RED CARPET REPORT: MET GALA EDITION

By Style Feed Staff, 6 May 2024

When it comes to red carpets, the Met Gala is the final boss. Every year on the first Monday in May (of course), the tippity-top of the A-list descend upon New York's Upper East Side for a swanky soirée benefitting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. For 2024, the theme is The Garden of Time (inspired by JG Ballard's 1962 novel of the same name) and toasts the new 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' exhibition. The vibes of the evening? Florals, archival pieces and jaw-dropping looks we can't stop swooning over (from the comfort of our beds). Keep reading to see who stole the show...

DONALD GLOVER IN SAINT LAURENT

Oversized and vintage-inspired slouchy silhouettes reign supreme in the menswear world, and Donald nailed the assignment.

BARRY KEOGHAN IN BURBERRY

The dress code called for a retro, garden-adjacent aesthetic and the Saltburn star's velvet jacket, waistcoat and trousers combo was a win.

OMAR APOLLO IN LOEWE

With floral embellishments on the lapel and a subtle sequin situation, we won't forget Omar's first Met.

JOSH O'CONNOR IN LOEWE

Taking a break from tenniscore, the Challengers sensation channeled a true English countryside icon. Do we all need floral gardening clogs? Probably...

ALTON MASON IN THOM BROWNE

Alton is known for pulling a sleek red carpet stunt, and this suit left us feeling the need for tweed. After all, its classic nature is totally on theme.

CHRIS HEMSWORTH IN TOM FORD

While the quintessential superhero wasn't exactly giving garden, this beige three-piece suit instantly offered a dose of wedding season inspiration.

LIL NAS X IN LUAR

At this point, Lil Nas X's Met Gala looks are *legendary*. This time around, his 'fit was inspired by 'blooming silhouettes' and boasted 50,000 Swarovski crystals.

BAD BUNNY IN MAISON MARGIELA

As one of the night's co-chairs, Bad Bunny delivered in an avant garde, storybook-themed ensemble. His best accessory? The national flower of Puerto Rico (known as a Flor de Maga), which represents resilience.
