The 2024 Met Gala took place tonight (Monday, May 6) and that means it’s time to take a look at the best looks of the night. As usual, celebrities took liberties when it came to following the theme of the year “Garden of Time,” but there were many showstopping outfits tonight.

The event, which is held with the purpose of raising funds for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is considered the “Oscars of Fashion.” This year’s theme was related to the museum’s exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story “The Garden of Time.”

According to Vogue, the collection celebrates “clothing and fashion so fragile that it can’t ever be worn again.” Meanwhile, Ballard’s story themes are related to time, nature, decay and, even, revolution. In that sense, many celebrities took the “garden” very literally (most wearing florals, and so) while others tried to explore the idea of time and other forms of nature.

Emma Chamberlain attended the Met Ball in customized Jean Paul Gaultier. “The theme is the garden of time, which is [the title] of a short story. This is sort of a fantasy, enchanted-like theme. It’s fun to do a dark twist on it; the underbelly of nature,” she explained in a post.

Zendaya

One of the most anticipated gowns of the night. Zendaya, also a co-chair, returned to the Met Ball after five years of absence, and boy, she didn’t disappoint. She wore a gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano paying tribute to a vintage Christian Dior spring 1999 haute couture look.

If her first look was already impressive, Zendaya shut down the red carpet with a second look: a never-worn archival look by John Galliano for Givenchy. The collection debuted the year she was born.

The singer, who was one of the co-chairs, arrived wearing a Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection by John Galliano. He was on theme with the bouquet, made up of the Flor de Maga (the national flower of his native Puerto Rico), as well as a rose (a nod to the Sleeping Beauty’s original fairytale?)

Tyla

Tyla wore a Balmain design, which was made out of sand and was molded to Tyla’s body. Olivier Rousteing, creative director of the brand, explained that the idea behind this is that you can only wear a sleeping beauty once and then put her to rest forever.

Elle Fanning

Mona Patel is an entrepeneur and philantropist that took everyone by surprise at the Met Gala. “I wanted my debut look to be something that celebrates my heritage and also combines my love couture, and when I heard of the theme, Iris Van Herpen seemed like the obvious choice,” Patel told the Vogue India team in March.

Rebecca Ferguson

The actress Rebecca Ferguson wore a custom Thom Browne look, which, according to Vogue, took 8,500 hours to make with 60,000 crystals and 7,000 folded petal raffia and raw raffia frayed ravens. Thanks to the ravens in the gown, you can definitely see the theme of decay.
