AceShowbiz - The Metropolitan Museum of Art's red carpet transformed into a dazzling garden of celebrities for the 2024 Met Gala, an event that not only highlighted fashion's ability to reinvent and inspire but also celebrated icons like Jennifer Lopez.
At 54, Lopez, a quintessential Renaissance woman in entertainment, embodied the gala's theme "The Garden of Time" with a sparkling custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown that captured the essence of "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
As co-chair of the event, alongside luminaries such as Zendaya Coleman, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, Lopez's choice of a see-through bejeweled dress paired with Tiffany & Co. jewels set a high bar for the evening.
