Alright, let’s talk about the Met Gala 2024. What a night, right? I spent the whole day glued to my screen, watching all the coverage. I started by reading everything I could find about this year’s theme. “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with a dress code of “The Garden of Time.” Sounded pretty interesting, so I was excited to see how everyone would interpret it.

Then I looked up who was hosting. Anna Wintour, obviously, but also Bad Bunny, Zendaya, *, and Chris Hemsworth. A good mix, I thought.
Naturally, I was most excited to see what Karlie Kloss would wear. I have been tracking her outfits for a while now. I still remember her fantastic dresses from previous years, so I was eager to see what she would come up with this time. I spent hours looking for any sneak peeks or hints about her outfit. Finally, the big moment arrived, and there she was. She walked in, and I saw her stunning pink gown.
- I immediately started digging for details. Who designed it? What was the inspiration?
- Turns out, it was a custom Swarovski gown. They worked with Karlie for this, and the dress was all about nature, fitting the theme perfectly.
- I read that the dress had over 180,000 rose crystals, all put together by seven people. Can you believe it took them 225 hours to make? That’s some serious dedication.
I also saw that Swarovski teamed up with Imaan Hammam and Anok Yai, too. They all wore custom gowns inspired by nature, which was cool. But honestly, Karlie’s dress was the one that really caught my eye. I spent the rest of the evening watching interviews and reading articles about the look. Even found a quick chat she had with Erin Lim Rhodes, talking about the outfit. It was great to hear her perspective on it.
All in all, it was a fun day diving into the fashion of the Met Gala. Seeing all the creativity and hard work that goes into these outfits is always a blast. Karlie’s look, in particular, was a highlight for me. It was just so detailed and beautiful, and it really brought the theme to life. Can’t wait to see what she wears next year!
