Black women sauntered and sashayed into fashion lore on the expansive green carpet at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday, May 6.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue in New York was transformed into a veritable bouquet of brilliant colors and awe-inspiring outfits by many of the biggest icons in America.
The 2024 Met Gala was a celebration of creativity and fashion expression
Cardi B marveled fans with her larger-than-life monochromatic black gown from Windowsen. The outfit was so expansive that it needed nine men to help her walk the green carpet in front of the battery of photographers.
