Tatler’s picks of the best dressed men at the 2024 Met Gala

The 2024 Met Gala saw a host of striking looks—and not just among the women.

The theme at this year’s event, The Garden of Time—inspired by the 1962 short story of the same name by JG Ballard—encouraged guests to experiment with florals, science fiction and retro styles. The male celebrities’ ensembles featured suave silhouettes, whimsical fabrics and underscored the power of accessorising.

From Barry Keoghan’s take on 19th century dressing, created by Burberry, to Troye Sivan’s reimagined Prada look, here are Tatler’s picks of the best menswear looks on the Met Gala red carpet.
