Celebrities, glamour, and eccentricities are on display on the red carpet of the famous Met Gala, which takes place this evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year’s hosts are Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth. The 2024 event celebrates the Costume Institute’s new exhibition: Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion has the official dress code “the garden of time”, hence the presence of many floral and botanical looks. Here are the stars who made us say “Wow!”
