As the first Monday in May approached, the highly anticipated 2024 Met Gala finally arrived; A-list celebrities gathered for the pinnacle of fashion and elegance, strutting down the -this time- green carpet, adorned with the most exquisite natural-diamond jewellery. With each step up the grand staircase of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they redefined glamour and sophistication, making this event a true spectacle of style and opulence, as always.
The Costume Institute’s forthcoming exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” complimented this year’s Met Gala theme and dress code, “The Garden of Time.” Fairy-tale florals and ethereal natural diamond creatures covered the Met steps on the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Lily James, Gigi Hadid and more.
One of the co-chairs of the 2024 Met Gala, Jennifer Lopez wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown with epic natural diamond jewellery from Tiffany and Co. Schlumberger and the Tiffany Celéste Collection. Each piece is set in platinum complete with a 20-carat natural diamond at the centre.
The Natural Diamond Council’s very own Global Ambassador, Lily James looked radiant in a custom gown from Erdem, complete with whimsical natural diamond jewellery from Boucheron’s Plume de Paon collection.
Actress Alia Bhatt wore a custom Sabyasachi Sari as well as Sabyasachi jewels complete with old mine-cut natural diamonds as well as morganite, tourmalines, and an array of cocktail rings.
Isha Ambani wore a hand-embroidered couture sari gown from designer Rahul Mishra and complemented her look with traditional lotus hand bracelets (Haathpochas), parrot earrings, and a floral choker designed by Viren Bhagat.
Cardi B wore an insane natural diamond and emerald suite, paired with a showstopping gown, so voluminous it covered the whole carpet.
Dua Lipa‘s latest album, Radical Optimism, was released a few days ahead of the Met Gala, leading her to be on cloud nine and looking radiant. The singer arrived alongside Marc Jacobs, wearing a custom gown from the designer. She paired her look with Tiffany and Co. natural diamond jewels, including a pinky ring, cluster earrings, and a diamond spike starburst necklace.
Sebastian Stan looked handsome in an all-black ensemble, paired with three vintage brooches from Cartier worn on his waistband.
Jeff Goldblum wore a collection of Tiffany and Co. Schlumberger natural diamond brooches, including a Jean Schlumberger Bird on a Rock pin. Adding a pair of glasses hanging from his pocket, Goldblum completed his eccentric look, in case he wanted to change the glasses he was already wearing.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid looked regal, taking notes from Old Hollywood in a gown by Thom Browne, paired with a Chopard white natural diamond tennis necklace featuring canary diamond drops and matching pale yellow natural diamond drop earrings.
