The November 2024 Cover of Vanity Fair with Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Cynthia’s cover is OK. Ariana’s is terribly bad!” shrieked DK92 upon checking out the covers.

“Bewitched? No. Bothered and bewildered? Yes,” laughed forum member KoV.

“The joint cover looks like a lighting test,” critiqued Lucien112.

Also not buying it was Kenny, commenting: “I wish Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande had fully embraced their characters for this cover especially since they’re promoting Wicked. It’s obvious this isn’t a fashion magazine but I can’t help but wish they had taken a different approach on set. Maybe a more colorful backdrop?”

“All of them are awful, and Cynthia should sue,” declared mepps.

“Ariana Grande’s expressions are atrocious. She always seems to be trying way too hard, and that blonde doesn’t do her ANY favors. This whole Wicked portfolio feels perfectly suitable and appropriate for Vanity Fair but it does zilch for me,” voiced vogue28.

Last night, stars from the world of fashion, film, music and entertainment were out in full force to celebrate the opening of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit.

Naturally, the most buzz-worthy spectacle on the fashion calendar generated a vast amount of show-stopping fashion moments for us to sit back and fawn over. The “The Garden of Time” dress code, inspired by a short story from 1962 of the same title by J.G. Ballard could have perhaps been interpreted in a variety of different ways. As expected, however, a whole multitude of archival magic was unearthed and florals for spring actually proved to be somewhat… groundbreaking.

Kim Kardashian requested Maison Margiela’s John Galliano create a haute couture look composed of a pale grey cashmere cardigan, a corset rewoven from antique silver brocade and a skirt in tooled silver metal evoking lace and florals. A staggering 98,000 crystals later and Anok Yai hit the famed steps of the 2024 Met Gala in a custom Swarovski creation while South African singer required a little help up the stairs, essentially donning a Balmain sand sculpture. Zendaya opted for not one but two breathtaking looks. This year’s Met Gala co-host first descended upon the event showcasing a striking ocean-blue gown by John Galliano for Maison Margiela that included a dramatic matching headpiece. The undisputed style icon later ventured up the steps again in a black archival look from Givenchy’s Spring 1996 haute couture collection (designed by the late Alexander McQueen). Inspired by a Richard Avedon photograph, Nicole Kidman asked Balenciaga’s Denma to breath new life into an original monochromatic Cristóbal Balenciaga creation from 1951 while Demi Moore hit all the right notes in a Harris Reed confection.

Needless to say, the 2024 Met Gala did not disappoint. Right here on theFashionSpot, we’ve rounded up 60+ of the most must-see looks. Scroll further for the most show-stopping fashion moments of the night:
