Celebrities dressed up in bold red-carpet looks for "fashion's biggest night" at the 2024 Met Gala.
The theme of this year's gala was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

The Met Gala, which is known as "fashion's biggest night," unfolded at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday.

At the 2024 Met Gala, for which invite-only tickets cost $75,000, the museum was transformed into an enchanted forest for the theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

Celebrities such as Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, and Cardi B made bold fashion statements, and some attendees' looks were so dramatic that they needed a helping hand up the stairs.
