The Met Gala is often referred to as “fashion’s biggest night”, and it lived up to its nickname this year. The dress code “The Garden of Time” proved to be a great source of inspiration, and it’s given us some pretty amazing red carpet looks by Zendaya, Tyla, Taylor Russell, and more.

The dress code “The Garden of Time” marked the arrival of many floral outfits, and we’ve seen countless stars bring flower power to the red carpet. Zendaya couldn’t resist this trend, along with Gigi Hadid, Sydney Sweeney, Demi Moore, and Nicki Minaj.

Sheer dresses were also having a moment at the Met Gala, most likely as a way of evoking the sands of time. Tyla did the best job embracing this trend in her Balmain dress, which looked like it was made of sand, and she even hit the red carpet with an hourglass in hand.

Metallic dresses with shimmering details were going stronger than ever this year, and we’ve seen everyone from Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez to Anok Yai and Janelle Monáe give this trend their seal of approval.

Several stars also served gothic vibes with their edgy looks, and we can thank Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, Cardi B, Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, and Bad Bunny for making us fall in love with this trend. These were our favorite looks from the night.
