Touted by many as fashion’s biggest night out, the Met Gala is held in New York City every year on the first Monday in May. Although it is officially a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, those lucky enough to snag an invite are expected to bring their A-game to the red carpet. This year the Met Gala’s theme was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”, and while it was interpreted in various different creative ways, many of our faves pulled off stunning looks.
As always, one of the best parts of any red carpet event for us is critiquing the fashion hits and misses while relaxing at home in sweatpants. And just like we did for the 2024 awards season, we’ve recreated some of our favorite looks for those of us who are balling on a budget. Bring the red carpet to your closet with these looks without breaking the bank!
