New York City, NY – The 2024 Met Gala in New York City drew in numerous stars for a glamorous night, but one longtime attendee expressed disappointment with the event this year.
According to an insider, the gala’s red carpet was described as “fairly tame” and “boring.” The fashion display lacked the mesmerizing and outlandish elements seen in previous years. Despite a few standout moments, such as Tyla’s stunning sand dress, the overall event was deemed slow and lacking in star power, with the absence of notable figures like Rihanna and Taylor Swift.
While the insider praised Zendaya’s outfit change as one of the best gimmicks of the night, they noted a lack of unexpected moments that had made past Met Galas more exciting. The absence of extravagant entrances by celebrities like Lady Gaga or Katy Perry left the event feeling less thrilling compared to previous years.
This year’s Met Gala, themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” was perceived as more low-key by the insider. However, some attendees managed to stand out for their vibes and chemistry. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were noted for their apparent love and connection during their debut appearance at the event.
Notable figures like Pamela Anderson, who made her Met Gala debut, were commended for embodying a sense of reawakening, while Jennifer Lopez, who co-chaired the event in a custom Schiaparelli design, was described as “luminous” and captivating.
Overall, while some attendees shone with their presence and style, the insider felt that this year’s Met Gala fell short of delivering the same level of excitement and extravagance as seen in previous editions, highlighting the absence of the jaw-dropping moments that had characterized the event in the past.
