Met Gala Monday is basically the American version of a royal ball; our favorite celebs take to the red carpet (or in this case, cream and teal), in the most stylish and ethereal outfits we'll see this year. The 2024 Met Gala theme, Sleeping Beauties, evokes fairytale imagery and lush texture, and this year's guests did not disappoint. Here are all the looks we can't stop staring at.

Quannah Chasinghorse's periwinkle is my favorite color of the night — and the shade is the color of Alaska's forget-me-nots. I'm obsessed.
Gabrielle Union in Michael Kors

This Gabrielle Union look confirms Mermaidcore is coming back this summer ;).
Barry Keoghan in Burberry

The first thing I thought of when I saw Barry Keoghan's Met Gala red carpet look was Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice. And I love that for him.
Gigi Hadid in Thom Browne
Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue
Gigi Hadid's approach to this year's Met Gala theme is classy, timeless, and summery. I love how the contrast between the fitted bodice and the voluminous train is emphasized by the skirt's overlay. Give me more!

Wicked's leading ladies brought movie magic to the Met Gala red carpet — Ariana Grande's dress is bright and creamy with subtle rainbow detail, while Cynthia Erivo's pink flowers stand out against the dark fabric.
Brie Larson in Prada

Brie Larson's 2024 Met Gala dress might be in my top 3 looks of the night! The orange bodice and lavender overlay contrast each other in color, but the opaque vs. transparent fabrics are also contrasting — but thanks to experts at Prada, they're working together, not fighting.
Tyla in Balmain

Grammy winner Tyla took an unconventional approach to the Met Gala red carpet — instead of gardens, she went with Sands of Time. Genius! The sand beauty detail on her shoulder might just be my favorite.
Taylor Russell in Loewe

Taylor Russell's beautiful ensemble is giving tree nymph and Grecian goddess at the same time.
Jessica Biel

We know from Disney's Sleeping Beauty that Elle Fanning is basically a princess, and this airy, shimmery dress is just further proof.
Zendaya in Maison Margiela
Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue
I KNEW Zendaya wouldn't disappoint after giving us slay after slay every year. This moody look is simultaneously giving Mrs. Peacock from Clue and Clara Bow from The Tortured Poets Department in the very best way. Could this look singlehandedly launch us back into a 1930s beauty phase for the fall?
Zendaya (again) in Archival John Galliano for Givenchy
Image via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images
Zendaya shocked us all by stepping out in a second look for the Met Gala red carpet. This one is just as moody as the first and features a colorful floral headpiece.
Josh O'Connor in Loewe
Image via Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
What Josh O'Connor's Met Gala red carpet look lacks in color, it more than makes up for in detail. The coattails! The shoes! I'm obsessed.
Mike Faist in Loewe

Mike Faist kept it simple and classy at the 2024 Met Gala, and decided to accessorize with a sparkly turnip.
Gwendoline Christie In Custom Maison Margiela

After her run in Game of Thrones, it's no surprise Gwendoline Christie can balance reality and fantasy with ease. I love the Queen of Hearts vibes she's got going on.
Emma Chamberlain in custom Jean Paul Gaultier

Emma Chamberlain is one of our reigning Met Gala queens and her moody look on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet is simultaneously giving Chamberlain Coffee, "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter, and a mythical storybook witch.
Ayo Edebiri

The Bear star Ayo Edebiri's garden gown and bright blush are the exact inspo I need for 2024.
Lea Michele in Rodarte
Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue
Lea Michele (and her baby bump!) made waves at the 2024 Met Gala — and not just because the Gleestar looks like a nymph! I love the cool effect of the blue satin, especially paired with colorful flowers.
Rebecca Ferguson in Thom Browne
Image via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images
I knew we'd be getting fairytales, but leave it to Dune 2's Rebecca Ferguson to take the Grimm’s approach — dark fabric, shimmery details, and ominous birds. Revered Mother is mothering!
Jennifer Lopez In Custom Schiaparelli
Image via Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Jennifer Lopez' crystal dress absolutely reminds me of the grace of Swan Lake with some extra strength and edge to boot.
Sienna Miller, Chemena Kamali, Greta Gerwig, Emma Mackey and Zoe Saldana
Image via Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
The Barbie director went totally Oppenheimer on the Met Gala red carpet — and stepping out with Emma, Zoe, Sienna, and Chemena has me wondering if there's a new movie in the works?
Madelyn Cline in Tommy Hilfiger
Image via Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images
Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline's Met Gala look is a beautiful, creamy take on modern fairytales, and I'm going to need her airy beauty look STAT.
Sarah Jessica Parker
