Met Gala 2024 live updates: All the red carpet looks as Kim Kardashian arrives

Stars walk Met Gala red carpet dressed for ‘Sleeping Beauties’ theme

Fashion’s most-anticipated red carpet event is officially underway.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will be filled this evening by beloved musicians, transformative artists, emblem designers, famed actors, and celebrity influencers to celebrate The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”. The co-chairs for the evening include Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Bad Bunny, while Vogue’s red-carpet hosts will be La La Anthony, Gwendoline Christie, and Ashley Graham, alongside special correspondent Emma Chamberlain.

This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” – which is not a reference the Disney fairytale. Inside the exhibit, 250 pieces from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection will be showcased, some dating back to the Elizabethan period. The idea is to reimagine fragile designs that can never be worn again in new ways through CGI, light projections, soundscaping, and video animation.

Guests will follow a dress code of “The Garden of Time,” a nod to JG Ballard’s 1962 tale. The story details Count Axel, his Countess, and their dwindling garden as an angry mob descends on their peaceful home and nursery of crystalline flowers.

Along with all four co-chairs and the event’s organiser Anna Wintour, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kendall Jenner, Uma Thurman, Sarah Paulson, Cara Delevingne, and Olivia Rodrigo are expected to be at tonight’s Met Gala, according to a 13 April Page Six report.

The broadcast of the 2024 Met Gala red carpet begins at 6pm ET, with the event streaming on Vogue’s TikTok and YouTube account.

Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner grace the red carpet after mom Kris Jenner

Of course, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner wouldn’t miss their “Super Bowl” – the Met Gala.

It may have taken them some time to get through the long line, but the two sisters have finally arrived. Kim chose to bleach her hair for the occasion once again, pairing the blonde style with a metal lace Jean Paul Gaultier dress. Meanwhile, Kendall plucked a Givenchy archive piece that’s never been worn before, taking inspiration from “The Garden of Time” concept.

Their self-proclaimed “momager” stunned next to her boyfriend Corey Gamble shortly before, leaving one question in everyone’s minds: Where is Kylie?

As of now, there have been no signs of the makeup mogul. However, a few days ago she took to Instagram reminiscing on her Jean Paul Gaultier design from last year’s Met Gala.

Queen Latifah attends her first Met Gala

Queen Latifah is in the building after walking the coveted catwalk at her first Met Gala.

The Thom Browne partner collaborated with the namesake designer to create her “Birds of Paradise” gown. The black sequin dress detailed with yellow florals was paired with a dramatic black overcoat.

Any nerves Latifah may have had before the big night drifted off before all the camera flashes and screams for her.

“I’m actually quite happy. This has been a wonderful experience,” she told La La Anthony before heading into the museum.

Ariana Grande attends Met Gala with Cynthia Erivo, not Ethan Slater

Tonight was not “date night” for Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater.

The “yes, and?” singer chose a different co-star to walk the Met steps with her: Cynthia Erivo. Despite her romance with the Spongebob musical star, Grande appeared angelic in a white gown next to her close confidant in a black Thom Browne suit top and matching skirt embellished with pink flowers.

“Working with Cynthia, getting to know and love her, has changed my life,” Grande told La La Anthony on the red carpet.

Charli XCX wears a dress she could “go to bed” in

Charli XCX took “sleeping beauties” a bit too literally.

As predicted, at least one celebrity showed up in a glamourous rendition of pajamas. The artist tapped Marni to create a ripped ensemble made entirely out of T-shirt material.

Why? Charli wanted to be so comfortable she could “go to bed”.

Despite the singer’s idea, the theme of this year’s Met Gala has nothing to do with sleep attire. Instead, the concept is meant to celebrate fashion’s fragile pieces, experiencing and reimagining them through all five senses.

Jennifer Lopez says being a co-chair ‘isn’t bad’

Jennifer Lopez is a Met Gala veteran.

This is the singer’s 14th time walking the Met steps for the annual event. Lopez honoured her role as co-chair in a sparkly Schiaparelli piece that took about 800 hours to make.

When asked whether the task of being co-chair was daunting, Lopez said: “It’s not that bad.”

Apparently, the role requires a “nice dinner” with Anna Wintour the night before and some simple greetings inside the gala.
