The Met Gala on May 6, 2024 proved to be an extraordinary event in every respect, marking a turning point in the panorama of fashion and glamour. The event, hosted by icons Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny, saw the usual parade of celebrities through the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but with a visibly different atmosphere compared to years past.
This year, “The Garden of Time” theme inspired a return to a more measured and refined elegance, in stark contrast to the bolder, more theatrical performances of previous years. The dress code embraced delicacy and sophistication, in line with the exhibition title "Sleeping Beauties - Reawakening Fashion", offering a vision of fashion as an art form that celebrates timeless beauty and the rebirth of style.
