At the 2024 Pet Gala, fashion designer Anthony Rubio recreates celebrities’ Met Gala outfits — for dogs. The Pet Gala was held at the Museum of the Dog for the first time this year, inviting guests for a runway show and a dinner. The charitable event raised money for the museum, which showcases dog-focused art.

The gala featured 12 dogs dressed in pet couture inspired by the 2024 Met Gala‘s dress code of “The Garden of Time.” A chihuahua recreated one of Zendaya’s looks. A Pomeranian dressed up à la Jennifer Lopez. A poodle was kitted out as Bad Bunny, complete with similar sunglasses. A Chinese crested’s look was inspired by Gayle King’s custom Marchesa gown. Rubio crafted all of the outfits himself in the brief turnaround between the first Monday of the month and Monday, May 20, staying up until 4 a.m. the night before the dog fashion event.

The dogs posed on the outdoor red carpet alongside models wearing complementary gowns and suits; they later participated in a runway show held inside the museum. The models held or walked the dogs while stopping to pose against a variety of floral backdrops.
