2024 Met Gala Red Carpet Fashion Review & Analysis

The 2024 Met Gala took place last night, on Monday, May 6, in New York City at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It celebrated the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The official dress code was “The Garden of Time.” The exhibit will feature approximately 250 rare items drawn from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection. Spanning over 400 years of fashion history, the pieces will include designs by Schiaparelli, Dior, Givenchy, and more. Some garments that are too fragile to ever be worn again-such as a Charles Frederick Worth ball gown from 1877-will also be displayed via video animation, light projection, AI, CGI, and other forms of sensory stimulation.
This year’s 2024 Met Gala dress code was “The Garden of Time.” Inspired by J.G. Ballard's short story of the same title, written in 1962, it was interpreted in a myriad of ways. We certainly saw many a floral and botanical looks grace the famed Met Gala red carpet.
Today I talk about looks from Tyla (wearing Balmain by Olivier Rousteing), Bad Bunny (wearing Maison Margiela by John Galliano), Gwendoline Christie (wearing Maison Margiela by John Galliano), Zendaya (Wearing Maison Margiela & Givenchy by John Galliano), Jennifer Lopez (wearing Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry), Anna Wintour (Wearing Loewe by J.W Anderson), Emma Chamberlain (wearing Jean Paul Gaultier) & Ben Simmons (wearing Thom Browne).

[@Gian_Valkiri]

Olivier had a interview yesterday talking about his face sand sculpture and talked about the fragility of the fabric and Tyla fabric, he said "is possible that the dress become unweareable after leave the body" so is even more tied up with sleeping beauty theme

[@FashionRoadman]

This is very interesting!

[@alysap3833]

"Florals....in spring....groundbreaking" 😭

[@discocarol3348]

Hourglass for Tyla!!! *Chefs kiss* her style team nailed it!!!! I mean she has an hourglass figure so all the metaphors are there… beautifully done!

[@mikaylasmith7600]

I did like Lana Del Rey's look at first, I recognized it the moment I saw it. However, seeing the recreation and reinterpreted piece next to a photo of the actual McQueen Widows of Culloden piece made me...sad, for lack of a better word. It could have been so much better, and I feel like that's a summary of how Seán McGirr's time at McQueen has been.

[@youwomanyou]

I didn’t know it was a remake…but when I saw the original picture and Lana’s something was incredibly underwhelming and I didn’t understand why…it’s because it was a reinterpretation. And then Sean was there by her side…embarrassing lol

[@barbar4t178]

i think it might be a reference to the original tale of sleeping beauty. In the story she pricks her finger with a needle and falls asleep for 100 years. Thorny twines grow all around the castle making it impossible to enter and a lot of princes that want to find the beautiful princess die. After exactly 100 years another prince tried and finally got through and reawakened her with a kiss

[@nonameface90]

I was all in for Tyla's look. Not boring, actually digging deeper into the theme (unlike 99% of attendees...) and feeling somewhat cohesive to her style and personality imho. As for Zendaya...I think Margiela look was perfect for the occasion AND for her. It had just right amount of pizzas, volume, reference and styling to stand out, but not feel outlandish for me. The second look could feel like miss because for me the volume overwhelmed the statue and there was no strong counterpoint on the top (face, make-up) aside of that headpiece to balance the overwhelming sea of black. Shall the giant skirt had more dimension to be reflected on photos, it could register better I think. My biggest question was: who exactly chose Chris Hemsworth was co-chair..? His look was a no-look, referencing more of wannabe playboy for 80s than anything vaguely connected with the actual theme, his wife's look was underwhelming...

[@edannerowe-taylor3152]

I really wanted more wood looks and of florals in spring how groundbreaking 😭

[@ulrikamalone8046]

I was disappointed with many of the guests, I felt that many played it safe, even Zendaya!! I did love Tyla's look, that was iconic!!!

[@guyafrica7894]

Tyla stole the night. Best!

[@FashionRoadman]

She really did!

[@ioloedwards4823]

That was fast! Did you sleep?!

[@FashionRoadman]

I certainly did not 🤣

[@patsteimer1860]

John and Pat have always done that particular makeup look. It’s not just riding on the coattails of the viral couture makeup look. They’ve always done some version of that particular makeup look. IMO. You’re adorable btw 😍

[@FashionRoadman]

Oh yes you’re totally right, I was more referring to the make-up looks in addition to all the other Margiela looks across the met gala that referenced that exact couture collection.

[@patsteimer1860]

@@FashionRoadman you’re totally right!

[@Chuuzus]

Tyla is such a popstar! she hands down was the best dressed by a mile!

[@ulrikamalone8046]

Definitely want more fashion roasts of the Met Gala 2024

[@adityawariar7707]

You need to talk about Mona Patel..

[@justfloating9787]

And Alia bhatt . They rocked the MET .... I was quiet amazed by both their outfits . 😍

[@theoldmule3619]

What I noticed was the lack of designers there . The pictures I’ve seen hardly any shown and what I also noticed no Gucci at all. Interesting

[@glitrcamille]

tyla ofc, but i actually really liked emma and wisdom's looks too from the ones discussed today. they had similar interpretations of the theme

[@georgemckoy5837]

Roadman PLEASE do MORE!

[@tbec50]

Do a part 2 and talk about Lewis Hamilton. I'd say his look is definitely one of my favorites even though it might be simple, but the story behind it is dope

[@sbrandonr]

Seeing this video when I logged into KZbin made my morning! Love your content

[@alexateachey9680]

Part 2 pls!!! Also remember that Emma has to interview during the whole met gala, so it’s impractical for her to do something ground-breaking. Shes going to be on camera all night so practical but on-point and also flattering is exactly what she needed to wear! Shes needs to be comfy on camera because we OBSESS over her vogue interviews Edit: but also I freaking adore you and your channel thank you for your service 🫶🏻

[@Ellington3]

Yes, please do a part 2 & 3, I enjoy your fashion extrapolations. 😊

[@joeyeliza]

Would love to see a part 2! Rly enjoy your takes

[@maria651]

Your MIND. Luv hearing you speak on fashion💕

[@BookFence]

Yes, please do a part 2 and 3!

[@hollygrace6814]

I appreciate "I deserve Couture" commenting and referencing the fashion houses and NOT the celebrity when making his comments. Its about the fashion, the stylists, the designers, not the celebrities. Also, Oliver Rousteing is one of the young iconic designers of today!

[@hollygrace6814]

part 2 pls:)

[@adeleange]

we need more!

[@nameisamine]

Not every female celebrity being upstaged by Tyla!? 👀 I definitely didn’t see that coming!

[@channel_x_8]

TYLA ATE

[@glamdawling]

Please do a part 2! I really liked Dan Levy's Loewe suit and Mona Patel in Iris van Herpen. I think those looks deserve more discussion.

[@Intervain]

I won't lie I'd love to see a back to back Galliano exhibit... all the Margiela podcast stuff was so interesting, that I feel small clips of him speaking here and there interspersing the outfits would make for a fascinationg show. The man is interesting and educated. and has a lot of influences. on a different note Olivier's outfit and Tyla's were very good reference to the stone statues in the original story and the sands of time. Not the obvious flowers.

[@kealani6535]

Should be renamed "Cry for Attention Festival"

[@sarab6415]

Please do more Met Gala videos. I liked Tyla the best - stunning & interesting

[@folasayoojo7019]

I quite like the sandtime bag concept. If you are thinking of a present for mum, that will be a good one😅

[@brown1809]

Ben simmons was defo one of my faves! The fabric was beautiful and detailed.

[@IfeoluwasimipoAdemuyiwa-oo3uw]

Mona Patel ❤

[@stjiro]

hi ayo, just gotta say I love your videos that’s it bye

[@hollygrace6814]

we need more zac posen !!!

[@user-rf5nj7qj6v]

In America we call the ⌛ sand timer a hour glass.

[@castoputa]

It’s called an hour glass pretty much everywhere 😂

[@amirahcle1680]

Part 2, pls

[@carolina.6365]

Tyla, Rebecca Hall, Chloe Sevigny, Emma Chamberlain

[@jukestaposition]

I would've brought something from Loewe SS23, a reimagination of the anthurium dress, or from menswear with the grass coat. The grass coat would've been perfect for the garden theme and the growth of the actual grass as a representation of time. I also thought of Virgil Abloh's LV skyscraper jacket, a new version of that would have been cool. Skyscrapers are representations of time periods in the urban environment. Each building are calcified versions of their zeitgeist.

[@nutella_dinero]

My favorite look was Mona Patel

[@gettinmoney8567]

Pushing for a galliano theme but not a muggler one or vivienne westwood is crazy

[@periscope7731]

Team Swarovski, especially Anok. Penélope Cruz nailed it again this year, in Chanel. She is the princess of the secret Spanish garden😍

[@mrfamilyfriendly4370]

Thom Browne fits on point this Season, same as Galliano, but let’s not get distracted from things happening in Gaza

[@etoufee21]

More, please. Balmain No.1 (wish she had a headpiece though) and Galiano for Margiela No.2 for interpretation of this Met Gala theme. PS Did you a documentary on the entire Sleeping Beauty exhibit with comments?

[@veeceey1073]

Zendaya, bad bunny and Tyla are my favs

[@votionary]

Any idea why some fashion houses weren't represented at the met gala? I didn't see anything by Versace, D&G or Louis Vutton

[@phantomthread4385]

Seriously expected more than just florals. There was so much outrageous looks that could have been done. It's not like they didn't know the theme well in advance. And Zendaya even missing is just weird. Liked the Iris Van Herpen dress and Chloe Sevigny. Otherwise it's a bit of a snoozefest....

[@trollzzzz7300]

Nicki looked amazing

[@Madoubfree]

It’s an hourglass, many people haven’t seen this

[@gelmibson883]

Wooo!

[@tomhendry6831]

what did you think of taylor rusells look!

[@Judgement494]

Please talk about the guests that aren’t celebrities but are business owners!! Mona Patel and Gustave Witzo. I thought their looks were interesting.

[@augustinethinks]

meanwhile NYPD was fighting pro-palestine protesters outside so yea John would have been a mistake for sure..i could imagine the uproar especially with the war going on in the middle east rn

[@pablotorres9308]

Next video: Elle Fanning, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Ariana Grande, Gigi Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Dua Lipa, Rosalía, Barry Keoghan, Anok Yai, Alia Bhatt, Eiza González Rivera, Sofia Coppola, Tom Ford, Kylie Minogue, Donald Glover.

[@garykanter7137]

A favorite of mine is Sarah Jessica Parker. Nobody seems to be commenting on what she wore. I especially loved her hat. I wonder why? I am also curious about Donatella Versace with the talented Andrew Scott (from “Among Us Strangers” and “Ripley”. I have not read anything about them as a couple or their outfits.

[@ElderMoreMind]

It’s very hard for me to appreciate this kind of style. For women, there are 2-3 silhouettes all of which are conventionally flattering and attractive. For men, there are endless suit variations but most are no more interesting than what the women are wearing. I would love to see Carol Christian Powell designing for the Gala… maybe someday such a world could exist.

[@silvergold9756]

Lets gooo

[@PM-jq4lf]

wait .. how did u not talk about nicki ??

[@amirahcle1680]

Tula ❤ Lewis Hamilton ❤

[@sallyjones3595]

You have to pay Prada they don't just show up b/c rich people going to be there 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@madamerei7378]

For me one of the very few great clad and styled was Chloe Sevigny. Tyla was good but didn`t kicked me from the sofa . 99,5% was absolutely underwhelming. And can someone explain me what is going on with Doja? Is she on contract with KW (to be the double of his wife...????)or/and Gvasa. as well?? After KW was (righteously) dumbed by the brother??

[@brigri8]

I was hoping to see a wider range of interpretations, specifically more references to the book, its characters and literary motives. This was probably one of my least favourite MET Gala carpets. Very disappointing looks from some of the co-chairs. Overall, the looks this year lacked imagination, creativity, courage, playfulness. Where are Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lupita and other millennials and gen icons.

[@jas8672]

Cardi is at the top of my worst dressed, sorry! More & bigger isn’t always better.

[@castoputa]

I hope they can recycle the fabric!

[@mollierocket705]

Part 2,3,4,5 ……….

[@mudslynger2109]

(Sigh) I think I just saw Fairytopia. Olivier stole the show - in fact the MEN stole the show: Barry Keoghan, Eddie Redmayne, Lil Nas X, Kieran (coat for the fit 😬) Damiano David, Alton Mason…No idea who their designers and stylists are. Most people looked like they were going to the opera or Vegas (Jennifer Lopez) and I wish I had not seen any flowers or clocks. The sand dress would have been interesting if she had moved in it and we were able to watch it fall apart. While Kyla looked beautiful and her dress was fantastic, fascinating…unique. When I saw the aides lift her like a mannequin and place her stiff, vertical body from stair to stair - I was embarrassed since they might as well have paraded a literal plaster dummy. I will not watch another Met Gala until they hire some on-air hosts who have some knowledge of Fashion although it 2024 was a step up from 2023’s “YOU LOOK SO AMAAAAAZING!”

[@maryokwara8985]

No matter what you said, Zendaya and Tyla stole the show, but Zendaya had been trending world-wide all day yesterday. She did what she suppose to be done. She displayed archived looks as the co-chair, whether you agree or not it has certainly catapulted her career, future.

[@taqedog3717]

Y nobody try to be the angry army ?

[@phantomthread4385]

Right? Seriously.... so many looks are there from the story and the exhibition. Disappointing.

[@MrLifeUnderTheScope]

you missed Jennie Kim in the custom Alaïa dress.

[@dfw.t1mmy]

There was nothing special about that 😭. Respectfully ion see why they keep inviting her back.

[@dellplummer5173]

WTF was up with Jeff Goldblum . 🤔

[@Emperor_5]

This matgala was like pieces of a babies diaper, absolutely terrible. The amount of minimalism in the cotour was about disappointing. There was no contrast, rhythm or unity within the clothing most of the people wore. There needs to be better, and that will take more time. Overall, I'm not going to wait for the circus dress up to get better. That will come with force.

[@malushize]

What did you think of jennie's look?

[@dmahirah]

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@janapoljakova214]

The theme being so tone deaf to the current times makes me gag

[@ljbx8]

this met gala was honestly just the john galliano show... very disappointing imo

[@madamerei7378]

I thought it was even between Thom Browne & JG. Yepp. disappointing.

[@carmenf6844]

Cualquiera que tenga 25,000 puede ir ,dicen que solo invitados pero la verd veo a gente sin talento, ordinaria,ruda y con canciones denigrantes, la MET perdió su categoría,oh si alguien dice que es 75,000 , bueno,el dinero no compra clase.
