Mumbai: As the first Monday in May approached, the highly anticipated 2024 Met Gala finally arrived; A-list celebrities gathered for the pinnacle of fashion and elegance, strutting down the -this time- green carpet, adorned with the most exquisite natural-diamond jewellery. With each step up the grand staircase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they redefined glamour and sophistication, making this event a true spectacle of style and opulence, as always.
The Costume Institute’s forthcoming exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” complimented this year’s Met Gala theme and dress code, “The Garden of Time.” Fairy-tale florals and ethereal natural diamond creatures covered the Met steps on the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Lily James, Gigi Hadid and more.
Here are the best diamond looks from the 2024 Met Gala:
One of the co-chairs of the 2024 Met Gala, Jennifer Lopez wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown with epic natural diamond jewellery from Tiffany and Co. Schlumberger and the Tiffany Celéste Collection. Each piece is set in platinum complete with a 20-carat natural diamond at the centre.
