Emily Ratajkowski will send jaws dropping to the floor with her latest Met Gala outfit.
Tonight, the My Body author appeared on the carpeted steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in a look that interpreted this year’s “Garden of Time” dress code by leaving little to the imagination. Ratajkowski opted to wear a bejeweled naked dress, a vintage piece from Versace. The long-sleeved gown was dripping with silver crystals, and featured other glitzy details like an open back and a patterned see-through skirt.
Ratajkowski last attended the Met Gala in 2023, when she showed up in an elegant blush pink gown by Tory Burch that featured a plunging V-neckline, delicate silver trimming, a drop-waist silhouette, and a long tulle skirt.
This year's dress code is “The Garden of Time,” a concept inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same name. In essence, the theme examines the intrinsic connection between time and natural beauty—leaving the door wide open for attendees to interpret the dress code as they please.
“The Garden of Time” also complements the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which will include about “250 objects spanning four centuries” from the Institute's vast collection, all of them “visually united by iconography related to nature, which will serve as a metaphor for the fragility and ephemerality of fashion,” according to a press release. The exhibition will feature a number of modern technologies in its display, too, “from cutting-edge tools, artificial intelligence, and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.”
