Gigi Hadid continues to impress with her innate ability to impeccably align with the theme of the 2024 Met Gala. Collaborating with Thom Browne for the event’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the supermodel gracefully stepped into The Garden of Time donned in an ensemble that captured the essence of the occasion.
Her partnership with Browne resulted in a breathtaking outfit, featuring a white off-the-shoulder corset dress with exaggerated hips, elegantly layered beneath a white silk moiré coat adorned with 3D yellow roses.
The meticulous attention to detail in her attire, including thorn appliqués and voluminous skirts, required the collective effort of over 70 individuals dedicating more than 13,500 hours of handcrafted work.
Browne himself expressed admiration for Hadid’s transformation into a living embodiment of the fragility and intricate craftsmanship celebrated within Andrew Bolton’s exhibit.
Behind the scenes, Hadid’s stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, drew inspiration from the imagery of garden statues entwined in verdant vines, sourcing visual references from the enchanting landscapes of ancient Italian gardens.
Through careful curation and collaboration, Cuttrell crafted a look that seamlessly integrated with the gala’s theme, ensuring every element resonated with the spirit of the occasion.
Reflecting on her journey at the Met Gala, Hadid conveyed a profound sense of pride in presenting the labor-intensive creations of numerous artisans.
Each delicate rose adorning her attire was celebrated as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic vision that culminated in her captivating ensemble.
Since her debut appearance in 2015, Hadid has consistently captivated audiences with her fashion-forward choices and unwavering commitment to embracing the gala’s annual theme with creativity and enthusiasm.
From her inaugural appearance in a striking fire engine red DVF dress to subsequent years where she effortlessly channeled characters like Jessica Rabbit in Prada, Hadid’s evolution at the Met Gala showcases her versatility and enduring influence in the fashion industry.
For Hadid, the Met Gala transcends a mere red carpet event—it serves as a cherished opportunity to celebrate creativity, unite with fellow industry professionals, and contribute to The Met’s ongoing mission of preserving artistic legacy for future generations.
