The 2024 Met Gala red carpet: all the best looks and outfits

At this year's Met Gala, the theme was "Garden of Time" — at least one star has walked the carpet twice, two have dressed like trees, and another sent sand cascading down the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s iconic steps.

Welcome to The Australian's coverage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit.

At this year’s Met Gala, always held on the first Monday in May, Australian star Chris Hemsworth will co-chair the party alongside actors Zendaya, musicians Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, welcoming A-listers to the museum for the exhibition “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

According to an announcement from the museum, the exhibition will feature 250 pieces from the archives of the Costume Institute deemed “sleeping beauties,” that is, pieces that are too fragile to ever be worn again.
