Like a beautiful yellow/green-colored butterfly flying freely in the skies of Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, NYC! Maria Sharapova ran the show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute during the Met Gala 2024 event with her gorgeous outfit. She wore a stunning Prabal Gurung gown that was inspired by both the ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ exhibition of the MOMA and the event’s dress code ‘Garden of Time’, a short story by J.G Ballard. This time, Maria Sharapova walked the red carpet solo without her fiance Alexander Gilkes. However, they were caught in a cheeky interaction just a few moments before she attended this red-carpet event.
In an Instagram post before her Met Gala appearance, she was seen in a playful mood with her comfy bedding. Sharapova captioned those pictures stating, “Wakey wakey …it’s the morning of the Met Gala! Everything is a little extra glamorous (stilettos in bed, anyone??) and cozy. And soft thanks to the team @bollandbranch that outfitted my hotel room in the most gorgeous and sustainably sourced bedding. Housekeeping may find a very naked bed upon check out.” Her fiance Alexander Gilkes was among the first to react to this post stating, “Bedcarpet.”
Her yellow-tiered dress was paired with a sweeping lime green jacket and flowers in her sleek updo. The Russian tennis diva looked absolutely stunning with her sported smoky shadow and taupe lipstick. The look not only portrayed her beauty along with her magnificent fashion sense but also marked a groundbreaking collaboration with a bedding brand.
The gown was crafted from Summit Supima, a rare cotton fabric used by Boll and Branch, touted as the ‘world’s most luxurious fabric.’ This was in fact the first time that a bedding brand has graced the Met Gala. What did Maria Sharapova have to say about her stunning look at the 2024 Met Gala?
During an interview, the Russian tennis beauty heaped praise on Prabal Gurung for making such a gorgeous costume. “Prabal has designed such beautiful pieces for the Met Gala in previous years. So it felt like a very natural choice and very much in theme with this year’s Met Gala, which is all about reawakening and flowers and the forest.”
She further went on to add that it’s somewhat like, “The perfect dress for an occasion like the Met Gala, where you can do a little bit more. And it’s the ultimate place to play dress-up. It’s somewhat of a fairytale, especially if you’re leaning into the theme of the occasion.”
Maria Sharapova revealed that she usually prefers to wear neutral tones in her everyday life. But she felt nice to explore different colors and try something pretty much “unusual” this time around. Share your thoughts on Maria Sharapova’s look from Met Gala 2024,
