The best vintage and vintage-inspired fashion from the 2024 Met Gala

For her big Met Gala comeback, Zendaya wore a design by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, which was a floral masterpiece inspired by his era at Dior, specifically a gown from the spring/summer 1999 couture collection.

The actress later changed into a black gown from Galliano’s era at Givenchy. She teamed the spring/summer 1996 couture gown with a flower-adorned Philip Treacy headpiece from the Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2006 collection.

Kendall Jenner also dipped into the Givenchy archives. The model chose this dress from Alexander McQueen’s Givenchy from 1999, a dress that was seen on the catwalk on a mannequin, meaning that Jenner was the first person to ever wear the gown.

Iris Law wore a beautiful gown from Versace’s autumn/winter 2002 collection which featured an asymmetric neckline and sheer colourful panelling.

Brie Larson wore a custom Prada gown, which was inspired by a vintage design from the house. A dress from 2007 influenced the sunset colours of the design, while the sheer hoop skirt and sequin detail were added to embrace the theme of the passing of time.

Nicole Kidman wore a replica of a Balenciaga gown from 1951, which featured a beautiful black ruffled skirt with a white silk overlay and elbow-length gloves.

Lana Del Rey wore a Sean McGirr for Alexander McQueen design, which was inspired by the house’s archives, specifically a dress from the autumn/winter 2006 collection.

Emily Ratajkowski embraced a little sheer fashion in her archival gown, which was from Versace’s 2001 Atelier collection.

Ambika Mod – who was attending her very first Met Gala – wore a Loewe design, which featured a 3D print of Charles James’ Petal dress from 1951.
