And so the wait is over for the 2024 Met Gala. This year's Super Bowl of Fashion was themed "Sleeping Beauties: Fashion's Awakening" by the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute, The dress code for the red carpet was "The Garden of Time. As expected, the stylish affair was quickly filled with an array of unforgettable fashion moments, including Zendaya's two-for-two ensemble and Tyra's first appearance in a (literal) sand gown.

After raising money for the Costume Institute and enjoying a surprise performance by Ariana Grande, attendees gathered from the museum to the after-party, where they changed their elaborate gowns into bolder ones. What was true all night at events as varied as Usher's "Secret Garden" party, FKA Twigs' "Boom Met Gala" party, and Cardi B's "Revolve" performance: afterparties were where the stars took fashion It was a place to take risks.

Dodja Cat changed out of her towel and wet T-shirt and attended the party in a completely transparent, naked dress. Lana Del Rey said "yes to heaven" in a gorgeous, ethereal veil. And Kendall Jenner was in a heavenly white outfit, including vintage Givenchy and custom Vivienne Westwood.
