Lea Michele stole the show at the 2024 Met Gala, looking absolutely stunning in a romantic Rodarte aqua gown with a tulle cape. The 37-year-old actress embodied pure elegance as she embraced the event’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
The Met Gala is known for its elaborate and thematic dress code, and this year, the theme was inspired by J.G. Ballard’s story, “The Garden of Time.” Michele’s choice of attire perfectly encapsulated the essence of the theme, as she embodied a modern-day princess on the red carpet.
The upcoming Costume Institute exhibit, which the gala celebrates, promises to showcase a wide array of historical fashion pieces, including a remarkable 1877 Charles Frederick Worth silk satin ball gown. The exhibit will span over 400 years of fashion history, offering a walk through time for fashion enthusiasts.
Michele, who is expecting her second child with husband Zandy Reich, embraced her baby bump with grace and style. She announced her pregnancy through an Instagram post back in March and has since been proudly displaying her growing belly at various events.
From the 2024 Hope Rising Benefit to the Met Gala, Michele has been glowing at every turn. Her red carpet appearances have been nothing short of flawless, with each outfit accentuating her radiant beauty. Whether she’s rocking a backless red halterneck Michael Kors dress or a silver open-back Michael Kors Collection gown from the previous year’s Met Gala, Michele’s fashion choices have been on point.
Michele’s return to the Met Gala after a nine-year hiatus has been a triumphant one, showcasing her evolution in style and grace. Her iconic looks from past years have solidified her status as a fashion icon, with each appearance capturing the essence of the event.
