Jennifer Lopez, the iconic singer, actress, and co-chair of the 2024 Met Gala, graced the event’s red carpet in a show-stopping ensemble. The 54-year-old superstar arrived on 5th Avenue in New York City wearing a sheer Schiaparelli gown adorned with sequins and intricate beading. Her figure-hugging dress left little to the imagination, and she paired it with a large statement necklace that perfectly complemented the outfit. To complete the look, J.Lo opted for a sleek high bun, ensuring all eyes were on her as she owned the red carpet.
The 2024 Met Gala theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” inspired the attendees to explore treasured garments from the museum’s collection. These delicate pieces, so fragile that they require special glass “coffins” for display, evoke a sense of wonder and reverence. The theme is distinct from the dress code, which this year is “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same title.
Jennifer Lopez has been a Met Gala regular, attending over a dozen times. Her fashion choices are always a highlight, often featuring designs from Ralph Lauren or Versace. In anticipation of the event, J.Lo teased her outfit on “Good Morning America,” playfully admitting that Met Gala looks are not about comfort. “It’s always a nice time there. It’s such an interesting mix of artists and business people. It’s not just music or film, it’s everybody — fashion, film, music, business — and you get to have some really interesting interactions,” she shared.
As one of the co-chairs alongside Latin music superstar Bad Bunny, “Euphoria” actress Zendaya, and “Thor” himself, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez continues to make her mark on fashion’s biggest night. Her dazzling Schiaparelli gown covered in diamonds, sequins, and beading will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the standout looks of the 2024 Met Gala.
