At this point we all know how much work goes into creating a look for the first Monday in May. For the 2024 Met Gala, Gigi Hadid’s Thom Brown Gown Was Covered in 2.8 Million Micro Beads manual; Karlie Kloss’s was covered with almost 250,000 Swarovski crystals.
But attendees seem prepared for all Met-related situations, not just the Gala itself. As celebrities hang out in New York, they have to consider the absolute scene that leaving their hotel brings. With the paparazzi and devoted fans stationed outside the hotspots (including The Mark and The Carlyle), Met guests still hope to look their best long after the night is over.
Some opted for comfortable clothing for their upcoming flights, or in an attempt to keep a low profile. Kendall Jenner wore a low-key T-shirt and yoga pants as she left the Greenwich Hotel, and Adwoa Aboah bared her newly debuted baby bump in a cropped T-shirt and sweatpants. Still, even under-the-radar looks turned heads. Jennie Kim wore baggy jeans and a brown knit hoodie with a Chanel baseball cap. Others indulged in the sartorial spirit and dressed up for the crowd. Sydney Sweeney stepped out in New York in a strapless Rokh set, and Jack Harlow wore a suit.
Below, see how celebrities are dressing in the aftermath of the 2024 Met Gala.
