\n\tFresh off her Coachella headlining gig, Lana Del Rey dropped jaws at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday night (May 6), marking her first appearance since 2018 and taking the \u201cGarden of Time\u201d dress code to the next level.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe \u201cYoung and Beautiful\u201d star walked the red carpet in a custom beige gown Se\u00e1n McGirr, and the one-shoulder dress was lined with what appears to be branches down the entire bodice. The branches stretched into a headpiece with a beige mesh veil draped across her face. She accessorized the outfit by holding a single red rose.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe event\u2019s dress code is \u201cThe Garden of Time,\u201d inspired by a 1962 J.G. Ballard short story of the same name.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis year\u2019s theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, is set to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute\u2019s permanent collection, according to an Instagram post announcing the theme back in November. \u201cFrom a 17th century English Elizabethan-era bodice and Christian Dior\u2019s famous Junon and Venus ballgowns, to 21st century acquisitions by designers including Phillip Lim, Stella McCartney, and Conner Ives, the core exhibit will span 400 years of history,\u201d the caption reads.
