The most eye-catching looks from the Met Gala so far

Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.

This year's Met Gala theme would not have impressed The Devil Wears Prada's demon magazine editor Miranda Priestly, but it hasn't stopped a string of stars from walking the red carpet in their garden-inspired garments.

A-listers were invited to be imaginative with the 2024 dress code, The Garden of Time, inspired by a short story of the same name by JG Ballard.

Some stars took it quite literally, taking inspiration from flowers, petals and leaves, while others played around with the short story's themes of time and history.

Here are some of the most eye-catching outfits so far.

A glowing Lea Michelle walked the carpet wearing a Rodarte aqua gown with a tulle cape, two months after announcing she was pregnant for the second time.

The Glee star and her husband Zandy Reich, who have a three-year-old son, Ever Leo, said they were "overjoyed" to be expecting again.

The Bear actress Ayo Edebiri and Schitt's Creek star Dan Levy both opted to keep their floral designs on the down low, with outfits that looked traditional from the top but bloomed from the waist down.

Edebiri wore a backless column dress with a hand-embroidered floral pattern intended to create the illusion of blossoming.

Similarly, Levy wore what looked like a classic suit from the top half, but which faded a into bright floral motif lower down.

The Game of Thrones star looked as if she had come straight from appearing as the evil queen in a fairytale.

Wearing a striking red dress with a black sheer striped cape designed Maison Margiela, Christie is surely firmly on the radar for Tim Burton's next movie.

The actress, who recently starred in Dune 2 and Challengers, is one of the co-chairs of this year's Met Gala.

Wearing a John Galliano creation based on a 1999 Dior dress, Zendaya was striking in a royal blue and emerald green dress, with embellishments which looked as if they were inspired by fruit trees.

Gigi Hadid is no stranger to the Met Gala – in fact, the event arguably isn't complete without her.

This year, the model wore a flowing white Thom Browne gown, with an eye-catching pattern of yellow roses.

Why dress to look like flowers and trees, when you could pay tribute to the birds who fly among them?

When actress Rebecca Ferguson first appeared at the Met Gala, she was draped in a plain black cloak.

But the star later opened it up to reveal a beautiful Thom Browne gown decorated with black ravens – a memorable look for her first Met.
