On May 6, 2024, the Met Gala once again captured the world’s attention, unfolding its grand sartorial spectacle at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” inspired an array of attire that both challenged the conventional and celebrated the avant-garde. A-list celebrities from Zendaya to various fashion icons graced the red carpet, each contributing to the evening’s dazzling showcase of style.

This movement towards subtler, more covered looks provided a refreshing perspective on contemporary fashion’s adaptability and the evolving dialogue around personal expression through dress at one of the fashion industry’s most watched events. From Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson to Barbie director, Greta Gerwig, here are some of the coolest modest looks seen on the red carpet.
