What Fashion It-Girls Wore At The 2024 Met Gala

What Fashion It-Girls Wore At The 2024 Met Gala

The first Monday in May drew attendees from all corners of entertainment, business, and culture, but most notably major fashion it-girls. Seeing them at a movie premiere, on the runway, on social media, or on a stage serve as the quintessential places for fashion it-girls to showcase their sense of style. And the Met Gala has only reinforced their mainstay positions in the fashion world, as fashion’s it-girls did not come to play this year.

Zendaya – Maison Margiela by John Galliano

2024 Met Gala co-chair, Zendaya extended her reign as one of the event’s highly anticipated attendees on Monday evening with not one but two looks. The first was a custom gown by Maison Margiela for John Galliano, which was inspired by a look from Christian Dior haute couture Spring/Summer 1999. Styled by Law Roach, the look was completed with a headpiece by Philip Treacy and makeup by the legendary Dame Pat McGrath. Zendaya’s second look more than continued these theatrics, with a period Givenchy couture gown by John Galliano from 1996 and another Philip Treacy headpiece from Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2007.

Taylor Russell – Loewe

Taylor Russell officially made her Met Gala debut Monday evening and it is one her best looks yet. The custom Loewe gown by Jonathan Andersen features a trompe l’oeil corset bodice, which was 3D moulded to fit her body and printed with the wood pattern visible around her waist and neck. Russell’s high-neck corset was meant to resemble marquetry wood and was paired with a white thigh-high slit skirt with a draped waist. Loewe has had a longstanding relationship with Russell at this point, as she has been viewed as Andersen’s muse and even opened the Spring/Summer 2023 show for the brand.

Tyla – Balmain

Tyla’s inaugural appearance at the Met Gala was quite a sight to behold, as the singer-songwriter wore a custom Balmain gown designed by Olivier Rousteing. An unanticipated interpretation of the “Garden of Time” dress code, Tyla’s look features a gown sculpted with sand and exquisite craftsmanship. The look is inspired by the “Sands of Time,” styled with a Balmain hourglass clutch. Rousteing’s unequivocal ability to bridge the gap between innovative art and fashion is what brings this look to life.

Amelia Gray Hamlin – Jun Takahashi

Amelia Gray lit up the Met Gala carpet during her debut, in more ways than one, wearing a light-up, terrarium dress by Jun Takahashi from the Spring/Summer 2024 show. The dress is made with sheer fabric so as to get a glimpse of the rose bundles and the butterflies encased in the structure of the garment. Jun Takahashi’s piece epitomizes the red carpet theme “Garden of Time” with such an innovative, groundbreaking piece – another of which is part of the exhibit and was featured on promotional posters.

Emma Chamberlain – Jean Paul Gaultier

Emma Chamberlain has been a mainstay on the Met Gala stairs as a news correspondent for Vogue’s livestream, but her look this year was quite the head turner. The influencer arrived wearing a custom Jean Paul Gaultier archival couture gown from 2003, in a rather edgy spin on the night’s theme and dress code. Chamberlain undoubtedly understood the assignment in a look reminiscent of poison ivy with woodland influences. An almost gothic-like essence can be derived here, but more importantly signifies what it truly means to successfully revitalize an archival piece and give it a new life.
