Karol G exuded fairy-like charm with elf ears, Rosalía embodied ultimate elegance in Dior, and Bad Bunny captured whimsy with his goat-like shoes. Monday's (May 6) 2024 Met Gala was a visual feast, and Latin music stars came out in force at one of the most anticipated fashion events of the year.
Other Latin music stars at the Met Gala included Shakira, who turned heads in a strapless red Carolina Herrera gown with a dramatic cape. Rauw Alejandro opted for a shimmering metallic shirt teamed with a silky white blazer, adding a touch of sleek elegance. Omar Apollo stood out in a sharply tailored black suit from Loewe, the epitome of vintage chic.
Met Gala co-chair Jennifer Lopez made her appearance in a semi-sheer beige Schiaparelli gown, complemented by a loose top knot, combining classic beauty with modern style. Cardi B wowed onlookers as she arrived in a breathtaking black mermaid gown, her voluptuous figure sweeping around her in a dramatic circle – requiring 10 men in tuxedos to step into place – and teamed with a stunning beehive updo. Meanwhile, Camila Cabello channeled elegance in a split bronze dress completed by a blonde ponytail.
This year's Met Gala exhibit theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” is set to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute's permanent collection. Works will be exhibited at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in new ways, including elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more.
The dress code, meanwhile, is “The Garden of Time.” As Andrew Bolton, chief curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said Fashion“It's very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion.”
