Celebrities attended the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" Met Gala on Monday.
The "Garden of Time" dress code inspired many floral and Earth-inspired looks.
The 2024 Met Gala was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Monday.
The annual fundraising event, which is held in celebration of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is one of the most exclusive events of the year.
The gala draws attendees from across industries, from tech to Hollywood. Invitees are hand-selected by Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour, and this year, tickets cost $75,000 each. Vogue reported that last year's event raised a record-setting $22 million for the Costume Institute.
The Met Gala's theme changes each year, and celebrities from Zendaya to Lana Del Rey embraced the "Garden of Time" dress code at this year's event.
Here were the best-dressed celebrities at the 2024 Met Gala.

The actor's Steve O Smith look consisted of a blazer and skirt. Both were made of black and sheer fabric, making it seem as if pieces of the suit were missing.
An underlayer of tulle sat beneath the skirt, which looked like pants from a distance.
Elle Fanning's see-through gown was actually made of glass.
