Once again, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City hosted the Met Gala, the most anticipated event in the fashion world. On the first Monday of May (early Tuesday in India), stars, designers, and fashion enthusiasts gathered to experience what is known as ‘fashion’s biggest night.’
The theme for this year’s gala was ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ inviting attendees to explore a world where the past meets the present. Guests were asked to interpret the theme with a dress code of ‘The Garden of Time,’ embodying the beauty of nature and reflecting on the evolution of fashion.
The Met Gala carpet underwent a stunning transformation, turning into a lush garden paradise. The cream-colored steps, blending into a soft green ombre, welcomed guests into this enchanting setting. The walls and inside of the tent were also carefully designed to immerse attendees in the theme.
Press walls adorned with greenery and flowers provided a picturesque backdrop, while inside the tent, larger-than-life images of leafy trees created a serene garden atmosphere.
This year’s focus on reviving unique garments from different centuries offered a new perspective on fashion, celebrating pieces that are often considered too delicate to wear – the ‘sleeping beauties’ of fashion.
The Costume Institute’s exhibition, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,’ showcased iconic designs spanning over 400 years, honoring legendary designers like Elsa Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, and Hubert de Givenchy.
Leading the evening were co-chairs Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny, who embodied elegance and sophistication at the gala.
As the night progressed, celebrities showcased a variety of stunning ensembles, each interpreting the theme in their unique way. From intricate floral patterns to timeless silhouettes, the red carpet was a showcase of creativity and style.
