From the intricate crystal work to artful floral appliques, delve into the details of the stunning gowns of Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid, straight from the green carpet of Met Gala 2024.
The dress code for Met Gala 2024 is The Garden of Time, inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story, written in 1962. The story revolves around a crystal flower that has the power to reverse time. Keeping the theme Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion in mind, we were expecting flowers and sparkles on the green carpet, and of course, the Met queens Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid did not disappoint!
Jennifer Lopez glows in a sheer Schiaparelli gown dripping in crystals
Pop icon Jennifer Lopez, who is also hosting the Met Gala this year, walked the carpeted steps in a stunning sheer body-hugging gown that took about 800 hours to make. It is embellished with a whopping over 2 million bugle beads and silver pearls.
Designed by Daniel Roseberry, the custom Schiaparelli couture gown had a butterfly-inspired sculpted neckline and was draped, with a slit at the front with an illusion tulle, a fitting vision for this year’s garden theme. A crystallized train completed the look.
Donning sparkling diamond jewels, JLO had her hair done in a chic bun as the bronzed beauty glowed with her signature sultry eyes and nude lips.
