Met Gala 2024 live: Zendaya and Lana Del Rey dazzle on red carpet while Kim Kardashian’s corset is questioned

Fashion ’s most-anticipated red carpet event of 2024 has officially wrapped.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is filled this evening by beloved musicians, transformative artists, emblem designers, famed actors, and celebrity influencers to celebrate The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” . The co-chairs for the evening include Zendaya , Chris Hemsworth , Jennifer Lopez , and Bad Bunny , while Vogue ’s red-carpet hosts will be La La Anthony, Gwendoline Christie , and Ashley Graham , alongside special correspondent Emma Chamberlai n .

This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” – which is not a reference the Disney fairytale. Inside the exhibit, 250 pieces from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection will be showcased, some dating back to the Elizabethan period. The idea is to reimagine fragile designs that can never be worn again in new ways through CGI, light projections, soundscaping, and video animation.

Guests followed a dress code of “The Garden of Time,” a nod to JG Ballard’s 1962 tale. The story details Count Axel, his Countess, and their dwindling garden as an angry mob descends on their peaceful home and nursery of crystalline flowers.

Along with all four co-chairs and the event’s organiser Anna Wintour, Kendall Jenner , Uma Thurman , Cara Delevingne , Taylor Russell, Sam Smith, Queen Latifah, and many more arrived at tonight’s Met Gala.

The broadcast of the 2024 Met Gala red carpet began at 6pm ET, with the event streaming on Vogue ’s TikTok and YouTube account until 8.30pm, at which point it ended abruptly as guests continued to arrive .
