The people’s princess has touched down on the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
For her first-ever appearance at the Met Gala, Ayo Edebiri made a stunning arrival in a floral lace halterneck gown, custom-made by Loewe. The intricate piece featured a backless silhouette, as well as a rainbow gradient of flowers along the length of the skirt—a perfect nod to this year’s dress code, “The Garden of Time.”
If the Met Gala is indeed the biggest night in fashion, then it only makes sense that The Bear star would figure on this year's guest list. Over the course of the past year's awards circuit, Edebiri has been topping best-dressed lists everywhere with her timeless red-carpet wardrobe, from a structured leather Louis Vuitton gown at the 2023 Emmys to a blazing red Prada cocktail dress at the 2024 Golden Globes.
This year's dress code is “The Garden of Time,” a concept inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name. In essence, the theme examines the intrinsic connection between time and natural beauty—leaving the door wide open for attendees to interpret the dress code as they please.
“The Garden of Time” also complements the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which will include about “250 objects spanning four centuries” from the Institute's vast collection, all of them “visually united by iconography related to nature, which will serve as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion,” according to a press release. The exhibition will feature a number of modern technologies in its display, too, “from cutting-edge tools, artificial intelligence, and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.”
