The Met Gala, fashion’s most anticipated event, once again rolled out its red carpet, this time under the theme “Garden of Time,” in harmony with the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” spring exhibition. The evening was a spectacle of style and creativity, with celebrities interpreting the theme through their unique sartorial choices.
Zendaya, one of the evening’s co-chairs, captivated the audience with not one but three distinct ensembles, each more enchanting than the last. Meanwhile, Doja Cat surprised many by opting for a minimalist look, donning nothing more than a towel paired with a striking makeup look.
The British contingent shone particularly bright this year. Supermodel Naomi Campbell graced the event in a stunning blue gown that sparkled under the gala lights, while Cara Delevingne added a touch of brilliance to the red carpet with a dazzling headpiece.
Rita Ora, accompanied by her husband Taika Waititi, made a bold fashion statement, wearing an intricate arrangement of beads that tastefully covered her, complemented by a skin-toned leotard underneath. Her wet hair look and the significance of her attire, which featured beads handpicked from North Africa and Europe, embodied the timeless beauty celebrated by this year’s theme.
Other British favorites who turned heads included:
- Dua Lipa, who stunned in a low-cut mesh dress adorned with panels.
- Lily James, who chose elegance with a simple dress featuring a dramatically long train.
- Sienna Miller, who embraced boho chic in an all-white mesh-detailed gown.
- Keeley Hawes, who kept it classic in a black off-the-shoulder dress accented with pink flowers.
- Damson Idris, who looked dapper in a sleek black suit.
- Josh O’Connor, who added flair to his ensemble with subtle details.
