Chrissy Teigen humorously declared May 7 as the most important Tuesday, following the Met Gala on May 6. While presenting an award at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards in New York City, Teigen praised Cult Gaia’s Jasmin Larian Hekmat for her impact on the fashion industry. Teigen mentioned that she wasn’t invited to the Met Gala, but joked that she had the perfect outfit for the event, referencing her floor-length mesh gown with floral appliqués.
The Met Gala’s theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and dress code of “Garden of Time” inspired many attendees to incorporate florals into their looks. Zendaya made Met Gala history by walking the red carpet twice in two different stunning gowns. Kylie Jenner looked elegant in a silk gown by Oscar de la Renta with floral accessories in her hair. Kelsea Ballerini wore a pink petal-covered gown by Michael Kors, and Queen Latifah made her Met Gala debut in a design by Thom Browne.
Although Chrissy Teigen did not attend the Met Gala in 2024, she has been present at previous events. She notably wore Marchesa at the 2017 gala for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” theme. Teigen also made an appearance in a timeless black St. John dress at the 2015 event with the theme “China: Through the Looking Glass.” In 2011, she made her Met Gala debut in a black beaded Chris March gown that featured feathers.
Teigen’s humor and fashion prowess have made her a staple at high-profile events like the Met Gala. Her attendance at previous galas has been memorable, with her fashionable outfits perfectly aligning with the event’s themes. Despite not being invited to the 2024 Met Gala, Teigen’s presence was still felt at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards, where she delivered witty remarks and celebrated the talents of others in the fashion industry.
The Met Gala continues to be a highly anticipated event each year, with celebrities and fashion icons showcasing their creativity and style on the red carpet. Zendaya’s historic double appearance at the 2024 gala and the stunning floral ensembles worn by other attendees further solidified the event’s reputation as a showcase of innovative and glamorous fashion. The Met Gala’s themes and dress codes serve as inspiration for attendees to push the boundaries of traditional fashion and make bold statements with their outfits.
