Was Anna Wintour compelled to include more tables at the Met Gala this year? The steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York seemed especially crowded on May 6th, filled with A-list Hollywood stars wearing a variety of artistic outfits. Not everyone fully embraced the theme of "The Garden of Time," but overall, the celebrities dressed well, from understated elegance to bold and extravagant looks.
With a nature-inspired theme, the evening saw some stars surprisingly opting for neutrals.
Nicole Kidman shared the story behind her black and white Balenciaga gown, while Cardi B stole the show in a black Windowsen gown that almost covered the museum steps. Flesh-toned dresses were also popular, with Pamela Anderson in Oscar de la Renta and Lizzo in a custom gown by Victor Weinsanto.
Among the stars who wore color beautifully were Nicki Minaj in a daring yellow Marni dress and Shakira in a Carolina Herrera gown and cape in the house's signature "Herrera Red.

The biggest surprise of the night came from co-chair Zendaya, who graced the red carpet with not one but two gowns: a custom design from Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano and a vintage piece by Galliano from his first season at Givenchy in 1996. Whether playing with garden motifs or exploring unique trends, the best Met Gala looks shared elegance with a touch of drama.
From Nicole Kidman in Balenciaga to Colman Domingo in Willy Chavarria, the night was filled with 15 stunning outfits that struck the perfect balance of style and sophistication.
Each look made a unique statement, capturing the essence of the evening in a different way.
