The annual Met Gala brings together an incredible crowd of fashion designers, models, and the brightest stars of music and film. This year, the focus was on the Costume Institute's new exhibit, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." The exhibit explores the experience of wearing clothes and how it connects to our senses and memories.

The 2024 Met Gala red carpet co-chairs, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, all fashion icons, set the tone for the evening with their stunning looks.

This year's dress code, "The Garden of Time," inspired a wide variety of interpretations, resulting in a red carpet filled with surprising and delightful creations. Relive the magic by revisiting the Met Gala livestream.
