The buzzy annual event, which takes place every year on the first Monday in May, has long been heralded as fashion's biggest night and this year's red carpet definitely made the case for this distinction. With the "Garden of Time" as the gala's theme, itself inspired by the new Costume Institute exhibit, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," guests came attired in everything from floral ensembles to darkly romantic getups. **Read more:** [Everything You Need to Know About the 2024 Met Gala](https://time.com/6967029/met-gala-2024-theme-co-chairs/) There may be no better example of successfully interpreting the night's theme than actor and noted fashion icon [Zendaya](https://time.com/6970050/zendaya-red-carpet-2024/), a co-chair of the night's festivities, who arrived to the Met Gala red carpet, resplendent in a custom blue and green striped Margiela gown with a matching Philip Treacy fascinator punctuated with a sweeping feather that spoke to the night's theme perfectly. Her daring look, designed by Margiela creative director, John Galliano, was embellished with bunches of grapes, flowers and birds, a lush nod to the night's "Garden of Time" theme. Fellow co-chair Bad Bunny, who was also dressed by Margiela, took a more edgy conceptual approach to the night's suggested dress code, with a Steampunk-esque top-stitched navy suit with red accents, that he memorably accessorized with a matching statement hat, round sunglasses, and a bouquet of flowers made of the same fabric of his suit. Others took a more literal approach to the night's garden theme, like influencer Emma Chamberlain, who donned a gothic brown custom Jean Paul Gaultier corset whose lace detailing gave off a thorny effect and Gigi Hadid, whose corseted black and white Thom Browne gown boasted a sweeping train adorned with yellow roses. Here’s a look at the best (and most outrageous) looks from the Met Gala red carpet. ## Zendaya in custom Margiela and Philip Treacy  Zendaya Getty Images (3) ## Gigi Hadid in Thom Browne  Gigi Hadid Getty Images (3) ## Bad Bunny in Margiela  Bad Bunny Getty Images (3) ## Emma Chamberlain in custom Jean Paul Gaultier  Emma Chamberlain Getty Images (3) ## Ayo Edebiri in custom Loewe  Ayo Edebiri Getty Images (3) ## Rebecca Ferguson in Thom Browne  Rebecca Ferguson Getty Images (3) ## Cole Escola in Thom Browne  Cole Escola Getty Images (3) ## Sarah Jessica Parker in Richard Quinn  Sarah Jessica Parker Getty Images (3) ## Gwendolyn Christie in Margiela  Gwendolyn Christie Getty Images (3) ## Greta Lee in Loewe  Greta Lee Getty Images (3) ## Taylor Russell in Loewe  Taylor Russell Getty Images (3) ## Lana Del Rey in Alexander McQueen  Lana Del Rey Getty Images (3) ## Doja Cat in Vetements  Doja Cat Getty Images (3) ## Michelle Williams in Chanel  Michelle Williams Getty Images (3) ## Cardi B in Windowsen  Cardi B Getty Images (3) ## Hari Nef in H&M  Hari Nef Getty Images (3) ## Zendaya in Givenchy 1996 couture and Alexander McQueen 2007 headpiece  Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images; Theo Wargo—GA/The Hollywood Reporter/Getty Images Met Gala 2024: Best Red Carpet Moments ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/"},"headline":"The Best and Most Outrageous Fashion Moments of the 2024 Met Gala","datePublished":"2024-05-06T23:06:57.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-19T11:59:32.000Z","description":"Here’s a look at the best (and most outrageous) looks from the Met Gala red carpet.","url":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/","keywords":["fashion","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1fe7ad39547f52ea/698a567609208f2c7b41d1d0/met-gala-2024-round-up.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1fe7ad39547f52ea/698a567609208f2c7b41d1d0/met-gala-2024-round-up.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Met Gala Best Dressed / Round Up","caption":"","creditText":"Getty Images (7)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/fashion/","name":"fashion"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/","name":"The Best and Most Outrageous Fashion Moments of the 2024 Met Gala"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Best and Most Outrageous Fashion Moments of the 2024 Met Gala","description":"On Monday night, the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art were filled with celebrities, fashion insiders, and art lovers, who all donned spectacular looks for the 2024 Met Gala.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/VcF8iwJI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-05-07T01:16:21.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/VcF8iwJI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/","duration":"PT2M37S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/6970055/met-gala-red-carpet-2024/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
