Ariana Grande was definitely one of the key faces of the Met Gala 2024. To top off the evening, whose theme was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashionin honor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest Costume Institute exhibition, Ariana Grande And Cynthia Erivohis co-star in the highly anticipated film Wickedwere the surprise artists of this enchanting edition.
In front of the Temple of Dendur, in the middle of a lush, sylvan-inspired decor designed by Derek McKlane, Ariana Grande kicked off the evening solo, wearing an outfit Maison Margiela of John Galliano. A radical change from her look on the red carpet: a dress Loewe white with a beautifully sculpted bodice. The artist’s silhouette consisted of several layers: beneath a gossamer off-white crinoline, worn over a diaphanous organdy blouse embroidered with lace, was a green tulle dress draped with rosettes, gold dust sprayed at hand and embroidered crystals, all embellished with a bodysuit and a corset in pastel tones. At the feet, Ariana Grande wore the emblematic Tabis hand painted by Christian Louboutin For Maison Margiela. In terms of beauty, it’s Mimi Cuttrell And Alyx Liu who were in charge of the hair, while the makeup was done by Michael Anthony and the nails by Daniel Taverez For NailGlam.
