Our favourite day in May has finally arrived. The 2024 Met Gala has officially come and gone, and the red carpet was full of dazzling fashion moments and eye-catching beauty looks. From big names in entertainment to the most influential social media stars, Anna Wintour has once again brought together the cream of the crop to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
While you may think that the exhibits within the museum are the main attractions, the real stars of the night are the Met Gala 2024 red carpet attendees. The world’s eyes were on the celebrities and invitees to bring the theme of this year — The Garden of Time — to life. But the best looks didn’t just stop at head-turning outfits. The beauty and glam helped tell the story.
We’ve seen it in the past, of course. Zendaya’s electric blue shadow and sleek up-do helped create a Cinderella story for the 2019 “Camp: Notes On Fashion” Met Gala. In 2022, Blake Lively’s loose, flowing waves and bronzy contour helped her steal the show in her regal for the “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme. At the end of the day, making history on the Met Gala red carpet comes down to the details.
This year, celebrities and crowds of onlookers gathered in front of the Met on Monday, May 6 in New York City. For Australian viewers, that meant need to tuning into the Vogue livestream from 8am AEST on Tuesday, May 7. Who brought the best beauty looks to the Met Gala 2024 red carpet?
Ahead, we’ve rounded up the celebrity beauty moments from the 2024 Met Gala that shouldn’t be missed. From dazzling co-chair glam to intriguing hairstyles, here’s who brought their A-game.
