The dress code for the 2024 MET Gala “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” is based on a short story by J.G. Ballard, “The Garden of Time.” As the story goes, there’s comfort in reversing the clock a bit, shielding the main characters from danger, but as we saw on the red carpet tonight, time is nothing but a friend to the stunning women over 50 who attended the MET Gala.

Kris Jenner looked ethereal in all white with emerald jewels as accents. The secret to her red carpet glow? A few layers of her daughter’s skin-care products.

Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah arrived at the MET Gala clad in Thom Browne. The 54-year-old star stood out with a 3D recreation of a bird of paradise affixed to her dress and a statement jacket hanging off one shoulder.

Sarah Jessica Parker

The MET Gala is essentially a field day for the ever-stylish Sarah Jessica Parker. Always a fan of a statement hat, SJP, of course, had a show-stealing accessory atop her head for her 12th Met Gala.

Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace is often tasked with dressing some of the biggest stars on the MET Gala red carpet, but that doesn’t mean she forgets about herself. The 69-year-old stunned in an ornate sea foam green dress with her long blonde hair trailing behind her.
