Fashion took center stage at the 2024 Met Gala red carpet on the first Monday in May.

Hosted at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme for the Met Gala was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a dress code of “The Garden of Time” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s story of the same name.

Kim Kardashian dared to bare wearing a Maison Margiela Couture gown by John Galliano which featured a silver corset and a hand-wired skirt made with metal elements. She kept somewhat covered up underneath a gray cashmere cardigan.

Kendall Jenner rocked a ’99 Givenchy Haute Couture gown with delicate layers of black and nude tulle covering her body. A cut-out waist detail highlighted her supermodel frame, which had more than 100,000 beads and sequins embroidered onto the dress.
