Met Gala 2024: All the wildest looks

A-listers including Em Rata, Rita Ora, J Lo and Zendaya have flaunted spectacular creations for today’s Met Gala in New York.

Wildest celebrity looks at Met Gala 2024 red carpet

The 2024 Met Gala has come to a close for another year, with Hollywood royalty dazzling on the famed steps at fashion’s night of nights in New York.

This year’s official dress code was “The Garden of Time,” which celebrates the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Inspired by J.G. Ballard’s short story of the same title, The Garden of Time is one of the more open-ended themes we’ve seen from the Gala in recent years.

This year’s Met hosts included an Aussie in their mix: Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and none other than Australian action man Chris Hemsworth.

But the most daring look of the day went to supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, who left little to the imagination:

This year, a ticket to the Gala cost an eye-watering $75,000, with tables starting at $350,000.

Last year’s Gala, which celebrated the late Karl Lagerfeld, raised a record sum of almost $22 million.

There was a minor controversy before the Gala was even underway: A male model claimed he was fired from working at this year’s event after “outshining” Kylie Jenner at last year’s ceremony.

Model Eugenio Casnighi has claimed on social media he has been let go as a greeter for today’s event because he went viral at last year’s Met Gala, his eye-catching good looks pulling focus in the background of many a celebrity photo.
