The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City played host to the high-profile Met Gala 2024 on Monday evening (Tuesday morning in India).
This year's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the dress code, "The Garden of Time," drew inspiration from a J.G. Ballard short story from 1962.
The event was marked by a significant presence from India, with several renowned figures making their mark.
