Let’s begin by checking out the chic looks of this year’s event hosts!
Zendaya
Zendaya, one of the event hosts, rocked a fierce look with bold eyeliner and a breathtaking outfit. Clad in a sleek blue lamé and organza dress, accentuated by a duchess satin corset, it was a design by John Galliano. The gown was truly a work of art. It showcased clusters of grapes, a large ruffle and a whimsical blue hummingbird on the shoulder. Stunning doesn’t even begin to cover it! Moreover, her accessories were on point with her dress. An emerald ring and matching emerald and diamond earrings.
Zendaya then made a stylish wardrobe switch. She wore a black Givenchy gown paired with a statement-making floral Alexander McQueen hat. Talk about her fashion game being strong!
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez, another host of the fashion’s biggest event, stunned everyone with her bold look! Lopez strutted onto the Met Gala carpet in a show-stopping Custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown made by the one and only Daniel Roseberry.
She rocked a sheath dress, adorned with silver pearls and rhinestones. But that wasn’t the highlight of her dress. It was the whopping 2.5 million silver foil bugles and beads! She completed her look with gorgeous jewelry pieces from Tiffany & Co.
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny is known for his interesting and bold fashion choices. As one of the hosts of the 2024 Met Gala, the expectation was high for a show-stopping look. And boy, he did not disappoint!
He pulled off his custom ensemble from the Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection by John Galliano. His outfit featured a black satin corset and a navy barathea wool smoking jacket embellished with black grosgrain lapels.
Chris Hemsworth
Our beloved Thor actor was another host of this year’s Met Gala. He looked dashing as ever, wearing a sleek off-white Tom Ford Suit. His beautiful wife, Elsa Pataky, was seen accompanying him on the red carpet.
Pataky was serving up some serious modern Rapunzel vibes! Bubble ponytail, gilded headpiece, long-sleeved gold turtleneck dress and padlock sandals. Talk about a fairytale fashion moment!
Let’s take a look at the other celebs who made heads turn on the Met Gala carpet.
Doja Cat
Doja Cat is no stranger to turning heads with her bold fashion choices. Who could forget her dazzling and feline-inspired look at the Met Gala 2023? This year, she opted for a more casual yet statement-making ensemble. She stepped on the red carpet in a drenched white Vetements t-shirt dress. Some may say it was a simple look, but Doja had other plans.
She basically turned the Met Gala into the “Wet Gala” with her drippin’ entrance. Pun intended. One internet user even joked about her looking like one of those modern-day fountain statues. Now that I think of it, I can’t help but see the resemblance!
Emma Chamberlain
Chamberlain rocked a killer custom Jean Paul Gaultier outfit. It boasted corsetry, lace-up details and a sheer, floor-length train. And let’s not forget her bling! Her diamond necklace and matching earrings from Cartier completed her look.
Lea Michele
Lea Michele looked like a ray of sunshine with her smiley face. That’s probably because she’s got a little one of the way! The actress rocked her baby bump in her beautiful turquoise Rodarte gown. She gracefully embodied the “Garden of Time” theme with a white floral strap and a tulle shawl.
Ed Sheeran
The Shape of You singer sported a light-blue suit that reminds you of the pastel and clear blue sky. He paired the suit with a dazzling rhinestone-covered matching open bow tie.
Tyla
The Been Thinking singer made her grand entrance on the Met Gala carpet covered in sand. Her custom-made Balmain dress was a beautiful homage to “the sands of time.” To complete her look, she rocked some stunning accessories. It included yellow gold earrings featuring aquamarine, yellow diamond, and blue topaz, a timeless gold necklace and two yellow gold pave rings.
Gigi Hadid
No one does it like Gigi when it comes to iconic Met Gala carpet moments. I mean, remember her unforgettable Gothic look from Met Gala 2023? It lives in my head rent-free. And, she’s done it again this year, arriving in style dressed in Thom Browne! She rocked a full-length off-shoulder white gown with a black contrast hem. It also featured a few floral details in yellow and green. And let’s not forget the dazzling yellow and white diamond jewels from Chopard! The perfect cherry on top of her fabulous outfit!
Cardi B
Did you see Cardi B slaying at the Met Gala 2024 in her jaw-dropping black ball gown? And the towering black turban was extra just like her! Oh, and those emerald and diamond jewels? I couldn’t take my eyes off them.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa didn’t hesitate to serve us a bold and gorgeous fashion moment at the Met Gala event this year! She wore a custom Marc Jacobs outfit and pulled off the boudoir look. Her killer black lace outfit with corset and sheer details definitely made heads turn.
Not to forget her bling game was on point! She sported dazzling diamond pieces from Tiffany & Co. A show-stopping necklace, gorgeous earrings and sparkling rings.

Karlie knew what she was doing when she stepped on the Met Gala carpet! The supermodel made quite the entrance wearing a Barbie pink gown adorned with floral decorations. To top off her fabulous look, she accessorized with dazzling Swarovski jewels.

Kendall rocked a never-before-worn creation from Alexander McQueen’s 1999 couture collection for Givenchy. With a plunging neckline, fringe shoulder accents and a sheer waistline, she left jaws on the floor.

Anok Yak
If I had to describe Anok Yak’s 2024 Met Gala look in one word, ethereal would fit the description perfectly. The supermodel looked amazing in a full-body crystal jumpsuit designed by Swarovski.
