Last night, as guests at the 2024 Met Gala arrived at the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they were greeted by the most fantastical red carpet—well, green carpet, given the abundance of flowers lining its edges—in recent memory. And just as breathtaking at the carpet were the looks paraded down it by the world’s most notable stars, which honored the theme of “The Garden of Time” with their nods to the natural world.
Yet among the endless looks that stole the show last night, there was the notable presence of fashion’s crispest, cleanest hue: white. Meaning that if any brides are currently seeking inspiration for their wedding gowns, there’s plenty to be found here.
Just take Ariana Grande’s romantic gown by Loewe, which featured a mother-of-pearl bustier and a silk chiffon skirt—perfect for any bride hoping to channel the seemingly unstoppable drop waist wedding dress trend. Sienna Miller wore a lacy look from Chemena Kamali’s first collection for Chloé that would suit those planning to bring a boho touch to their big day, while Kaia Gerber’s shimmering strapless Prada gown was a lesson in ’90s minimalist bridal. And if you’re on the hunt for something a little more offbeat? Look to Greta Lee’s dramatic sculptural sheer gown by Loewe, or Charli XCX’s punk-inflected take on the theme in a Marni dress patchworked together from vintage T-shirts.
Here, find our roundup of the best looks from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet to inspire any bride.
