2024 Met gala looks article Is Mona Patel One of the Met Gala’s Best-Dressed?
She is an Entrepreneur and philanthropist. It was her first public appearance on the Met Gala. Law Roach also styled this Met Gala debutante. Patel said, “I wanted my debut look to be something that celebrates my heritage and also combines my love couture, and when I heard of the theme, Iris Van Herpen seemed like the obvious choice,” . The stylist made his way to India in March to pull together the building blocks for her custom Iris Van Herpen gown. Patel’s body-hugging gown comes with an unexpected accent that was in fact devised by the entrepreneur herself. Her look was a neutral-toned strapless gown with shades of beige and ivory lace working its magic to create texture and dimension on the bodice and the train. The masterpiece of the outfit was the moving Gold butterfly embellishments sleeves attached to gold cuff bracelets that doubled up as jewellery too. The moving sleeves made by Casey Curran for this epic Met Gala collaboration are certain to go down in history. Drop diamond earrings for jewellery and minimal hair and makeup completed the look.
What do you think is she one of the Met Gala’s Best- Dressed? Wisdom Kaye’s burnt red rose look for the Met Gala 2024 was a showstopper!
For his Met Gala debut, the Nigerian-American fashion influencer delivered a hauntingly beautiful interpretation of “The Garden Of Time” theme. His fashion designer, was Robert Wun. It wasn’t about blooming florals, but rather the decay that accompanies time. Kaye donned a voluminous, crimson ensemble crafted to appear aged and worn, with frayed edges and hints of a darker shade peeking through. Like a wilting rose, its vibrant colour gives way to a deeper hue. Robert Wun said that he was “Inspired by the romantic aspect of red and telling a story of decay through time. The full red look uses in burning, hand printing and painting to encapsulate the natural flaws and the darkening of the red colour in rose petals as it ages and withers.”. Kaye’s look was a masterclass in visual storytelling through fashion. The illusion of decay crafted on the fabric, the hat and the single rose all spoke to the impermanence of beauty and the inevitable hand of time on all things, even the most magnificent blooms.
A controversial look that didn’t seem entirely on theme was that of the American rapper Doja Cat. She paired a soaking wet t-shirt with glitter tears, studded with Jacob & co diamond studs. Her look appeared to be completely effortless and unusual not received well by the audience in general. When asked about the meaning behind this look, she claimed that she wanted to do something to stand out as she doesn’t really like to “blend in”. Her outfit was definitely different... The cotton shirt was supposed to represent the “most used flower” and displays how a white shirt is “timeless”. The look was interesting to say the least. Critics have described the look as “wildly off –theme" and “bonkers”. When initially stepping out of her hotel, she sported a towel and a headwrap, demonstrating standard bathroom garments. With her history of unexpected, bold fashion choices it’s safe to say that this look isn’t too out of the ordinary for the rapper.
