All the Showstopping Looks From the 2024 Met Gala for Your Scrolling Pleasure

While the first Monday in May doesn't mean much to the average person, it means everything to fashion-obsessed civilians who know the difference between blue and cerulean. Translation: the Met Gala/Fashion Super Bowl is officially here, and it's time to sit on the couch in our leggings and watch a bunch of A-listers make their way up the Metropolitan Museum of Art's infamous steps in New York City. At this point, we're willing to petition for the Met Gala to be considered a nationally-observed holiday... @ whoever makes those decisions, please consider!

Over the years, our favorite celebs have made their mark at the coveted event with unforgettable looks that stand the test of time. Case in point: Lady Gaga's 4-part extravaganza with Brandon Maxwell in 2019, Rihanna's legendary Guo Pei look in 2015, and... literally every single look Zendaya and Law Roach have curated for the ball. And whether the stars follow through with the theme (or not), you have to admit the Met Steps have seen some of the most iconic moments in pop culture (ahem, cheeseburger Katy Perry, for one).

This year's theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—though its dress code is actually “The Garden of Time”—, which has sparked a new wave of inspiration for veterans and first-time attendees alike (still need a TL;DR on theme vs. dress code? We've got you covered right this way). While these looks are something out of a fairytale, it's best to see them for yourself in pictures. Scroll through for all the 2024 Met Gala's stunning fashion.
