The term “sleeping beauties” probably takes your mind to the classic fairytale, but if you’re fashion- and beauty-obsessed you’ll immediately recognize it as the 2024 Met Gala theme. The fairytale theme is paired with an even dreamier dress code: “Garden of Time,” which can only mean there will be an abundance of floral appliqué this year.
The infamous red carpet has seen its fair share of feathers, chain mail (we’ll never forget, Zendaya), and plenty of dramatic trains in years past, and we only anticipate more of the like this year. Our beauty-inclined eyes, however, will always go straight to the elaborate hair, makeup, and nails that celebs and their glam teams dream up for the gala—and that’s what this very story is all about.
Allure is keeping up with all the most notable makeup, hairstyles, and manicures on the carpet. See all the best beauty looks from the 2024 Met Gala below and keep reporting back here as the night goes on for more.

Zendaya is known to deliver when it comes to a theme—and today is no exception. She gave art goth realness for this year’s Met Gala, with cherry cola eye shadow and vampy burgundy lips and nails. Her look is made extra-striking with thin ‘90s brows. If she’s the villain, we’re rooting for her anyway.
