Fashion’s biggest night has arrived, and celebrities have touched down in New York to attend the MET Gala, an annual fundraising extravaganza held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Every year we anticipate what our most beloved celebrities will wear, and we’re always enamored with how brilliantly they conceptualize the theme of the event.

With past themes including “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” and most recently “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” this year celebs will show off their interpretation of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which will emphasize “the sensory experience behind clothes and their transitory nature.”

The event, which is strictly invite only, and co-chaired by Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour since 1995, dress code is “The Garden of Time,”- a nod to the 1962 J.G. Ballard short story.

Last year, paying tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld who significantly influenced the fashion industry, celebrities brought their A-game in tweeds, pearls and 3-D floral ensembles.

From Rihanna who showed up fashionably late in Valentino alongside her beau A$AP Rocky dripped in Gucci, to Jeremy Pope who offered an illustrated touch in his Karl Balmain cape, the avant-garde and unconventional looks were in a multitude and endless.

Ahead, see our Top 10 celebrities who ‘ate and left no crumbs’ at the MET Gala last year!

Rihanna Posed in a $1,300 The Attico Lace Camisole with $1,410 Black The Attico Snap Button Jeans

The brainchild of Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, The Attico brand has been Rihanna’s go-to designer as of late, and recently she was spotted posing next to her bestie Melissa Forde, and sister-in-law in a lace camisole and button-up trousers from the Italian luxury brand.

The lace layered camisole that RiRi wore retails for $1,300 and has a v-neckline with a wavy texture. Transparent to the eye, the camisole has a nude built in bra, taking part in the sheer fashion trend.

Adding a nice touch to her ensemble, the ‘Fenty Beauty’ founder paired her tank with $1,410 black studded convertible low-rise straight jeans.

With cargo jeans on the horizon, her jeans looked innovatively made with silver buttons that opened to create her own slits and cutouts.

We thought Rihanna looked superb, and if there’s one thing Rihanna is going to layer a fierce outfit with, it’s a leopard coat.

Exuding power, strength and confidence in her leopard fur coat, the Barbadian princess looked like she was on a quest to take over the kingdom of the jungle.

Her $4,200 black Loewe Intrecciato leather clutch showcased exceptional Italian craftsmanship, and her pointy toe stilettos completed her look.

We thought Rihanna looked captivating, modern and beautiful in The Attico look that she opted for during a night out with her girls!

Beyoncé was recently captured in Japan promoting her latest album ‘Cowboy Carter,’ and Queen B didn’t come to play.

The ‘Bodyguard’ singer took an unprecedented turn from her fringe inspired looks and wore a Chloe Fall/Winter ’24 look, styled by Shiona Turini that was sizzling haute.

Mimicking the exact same runway look, Beyoncé brought her outfit to life. With her accentuated curves, the lace Chloe bodysuit fit like a glove, and her statement belt was the moment.

Bey’s nude cape with plaid lining felt avant-garde and added drama to an already fascinating ensemble.

Chloe’s Fall 2024 Ready-to-wear collection was designed by Chemena Kamali, and had 70’s influences. When speaking of her Chloe runway debut this past February, Kamli expressed, “This collection goes back to the late 1970’s era of the house that I feel so connected to. A time that was about a natural femininity. Sensual, effortlessly powerful and free.”

Jay-Z was right by Beyoncé’s side in Japan and while in commute to their next destination, he held on to Bey’s hand in admiration with a loving gaze.

Who would the ‘Cowboy Carter’ singer be if she didn’t take off the cape and add a brown cowboy hat? She seamlessly transformed her Chloe runway look into a brown monochromatic cowboy outfit that embodied high fashion and ultra sex appeal.

Beyoncé looked absolutely incredible in her Chloe Fall/Winter ’24 look, and she continues to remind us that with her beauty, angelic voice, and raw style- she is a triple threat!

7 Memorable Ways to Present a Lab-Created Diamond Engagement Ring

When you finally find the one with whom you can spend the rest of your life, proposing becomes more than just asking a question…

When you finally find the one with whom you can spend the rest of your life, proposing becomes more than just asking a question; it becomes an experience that will remain in both your minds forever. Since lab created diamonds have become synonymous with sustainability, ethics, and beauty in jewelry, presentations for lab grown diamond engagement rings should be individualistic and special, like the stones themselves. 

Below are some memorable ways of presenting lab created diamond engagement rings.

  1. A Personal Touch: Customizing the Moment

Customize your proposal based on who your partner is, what they like, and what they do for fun. It may involve setting up a private art gallery where moments in your relationship might be featured or even a treasure hunt leading to nowhere other than the hidden ring. Creating this personal touch makes it an experience that belongs only to you.

  1. Adventure Awaits: The Great Outdoors

Mother Nature offers an idyllic backdrop for marriage proposals. Imagine bending down on one knee beside a calm lake or on top of a lofty mountain at sunset. Natural light will make your lab grown diamond sparkle a little more, like the stars in the sky at night.

  1. A Surprise Home Makeover

Make your house into a proposal paradise. Imagine an apartment filled with candles and photographs, with a path of rose petals leading to a cozy corner where the ring awaits. It is unexpected as well intimate, and it’s a place that you could always return to because each time you come home, it reminds you of that day.

  1. Tech-Savvy Surprise

Tech-savvy couples could bring their lab grown diamond proposal into a futuristic setting. Have a custom video, surprise virtual reality experience, or original message in drone display, making this proposal one you will never forget.

  1. Woven into Daily Life

There is beauty in everyday life. Hiding the ring inside his workout gloves or using it as an impromptu bookmark between pages will definitely catch your partner by surprise. It’s about magic that encompasses two people building lives together.

  1. The Old Classics: Dinner and a Twist

Dinner date proposals don’t always have to be boring. Take it up several notches with a private chef or an undisclosed rooftop locale, or end it with a post-dessert flash mob. Even in the poshest settings, no sparkle compares to this lab created diamond given after proposing.

  1. A Nod to the Past

Go back in time and recreate your first date or the day that changed everything for both of you. This is perfect for showing how much distance has been covered while looking forward to share future plans.

Conclusion: Sealing Your Sparkling Moment

An engagement ring, especially one so personal as a lab created diamond, indicates commitment not only to each other but also to mutual values. Your proposal would resonate well with this idea if you chose a sustainable, ethical, modern lab-created diamond.

Remember that the perfect proposal is not about extravagant displays but an authentic declaration of love. Whether grand and dramatic or simple and sweet, this will be one of those moments that stands out in memory, like unique engagement rings handpicked with love and care.
