaning all the way into the theme.

Indian actor Alia Bhatt wore a stunning sari by Sabyasachi with a 23-foot train covered in flowers.

Loewe was the designer of the night, and The Bear star Edebiri looked picture-perfect in her custom gown, which erupted into a garden of blossoms.
