THE BEST 10 MET GALA THEME LOOKS OF 2024

The Met gala serves as an avenue for some of the world’s top 25 luxury high fashion brands to showcase their creativity and for fashion influencers and celebrities to make bold fashion statements and sometimes even political ones.

The Met Gala has been held annually since 1948, but it gained significant prominence in the 1970s under the leadership of fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert and fashion editor Anna Wintour who has been a leader of the event since the late 1980’s.

The Met Gala raises money for the Met Museum’s Costume Institute and celebrates the start of its annual fashion exhibition.

Before fashion designers execute their interpretations, they must be given Wintour’s famous AWOK stamp of approval before hitting the Met Gala red carpet.

4. Kim Kardashian dress

Kim Kardashian’s controversial tiny corset was highly criticised for promoting unrealistic and harmful body standards and ideals by changing her body to conform to a dress.

You can keep bitching about it but who cares! It is her body and she can do whatever she wants with it.

Women should not look to celebrities to tell them how their bodies should look, or to let them set the bar on what’s beautiful, elegant, sexy or hot.

You should be able to create your own beauty with your own dress code.

Kim Kardashian is one of the world’s top 10 Instagram influencers and one of the world’s top-fastest growing 10 accounts on X.
