Recreate Met gala Looks With Myntra
The annual Met Gala, hailed as the biggest fashion event of the year, once again unfolded its spectacle on the evening of May 6, 2024. This year's theme, "Garden of Time," drew inspiration from J.G. Ballard's literary work of the same name, intertwining seamlessly with the Costume Institute's exhibition, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
Diverging from past themes that paid homage to fashion luminaries like Karl Lagerfeld and celebrated American sartorial heritage, the 2024 Met Gala embraced a new narrative of creativity and imagination. As celebrities graced the red carpet, each ensemble became a canvas, painting a picture of elegance, innovation, and cultural resonance.
From Alia Bhatt's ethereal saree to Kim Kardashian's debatable sophistication, each look epitomised the gala's theme of "Garden of Time" in its unique way. While exact replicas may be elusive, Myntra offers affordable alternatives to help fashion enthusiasts recreate the allure and glamour of their favourite celebrity styles.
