Even after getting a major hint on Instagram, nothing could have prepared us for the full force of Gigi Hadid’s Met Gala 2024 look, designed by Thom Browne.
The supermodel’s stunner of a gown was mostly white, with structured ruffles trimmed in black lining. In keeping with the 2024 gala’s “Garden of Time” dress code, the off-the-shoulder dress was adorned with three-dimensional yellow roses and green leaves. Maneuvering this much dress is no joke, which is why Hadid was joined by a posse of black-suited helpers to arrange her voluminous train, hold her purse, and help her up the Met’s famous stairs without incident.

Hadid took a classic glam approach to her makeup and hair, with a bold red lip and pin curls in her blonde bob. She finished with a simple diamond necklace and drop earrings. The back of the gown showed off the corset lacing, and Browne’s signature red, white, and blue striped tag.
In an interview with Vogue, Hadid said that the gown was made of over two million beads and took 5,000 hours of labor. “He wanted it to be worthy of a museum,” the model said of Thom Browne’s vision.
