Celebrities brought their A-game to this year’s Met Gala, with standout looks like Zendaya’s dark blue gown adorned with grape clusters and Lana Del Rey’s dramatic headpiece featuring tree branches. The event, themed ‘Garden of Time’, saw stars walking a lush green and white carpet surrounded by foliage and flowers.
Zendaya, one of the event’s hosts, stunned in a blue lamé and organza dress designed by John Galliano, with grape clusters adorning her outfit. She later changed into a black Givenchy gown and a floral Alexander McQueen hat. Lana Del Rey turned heads in a beige Alexander McQueen gown and a headpiece with natural hawthorn branches draped in sheer tulle.
The gala, a high-profile annual event, serves as a fundraiser for the New York museum and marks the opening of its Costume Institute’s fashion exhibit. This year’s exhibit, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” will feature rare items from the Costume Institute’s collection, displayed through animation and projections.
Among the attendees were Jennifer Lopez in a beaded Schiaparelli gown, Rita Ora in a colorful beaded ensemble, and Queen Latifah in a black dress with orange bird of paradise accents. Ariana Grande dazzled in an ivory gown, while Lil Nas X wore a suit and jacket adorned with Swarovski crystals.
Indian celebrities Alia Bhatt and Isha Ambani showcased Indian couture at the gala. Bhatt wore a mint green Sabyasachi sari with real gems and a 23-foot-long train, while Ambani donned a couture sari gown by Rahul Mishra with intricate hand embroidery.
Outside the event, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered nearby, chanting slogans as Rafah got heavily bombarded by Israeli sources.
Despite heavy police presence, the protest continued through New York’s Upper East Side.
