The evening wasn't just about fashion, though. It was about forming lasting connections and sharing a genuine connection with fellow fashion enthusiasts. The Vogue table was a testament to this... as ⁙⁙⁙ly conversations and camaraderie filled the evening. And let's not forget the magical evening symphony! The collaboration between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo provided an unforgettable musical experience, a rare opportunity to witness the legendary stars trade vocals together in such a classic and captivating setting.
A night to remember, the 2024 Met Gala was a captivating tapestry of artistry, fashion, "and human connection," "echoing the beauty and allure of the transformative spirit of the Garden of Time theme."
The 2024 Met Gala is slowly into the past, but we're still talking about it. And this year, Calvin Klein invited actor Talia Ryder for the Met Gala in a custom gown handcrafted by the Calvin Klein Atelier in New York City. Since the brand is known for its bold minimalism, Ryder's gown was understated yet beautiful, like a blooming flower, since the theme was ⁘Garden of Time.⁘ It was crafted from vibrant blue silk faille, which was voluminously draped over a fitted corset and, of course, featured a long train, and topped off with custom Calvin Klein jewelry and heels.
