When it comes to showcasing stunning jewelry, the Met Gala red carpet always steals the spotlight. Renowned as “fashion’s grandest stage” and arguably the pinnacle of haute couture events, the Met Gala never disappoints with its display of extravagant and inventive jewelry pieces
This year’s Met Gala was no exception. From diamonds delicately draped over shoulders to floral-inspired gems adorning hairdos, the jewelry styling was nothing short of innovative. With a theme centered around “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and a dress code-themed “The Garden of Time,” celebrities embraced romantic and indulgent fashion, opting for statement pieces that exuded glamour. From Pamela Anderson’s chicly draped diamond necklace and Demi Moore’s sculptural gown inspired by a Cartier masterpiece to Ali Bhatt’s dreamy pastel-hued Sabyasachi gems, the red carpet delivered a lot of divine jewelry moments! Here are all the best jewelry looks from the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.
