Stella McCartney is joined by Cara Delevingne, FKA Twigs and Ed Sheeran on the Met Gala 2024 red carpet – each in custom looks referencing designs iconic to the British fashion house, from Savile Row tailoring to knitwear to embroidery. Handcrafted from 100% sustainable materials, the pieces are inspired by the brand’s Winter 2024 collection and the Costume Institute’s Spring 2024 theme, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’.
Actress, eco-activist and Cabaret star Cara Delevingne wore a custom-made hooded and backless bodice hand-embroidered with over 500 carats of sustainably created diamonds over a draping and ruched skirt with platinum platform sandals from the Spring 2024 collection and tennis bracelets using created diamonds.
Ahead of her new album release, singer-songwriter and dancer FKA Twigs walked the Met steps in a custom cascading cloak hand-knit from Stella McCartney’s Winter 2024 runway show. The knitwear drapes over a delicate bodice and hotpants, hand-embroidered with matrixes of created diamonds. The look is finished with an iconic Falabella bag, embellished in lead-free crystals.
Marking his Met Gala debut, multiple GRAMMY-winning superstar Ed Sheeran showed up in bespoke soft blue iconic Savile Row tuxedo tailoring with cummerbund details inspired by the Summer 2024 runway collection. He additionally wore vegan black dress shoes from the Stella McCartney menswear archive as well as VRAI created diamond cufflinks and a bowtie, also encrusted with created diamonds.
Stella also joined the red Carpet in custom cream iconic Savile Row tailoring with padded shoulders and flowing trousers over a created diamond-embroidered bodysuit, as well as white pumps, pulling the Stella McCartney Winter 2024 runway collection. She also chose a one-of-a-kind diamond-encrusted iconic Falabella bag and jewellery, co-created with VRAI using recycled solid gold and sustainably grown diamonds.
In addition to appearing on the Met Gala red carpet, Stella McCartney will also have two looks in the Costume Institute’s Spring 2024 exhibition alongside an archival floral top and skirt from the Summer 2020 collection.
