The Met Gala, short for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, is one of the most prestigious events in the fashion world.
It’s an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City.
Each year, the Met Gala has a theme which sets the tone for the fashion choices of the attendees.
This year’s event themed ‘The Garden of Time’ saw celebrities from the fashion, film, music, and art industries in extravagant and strange outfits.
THE WHISTLER has compiled some of the most controversial outfits worn by celebrities at the 2024 Met Gala.

She was first pictured outside at The Mark Hotel with the towel covering her body and high heels. A tag on the towel read “Dress.”
