These are Tatler's picks of the best-dressed celebrities at the 2024 Met Gala
The red carpet at the 2024 Met Gala overflowed with exciting, elegant ensembles.
This year’s theme, The Garden of Time—inspired by the 1962 short story written by American author JG Ballard—encouraged guests to experiment, whether more literally with flower- and plant-forward pieces, or broadly to take inspiration from science fiction and retro styles. Celebrities pushed the boundaries of fashion through creative applications of fabric, striking silhouettes and bold accessories to up the ante.
These are Tatler’s picks for the best celebrity looks on the red carpet, from Zendaya’s vintage Givenchy dress to Blackpink Jennie’s look.
