Our showbiz version of the World Cup has arrived – we are, of course, talking about the Met Gala.
The annual Vogue extravaganza is pretty much a fashion playground, with tradition flying out of the window as some of the biggest stars don their most elaborate finery to celebrate the museum’s Costume Institute.
For 2024, the title of the new exhibition is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, referencing how the exhibition finds unique ways to showcase clothing that has been declared too fragile to ever be worn again.
Meanwhile, the dress code for the night is The Garden of Time in a nod to the beauty of nature and garments.
As social media users sat back and happily critiqued this year’s looks, all eyes were firmly on Zendaya as the movie star queen rocked up in Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano.
Serving peacock realness, the Challengers actress was sstyled by her long-time friend and collaborator, Law Roach.
Earliest arrivals this year included the likes of co-chair Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, as well as Emma Chamberlain, Bad Bunny, Gwendoline Christie, and the woman herself, Anna Wintour.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew and Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson are serving as honorary co-chairs.
Speaking ahead of the big night, Anna told Today that ‘the idea of Sleeping Beauties is taking these masterpieces from different periods.’
‘And because so many of them are very fragile, and have to be laid flat, they can’t even be displayed on a mannequin or in any other way,’ she said.
‘They are laid flat, behind a glass wall, and around them are the inspirations that are muses, as (curator Andrew Bolton) calls them.’
