Everyone wore vintage couture, understated florals, and naked dresses. 450 of Hollywood A-listers, designers, & stylists arrived at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday for the biggest night in fashion, but only a few came as the best dressed. We had fun choosing our favorites (pretty sure they are yours too!) from the red carpet to the afterparties. So here’s our list of the best looks from the 2024 Met Gala (and how you can wear similar styles right now!). 1.
