  • I really am excited to see Zendaya.

  • I was that person that was on the way over here, I was already looking at what she was wearing. - Like looking, looking.

  • Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most stunning, ambitious, and show-stopping ensembles from fashion's biggest night, the Met Gala 2024, where the theme was the Garden of Time.

  • This is a Louis Vuitton fantasy.

  • I think we just wanted to bring the full idea of the Garden of Time to life.

  • Number 10, Gigi Hadid.

  • Over the years, supermodel Gigi Hadid has dominated the red carpet of many Met Galas, and this year was no different.

  • The Met Ball is obviously different than any other red carpet. - That's true.

  • I think it's the time to really have fun and go for it.

  • Styled by Mimi Cattrall, Hadid bloomed on the green carpet in a Tom Brown white off-the-shoulder gown with a corseted bodice and ruffled skirt tipped in black satin.

  • I think this is such a great nod to the Garden of Time, the book, which has these glass flowers in the garden in front of the house.

  • The Italian garden-inspired design featured 2.8 million micro bugle beads, handmade 3D yellow rosettes, and green thorn appliques, which reportedly required a 70-plus person team over 13,500 hours to complete.

  • It took 20 people 5,000 hours to work on this look.

  • Wow.

  • 70 people worked on it, so I'm just so honored to be here presenting this for them.

  • I think that's what this is all about.

  • The expertly crafted piece was undoubtedly one of the most eye-popping gowns of the night.

  • Hadid's retro curls and red lip completed the classic look.

  • Number 9, Asa González

  • Asa González radiated fairy princess elegance in a custom del Corre blush and ivory organza dress inspired by Mexico's state flower, the vanilla orchid.

  • The pretty and pink color palette gave the flowing, peeling orchid gown a rose and cream ombre effect, which went perfectly with the gala's forest decor.

  • González complemented the overall ethereal floral ensemble with dewy makeup and a braided romantic half-updo with curls adorned in white flower petals.

  • She accessorized with a bluish-green Cartier necklace, matching ring, and earrings.

  • Unlike some restrictive get-ups, the actress actually looked comfortable in the airy fabric.

  • And that is everything.

  • Number 8, Sydney Sweeney

  • From her first Met Gala in 2022 to countless film premieres and events, Sydney Sweeney has proven she is a style icon.

  • For her third time ascending the Met steps, the actress wore a light blue Miu Miu tulle gown with floral embroidery.

  • This is Miu Miu gone dark.

  • We have a little bit of a twist.

  • Sweeney's arrival had everyone doing a double-take as she debuted a jet-black bob with bangs in place of her usual long blonde locks.

  • Glenn Coco, my hairstylist, he always pushes me to try new things.

  • Yes.

  • So, we wanted to push a little different.

  • Would you ever dye it this color?

  • It's kind of hot.

  • I don't know, should I?

  • The temporary do, courtesy of hairstylist Glenn Oropesa, in black leather opera gloves added some edge to her Cinderella serve.

  • The leather gloves, it's like edgier.

  • Do you feel like you're more edgy or you're more like that light flowery sort of soft vibe?

  • I feel like I'm a balance of both.

  • It depends on what you're looking at.

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, it's good to kind of have that duality.

  • A dusting of all over body glitter made the look all the more magical.

  • Number seven, Mindy Kaling.

  • One of the biggest fashion surprises of the night came from Mindy Kaling, who arrived wearing a show-stopping number by designer Gaurav Gupta.

  • She delivered an over-the-top chic look in a beige organza architectural dress, fittingly named the Melting Flower of Time.

  • So it makes me really happy to rep such talented geniuses who happen to be from my community.

  • It's amazing.

  • And this gown has a name.

  • It's called the Melting Flower of Time.

  • Kaling's whimsical combination of garden and time featured a swirling detachable cape and long train modeled after a wilting flower.

  • Look at the cape.

  • You can see that it looks like a flower.

  • It does. - That is once blossoming and is now melting.

  • It is so stunning.

  • Gupta adorned the fabric in lines of crystal beads for a subtle sparkle, accentuated by minimal jewelry.

  • Kaling's sleek bob and subtle makeup really let this work of art shine.

  • Thanks, Vogue.

  • Bye.

  • Am I allowed to talk to camera?

  • Obviously.

  • This is what we did in the office.

  • Number six, Alia Bhatt.

  • The 2024 Met Gala saw endless ethereal looks gracing the carpet.

  • But one major standout was Alia Bhatt, who worked with stylist Anita Shroff Adhijania to create an Indian-inspired take on this year's theme, the Garden of Time.

  • This is designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

  • It is my second time at the Met, but my first time wearing a saree.

  • And when I thought of the dress code, Garden of Time, I felt like it needed something timeless, and there's nothing more timeless than a saree.

  • The actress turned heads in a mint-green custom Sabyasachi saree, hand-embroidered with sequins, tassels, and rare gemstones.

  • The immaculate creation took about 1,965 hours to craft and really brought the drama with a flowing 23-foot-long train with floral detailing.

  • I'm so excited to bring all of that out to the world for everybody to see, because it's taken a lot of love and labor and a lot of effort, and anything that's gotten love in time lasts forever.

  • Like the garden!

  • But dazzled in her beautifully bejeweled bralette and gorgeous Sabyasachi accessories jewels, proving that even though it's only her second Met Gala, she is clearly a pro.

  • As a performer, Tyla isn't afraid to go all-in on an unconventional look.

  • Did you, like, have a vision going into this, or were you sort of the canvas for this look?

  • I mean, I worked very close with the Balmain team, so I feel like I was a part of it.

  • Making her Met debut, the South African singer wowed in a shimmering strapless Sands of Time-inspired creation designed by Balmain's creative director Olivier Rousteing.

  • Yeah, I'm wearing sand, basically.

  • The Sands of Time, you know, we really wanted something out of the box for this year.

  • The figure-hugging gown made from a plaster mold of Tyla's body is truly one of a kind.

  • In an Instagram post, the brand detailed the unique applique process of pressing three different shades of sand and micro-crystal studs onto fabric.

  • She accessorized with a chain-dripping manicure and a Balmain hourglass clutch.

  • Let me show you the bag.

  • No!

  • Like, come on.

  • That is unbelievable.

  • Due to the fragile structure and cascading organza train, Tyla needed some assistance ascending the steps.

  • Worth it.

  • Guys, that's the only way I'm getting up these stairs.

  • That's the only way.

  • Number 4, Mona Patel.

  • If anyone wasn't familiar with Mona Patel before, they are now after this year's Met Gala.

  • The entrepreneur and philanthropist arrived in a jaw-dropping Iris Van Herpen nude-toned gown with gold accents styled by La Roche.

  • The exquisite mechanical dress almost broke the internet with its butterfly-shaped corset and delicate fluttering butterflies down the arms.

  • Van Herpen, a designer known for an alien aesthetic, ensured Patel made a memorable first impression as a gala goddess donning this innovative creation.

  • With its scalloped train and intricate details, this ensemble looked stunning from all angles.

  • Number 4, Elle Fanning.

  • Given how the night's theme links to the Met's own Sleeping Beauty's reawakening fashion exhibition, it's only right that Sleeping Beauty herself made a magical appearance.

  • Well, obviously, the theme is Sleeping Beauty, which I know it's not on the nose, Sleeping Beauty, but I played Sleeping Beauty in Maleficent, so I was like, gosh, I was like, well, I have to pay homage to her a little bit.

  • Absolutely.

  • The Maleficent star hit the green-tinged carpet in a custom Balmain dress that gave ice princess vibes.

  • I'm a glass statue in the garden.

  • The off-the-shoulder design featured two crystal birds attached to each side as if in her own fairy tale.

  • You know, the princess gets dressed by her woodland creatures. - Yes.

  • Fanning's sheer frosted frock proved to be a light-catching masterpiece under the lights, along with her Cartier jewelry.

  • It wasn't the easiest gown to navigate on the sprawling Met steps, but clearly, Fanning was willing to make the sacrifice for fashion.

  • Lana Del Rey understood the garden glam assignment and served a sinister Mother Nature look we didn't know we needed.

  • Yeah, I guess it was this idea of Mother Nature, but the slightly more sinister aspects.

  • The singer's all-cream georgette corseted dress, a custom design by Alexander McQueen creative director Sean McGirr, was embroidered with dark thorny vines crawling up the silhouette.

  • Well, I'm with Sean, so...

  • With McQueen.

  • Oh, God, I hope I don't poke him, but...

  • Well, again, like, we wanted it to look like McQueen, so the shape...

  • Del Rey wore her long locks in waves, showing off the ensemble's headpiece made of natural hawthorn branches and draped in a tulle veil.

  • The whimsical and woodsy aesthetic perfectly honored this year's Costume Institute exhibition.

  • No notes.

  • It's about the inner animal, I guess, you know?

  • Nature, the animals, you know?

  • We're really inspired by the theme, really.

  • Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.

  • Coleman Domingo.

  • The Oscar nominee's custom Willy Chavarria-caped suit paid tribute to late icons.

  • It's a very dark story, but it feels like, you know, I don't know, I feel like a count in some way.

  • You know, I feel like a count, but I also have my dark flowers with me as well.

  • Dove Cameron.

  • The Descendants star rocked a romantic sheer floral dress by Diesel.

  • The concept, yeah, that maybe we were sitting in a forest for a very long time and we were sort of eaten away and affected by the surroundings.

  • Ayo Edebri.

  • The Emmy winner made her Met debut in a stunning lace Loewe gown with 3D florals.

  • Do you feel like a little garden?

  • Yes, very much that.

  • Yeah, we got the flowers and the hair, you know.

  • Ah, so good.

  • Is this your first Met?

  • It's my first Met.

  • Stop. How do you feel?

  • Like, kind of crazy, but I'll take a, like, another check at the end of it.

  • Amelia Gray.

  • No one will forget this light-up, rose-filled terrarium dress by Jun Takahashi.

  • Okay, now let's try the other foot.

  • Okay.

  • Hey.

  • I'm coming.

  • This is like wedding dress fitting.

  • It's giving say yes to the dress.

  • Greta Lee.

  • Angelic, elegant, and edgy in a structured lace Loewe gown.

  • Per the theme, it's got that contrast of this strong shield-like, but ephemeral...

  • Did he ask you if you wanted to eat at the Met?

  • No.

  • Oh, good, because obviously.

  • Quannah Chasinghorse.

  • The model-actress blossomed in an iridescent periwinkle princess dress by H&M.

  • After a five-year absence, Zendaya returns to the Met Gala as a co-chair.

  • As expected, the fashionista delivered.

  • Styled by longtime collaborator La Roche, the Challenger star wore a custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano emerald and navy-striped mermaid-cut dress.

  • She channeled the night's flora and fauna vibes with metallic detailed motifs, leaves, grapes, and a hummingbird.

  • A matching Stephen Jones-veiled fascinator, Bulgari jewels, and striking makeup by Pat McGrath topped off the look.

  • Later, Zendaya rocked a second Galliano design, a black ballgown from Givenchy's couture collection.

  • For this look, she wore a more dramatic headpiece with a colorful bouquet of roses, an Alexander McQueen design by Philip Treacy.

  • Needless to say, she closed down the green carpet.

  • What was your favorite Met Gala look of 2024?

  • Let us know in the comments.

  • This is Givenchy.

  • It's archival McQueen from 1999.

  • I am so, so incredibly honored to wear it.
