It's a tradition many enjoy, especially with the UK switching to daylight savings time, offering a delightful wait for arrivals and colorful, thematic decor. This year's theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, with a dress code inspired by The Garden of Time, added to the event's magical atmosphere, with some of the best outfits seen in years gracing the green carpet, itself adorned in ethereal green and delicate foliage.
Interiors Eye at the Gala
Apart from just establishing the item, an interior design is necessary for many to see the beauties of the place and how they use them in their residential or commercial space. The theme is strikingly similar to the modern interior design standards from the jewel-toned colors, nature-inspired influences, and romantic fairytale-like styles, some of the popular ones to date. Where fashion and interior design meet, they become symbiotic as the colors, brands, and trends spotted in nature reflect those loved by the interiors. There was no way of knowing that iconic paint brand Farrow & Ball would also be in on it, developing particular color and pattern patterns inspired by the best looks of the 2024 Met Gala.
