The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan.
It began in 1948 as a small, exclusive event but has grown into a globally recognized and highly anticipated celebration of fashion, often referred to as “fashion’s biggest night.”
Hosted at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s theme for the event was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
So who sparkled like a Sleeping Beauty on this night? Who left people wanting more? And who left a little or a lot to be desired? Let’s take a look.
Sydney Sweeney
Actress Sydney Sweeney stunned at the 2024 Met Gala with a dramatic transformation, channeling her inner Christina Ricci.
Sporting a jet-black bob wig and a blue strapless princess gown adorned with crystals and flowers, accessorized with black leather opera gloves, Sweeney showcased a fairytale-inspired look.

Jennifer Lopez
Jenny from the block made a glamorous entrance at the 2024 Met Gala, donning a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that was a nearly sheer ensemble.
Word is that Lopez’ dress took over 800 hours to hand embroider. The glamorous gown featured more than 2.5 million silver-foil bugle beads, paired with Tiffany & Co. jewelry and a clutch.
