This Monday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was the location for the gathering of world-renowned celebrities at the Met Gala, one of the most prominent events in fashion.
The fundraising party for this latest edition was titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" and was inspired by the short story by writer J.G. Ballard, "The Garden of Time." The attire was meant to be inspired by nature and the passage of time.
Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth were the distinguished co-hosts who joined Vogue editor Anna Wintour to lead this world-renowned fashion event, and they all turned heads and made Vogue's list of best dresses.
Zendaya stood out by impressing in two dresses: a custom Margiela and a vintage Givenchy from the spring 1996 collection. Jennifer Lopez dazzled in a stunning Schiaparelli dress, while Bad Bunny wore a beautiful Margiela suit and Chris Hemsworth wore a Tom Ford suit.

While Lana Del Rey, Tyla and Alexander McQueen chose looks with much more avant-garde selections.
Among the best dressed men of the night were Josh O'Connor (Loewe), Morgan Spector (Willy Chaverria) and Stefon Diggs (H&M).
However, some looks generated controversy in this edition. Lizzo opted for a striking brown dress that stretched over her head, apparently representing a tree. Kylie Jenner received criticism for her choice, considered "disappointing," and Pamela Anderson captured attention with her extravagant hairstyle.
