Gigi Hadid, an eight-time attendee of the Met Gala, has showcased a variety of different looks on the event’s red carpet since her first appearance in 2015. From campy to futuristic themes, Hadid has proven her versatility and fashion prowess over the years. As the 2024 Met Gala approaches on May 6, Vogue takes a look back at some of Hadid’s best red carpet ensembles from her previous appearances at the prestigious event.
Hadid’s Met Gala fashion journey began in 2015 with a red DVF gown featuring a plunging neckline and high slit for the “China: Through the Looking Glass” theme. The following year, she embraced a space-age look for the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme in a Tommy Hilfiger dress with a spangled corset, adding a touch of extraterrestrial glamour to her ensemble.
In subsequent years, Hadid’s Met Gala looks became more elaborate and theatrical. For the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” theme in 2017, she wore a champagne-colored Tommy Hilfiger gown with an asymmetrical tulle train. One of her most glamorous moments came in 2018 for the “Heavenly Bodies” exhibition, where she stunned in a stained glass window-inspired gown by Versace that resembled a true piece of art.
In 2019, Hadid channeled the camp theme with a Michael Kors Collection ensemble, featuring a silvery jumpsuit, matching cape, boots, and headpiece. The following year, she opted for a strapless gown by Prada with a back slit and leather opera gloves, striking a perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern style. In 2022, she wowed in a puffer coat-inspired gown in crimson red by Donatella Versace, followed by an edgy black Givenchy corseted gown with a sweeping sheer train in 2023.
As the anticipation for the 2024 Met Gala builds, it’s certain that Hadid will once again bring a show-stopping look to the red carpet. With her track record of experimenting with different fashion identities and keeping audiences guessing, Hadid continues to embody the essence of the Met Gala. Her ability to adapt to various themes and push fashion boundaries sets her apart as a true style icon and one to watch at future Met Galas.
