Along with regulars like Zendaya, Cardi B and Kendall Jenner, the 2024 Met Gala also featured actress Meg Ryan's big return to the fashion event after 23 years. 

Ryan looked ageless as she arrived on the iconic carpet in a stunning sleeveless black gown from designer Michael Kors with a sheer top covered in sequined floral embellishments that swirled down the rest of the dress in a reference to the "Garden of Time" theme. 

While she accessorized in colorful jewelry, the 62-year-old went for a simple makeup look and wore her hair in her signature wavy bob. At one point, designer Kors joined her for some photos, with the two posing in matching dark sunglasses. The actress looked relaxed and confident at the event, surrounded by other guests like Dua Lipa and Gabrielle Union.

The Sleepless in Seattle star's appearance at the 2024 event marks her first time attending the Met Gala since 2001 when the theme was "Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years."

At the time, Ryan experienced extreme success in her career after making her mark as the queen of romantic comedies, with the hit film You've Got Mail, also starring Tom Hanks, coming out only a few years before in 1998.

Over two decades later, Ryan has made her return to both the Met Gala and romantic movies, starring in the 2023 film What Happens Later with David Duchovny. The two play exes who reconnect after getting snowed in at an airport.

With any luck, Ryan will continue to act in more projects and maybe make a return to the Met Gala next year with a new look.

Instead of dressing to the nines ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, Chrissy Teigen donned a neck brace.

On Monday, May 6, the model and cookbook author took to her Instagram Story with a pair of concerning photos showing her in a white cervical collar. "@the Met!" she joked in one photo while confessing in another, "I tried to do a headstand."

Teigen's picture update clearly concerned fans, as she soon returned with a pair of video clarifications.

"Oh my god, I'm fine. Everybody is reaching out. I'm OK," she said to the camera. "It's a CVS neck band. And I just can't rotate my neck because I tried to do a headstand, and it didn't go well. That's all. There's no story, I promise."

OMG, Chrissy. pic.twitter.com/hVJBieeA1L

— Reality TV 4Lyfe (@realitytv4lyfe) May 7, 2024

Teigen later added, "This is not why I'm not at the Met. I was never going to the Met this year. Please. I'm so stupid for having made this a thing."

It's been a minute since she attended the fundraising event for The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2017, Teigen and her husband, John Legend, last walked the red carpet ahead of the Met Gala while sporting coordinating cream-colored looks.

Back then, Teigen and Legend only had one child. The couple now has four kids—Luna, 8, Miles, almost 6, Esti, 16 months, and Wren, 11 months—making it a tad more difficult to slip away for the red-carpet event. Either that or they just opted out/didn't get an invite.

Whatever the reason for Teigen to sit out the 2023 Met Gala, we're glad it's not because of a serious neck injury!

A photo of Rihanna from the Met Gala is circulating online, but the Queen of the event wasn't even in attendance.

Year after year, the "Diamonds" hitmaker stuns in perfectly themed ensembles that hit it out of the park for the annual event, turning heads as she makes her (usually fashionably late) appearance on the red carpet.

But unfortunately, this year was different, as the mom of two never showed up. Still, that didn't stop fans from creating an AI image of what her interpretation of the theme may have been. Alongside it, an AI photo of Katy Perry, who was also not in attendance.

For the 2024 function, held traditionally on the first Monday of May at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rihanna was nowhere in sight, as fans and viewers of the high profile function awaited her arrival.

According to People, who received intel from a source, the reason she skipped out on the outing is due to an illness—it seems she is feeling under the weather after coming down with the flu.

The Bajan billionaire had previously teased her ensemble during a Fenty Beauty event in April, saying she planned to keep it "very simple."

The Met Gala—also called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit and also known as the Met Ball—is an annual charity event and fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.

The event's theme was "The Garden of Time," and the dress code was inspired by the 2024 Costume Institute exhibit, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," which will open on May 10 and features 250 items from the department's permanent collection.

While Rihanna was one of the event's cohosts in 2018, this year's lineup included Zendaya, who sported two different looks, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth, and Bad Bunny.

As expected, the 2024 Met Gala's "Garden of Time" dress code drew plenty of floral ensembles to the red carpet. But no look is complete without a hairdo or headpiece to complement it (especially if you're Sarah Jessica Parker).

Kim Kardashian arrived at the 2024 Met Gala ready to pose for photographers in a stunning display that had fans wondering how she could even breathe. 

On Monday, May 6, Kardashian walked the red carpet while donning a Maison Margiela corset and a John Galliano cardigan. 

The mother of four’s look appeared to fit in with this year’s gala theme, “The Garden of Time,” thanks to her silver metal skirt that featured flowers and leaves. The Met Gala's theme serves as a nod to the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, which this year is called Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

On X, fans slammed Kardashian's corseted look, which cinched her waist to an impossibly tiny size. 

One person declared, "umm her poor intestines," while another pointed out, "She looks like she’s about to pass out," in a video of Kardashian posing for photos.

Meanwhile, another X user declared, "Literally so gross she can’t even close her mouth bc she can’t breathe. Such a gross beauty standard to set."

Someone else predicted, "She’s 100% going to have bruises all around her body."

After the 2024 Met Gala's theme was revealed, some social media users suggested its focus on “the fragility and ephemerality of fashion” could be a subtle dig at Kardashian inspired by her 2022 Met Gala outfit. That year, she wore one of Marilyn Monroe’s famous dresses and sparked rumors that she had damaged the gown while wearing it.

Despite the theory that spread on TikTok earlier this year, some detractors said the thought of the event theme being a nod to Kardashian’s 2022 outfit choice was “such a stretch."

Ahead of the 2024 Met Gala, Cardi B explained that her strategy was to “be iconic”—as always, she more than delivered on that promise.

Known for pushing the boundaries of fashion, the “Punteria” rapper turned heads as she stepped out in a striking gown for the high-fashion event. This year, Cardi wore an all-black strapless dress with a huge skirt that fanned out around her and literally took over the entire carpet.

The gown also featured a fluttery neckline that defied gravity, forming a V to frame the stunning diamond and emerald necklace and earrings Cardi wore. As the rapper changed angles to pose for other photographers on the carpet, nine people had to work together to lift and move the dress' massive skirt.

— Entertainment Tonight (@etnow) May 7, 2024

The look has been months in the making, thanks to her stylist Kollin Carter, as the duo worked tirelessly to pay tribute to the evening's theme celebrating the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the official dress code “The Garden of Time."

“We’re always thinking ahead,” the 31-year-old previously told The Hollywood Reporter, adding, “We always try to make sure that everything goes right, that everything be iconic. We want everything to be iconic. I know people sometimes be like, ‘Oh, it’s not about who is there and who is not,’ but it’s like, no, you need to remember us forever.”

Cardi—full name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar—made her debut at the Met Gala in 2018, paying tribute to the “Heavenly Bodies” theme in a bedazzled regal Moschino gown—escorted by the designer Jeremy Scott—as she cradled her growing baby bump.

She upstaged herself the following year, delivering a head-turning look in a burgundy Thom Browne gown accentuated with feathers, a bedazzled headpiece, and a quilted train.

In 2022, Cardi put her curves on display in a chain link gold dress by Atelier Versace, while last year’s look paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld, as her tuxedo top billowed out into a skirt with massive black flowers—a look she completed with a sleek gray wig.

The 2024 installment of the annual event took place on Monday, May 6, with hosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth.

After reminding fans last week of her 2023 Met Gala ’fit, Kylie Jenner raised the stakes for this year’s event with a dazzling display that found immediate success in turning heads.

The Kardashians star was one of many celebrities expected to attend the 2024 Met Gala on Mon., May 6. She arrived dressed to the nines, exuding pure Hollywood glamour in a cream-colored sleeveless gown.

The body-hugging dress, which could easily pass for a modern bridal gown, featured cone breasts and a bustled train. The reality star opted for natural glam with her dark hair slicked back into an updo with a flower pinned to the left side.

Her gown was a stark contrast to the sweeping red number she wore at last year’s gala. When Jenner, 26, arrived at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art to be photographed on the red carpet in 2023, the 26-year-old stunned in a bright red gown that featured a long trail and daring slit. Jenner’s dress last year also featured a bold neckline, with her left arm encased in one long red sleeve that stretched up to encircle her neck, leaving the top of her chest, her right shoulder, and her entire right arm free of fabric.

Jenner's sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, were also in attendance at this year's Met, along with her mother and momager Kris Jenner, whose date for the evening was longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble. 

Fans were disappointed that Jenner did not make her red carpet debut with Timothée Chalamet, though there are rumors that the beauty mogul and the Dune actor have already ended their short-lived romance. 

Rumors about a budding relationship between the reality TV star and the Wonka actor first sparked last spring. Jenner and Chalamet, 28, finally confirmed they were dating when they were seen sharing an intimate moment while attending one of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour shows in Southern California in September 2023. In the months that have followed, the two have been spotted attending multiple public events and awards shows together.

Demi Moore surprised fans with her bold flowery 2024 Met Gala dress that perfectly evoked the "Garden" aspect of the "Garden of Time" theme. 

The Feud actress arrived at this year's Met Gala in New York City wearing a dress by designer Harris Reed, who also stunned in a beautiful outfit at the event, that was made of vintage wallpaper, velvet and silk, with pink peonies adorning the skirt and the large panels forming her "wings" for the night. 

Halfway up the steps, Moore's dress changed, with the top making up the wings and fanned accents coming off to show a strapless top that allowed the focus to go to the Chloris necklace and earrings from Cartier. Moore was the first person to ever wear the stunning jewelry.

"Demi Moore eating everyone up so far 🤩 #MetGala," someone immediately declared after seeing Moore on her way to the Met, and plenty of people agreed, with replies like, "From where we’re born! another perfect theme hit yes!" and "Demi Moore you understood the assignment! Beautiful."

"QUEEN of the night!! Congratulations," wrote a third.

Of course, there were a few critics of the daring look who felt like it was too bold, like one who commented, "These are actually my least faves, they feel like costumes ):." 

"The dress is exceptional but her hair is so astoundingly boring," said someone who felt like the look was missing something, as another reacted, "Sometimes the dress wears you #GlamourDont."

Moore joined a slew of other big names who attended the 2024 Met Gala wearing their take on the "Garden of Time" theme, including co-chair for the night Zendaya, as well as Doja Cat, Ayo Edibiri, and more.

Kelsea Ballerini rocked one of her most romantic looks yet at the 2024 Met Gala.

The "IF YOU GO DOWN (I'M GOIN' DOWN TOO)" songstress graced the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 6, in a nude-colored gown with pink and purple flowers cascading down it. A matching shawl covered in the same flowers completed her ensemble, making her practically dripping with floral.

She took the eye-catching ensemble to the next level with her glowing face of glam, which we're told she achieved with a bit of help from Bondi Sands' Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum and the brand's award-winning Tinted Skin Perfector. As for her hair, she styled in a low updo with longer pieces in the front and adorned with more flowers.

The 30-year-old country star's boyfriend of nearly two years, Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes, was also in attendance. He walked the red carpet while wearing a shimmery black suit jacket and pants with no shirt underneath.

The theme of this year's Costume Institute Benefit event is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the dress code is "The Garden of Time." And no, neither is a nod to Disney. "Sleeping beauties" is surprisingly not a reference to the famous princess but instead, to the fact that the dresses from this year's exhibition are lying in cases because they're too fragile and special to be worn or hung on mannequins.

This bunny may be bad, yet Bad Bunny's net worth is anything but. After being named one of TIME’s Most Influential People in 2020 and being the first non-English language act to become the most streamed artist on Spotify (for two years in a row!), Bad Bunny—real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—has the world at his feet. You have to wonder, what is Bad Bunny’s net worth with all of this success?

And we didn’t even mention his appearances in the WWE! The Puerto Rican artist has taken the movie world by storm, too. He made his movie debut in 2021’s F9, followed that up with the Brad Pitt action movie Bullet Train. Most recently, he was in 2023's Cassandro.

In 2024, he adds a Met Gala co-chair role to his credits, joining Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth alongside Vogue's Anna Wintour. 

Here is everything you could ever wonder about Bad Bunny’s net worth in 2024.

What's Bad Bunny's net worth in 2024?

Ah yes, the question of the hour! According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bad Bunny’s net worth in 2024 is $50 million. Considering the fact that he has become one of the most streamed artists in the world—often the most streamed—with his songs totaling over 14.8 billion plays and counting, it’s no surprise Bad Bunny is rolling in money. Plus, he now has acting roles and appearances in the WWE to add to his growing fortune.

How much money does Bad Bunny make per concert?

Pollstar estimates that Bad Bunny earns as much as $4.1 million for each performance. However, keep in mind that all of this money would not go directly to the singer, as there are many people who earn a percentage of this performance money.

How much does Bad Bunny make on Spotify?

Bad Bunny has over 58 billion streams on Spotify, putting him in the top five most-streamed artists of all time in the platform's history. One calculation values that at over $280 million. However, keep in mind that this money does not go directly into Bad Bunny’s pocket. He has to pay a percentage to his label, for instance. Even so, because he is often the most streamed artist on the platform, Bad Bunny has been able to earn a pretty penny from Spotify.

How much does Bad Bunny make per year?

Because Bad Bunny had a meteoric rise in a relatively short period of time, we cannot know exactly how much the artist makes in a year. This is especially true as the number will be changing frequently as his star power continues to grow. However, it has been reported that he makes over $4 million annually. Not bad for a year’s work!

How much does Bad Bunny make per album?

It is not known exactly how much Bad Bunny makes per album. Because of streaming, artists can be earning money on their entire discography each year. However, it has been reported that Bad Bunny has earned over $20 million from his songs and albums. As of May 2024, he has reached 86,316,000 equivalent album sales, with his best-selling album, Un Verano Sin Ti, selling over 16,287,000 copies.

How much did Bad Bunny get paid for WWE?

Bad Bunny and the WWE have not publicized how much the artist makes per appearance in the WWE ring. However, wrestling experts have estimated that the 28-year-old could be earning upwards of $100,000 per appearance. Remember, he once won the WWE 24/7 Championship, so clearly the partnership is working out!

How much did Bad Bunny get paid for Narcos?

Bad Bunny was lucky enough to earn the role of Everardo Arturo "El Kitty" Paez in the third season of Narcos: Mexico. But, it has not been revealed how much he was paid for his role. Considering his celebrity and the payment actors on streaming shows usually receive, we can imagine his salary was anywhere in the tens of thousands of dollars range.

In Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Carlo Bernard discussed the reggaeton artist’s casting. ​​“Everybody under 30 in the office lost their s**t. I was like, ‘Oh, I should probably pay more attention to this!’ He put himself on tape, and—to no surprise—he’s very watchable, and you’re innately drawn to him.” In fact, Bernard’s one regret about the casting decision was that he felt the young star didn’t have enough to do, adding, “Whatever we gave him, he killed.”

How much does Bad Bunny make on tour?

Bad Bunny’s El Último Tour del Mundo in 2022 became the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latinx artist, taking in more than $435 million. However, as with other figures, we must keep in mind that all of that money does not go directly into the artist’s pocket. Even just earning a percentage of that amount means Bad Bunny had a pretty freakin’ great year!

This does not mean Bad Bunny has or will earn this same amount with every tour, as that will depend on each individual tour's success and sales. Many artists report that the majority of the money they earn is from touring, and with numbers like this, that does track!

Model Kendall Jenner arrived at the 2024 Met Gala dressed to impress, drawing eyes with her unique outfit.

The 28-year-old posed for photographers on the iconic stairs wearing a pull from the vintage archives—an exquisite Givenchy couture piece from the brand's Fall 1999 collection, her interpretation of this year's "The Garden of Time" theme.

As she's done in years past, Jenner stole the spotlight with her daring look—which featured low midriff cutouts in the front and back—while noting she was the "first human to wear it," as it originally "showed on a mannequin." She also shared that the garb needed "no tailoring" and "fit perfectly" as is, which made her feel that it was just "meant to be."

Jenner was a highly-anticipated guest for this year's Met Gala after she stunned with her interpretation of last year's Karl Lagerfeld theme.

In 2023, Jenner wore a bold look as she decided to forego pants for a sequined black bodysuit with a white collar. The outfit emulated fashion figure Lagerfeld's well-known look, but the model also made it her own, adding platform boots and a high ponytail that only she could rock.

Over the years, Jenner has attended the Met Gala numerous times, but each year seems to get more daring. After the no-pants look, many fans were excited to see what direction she would go with her 2024 gala outfit.

This year, other attendees included her older sister Kim Kardashian, her mom Kris Jenner, Ayo Edibiri, Ashley Graham, Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and more.

Rita Ora turned heads as she walked the red carpet ahead of the 2024 Met Gala—but mostly, she baffled fans with her barely-there beaded look.

On Monday, May 6, the British singer-songwriter, 33, posed for photos with her husband, Taika Waititi, 48, before heading into The Metropolitan Museum of Art for its annual fundraising event. The official dress code was “The Garden of Time.”

Ora rocked a sheer bodysuit underneath an outfit made entirely of colorful beaded strands hanging in the front and back, leaving her sides completely open from top to bottom. For her hair, she sported a wet look. She explained that they were ancient beads sourced from North Africa and Europe, telling Vogue, “We really wanted to take fashion for me with the theme and just sort of a timeless beauty. So all these beads really age back to the first and second century BC. I mean some, I think, are older than anyone on this planet."

“It’s very heavy,” said, joking that Waititi might have to carry her up the iconic steps. 

Meanwhile, Waititi donned a monochromatic look as he wore a chocolate-colored leather jacket, pants, shirt and tie.

When Ora and Waititi paused to speak with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, the interviewer asked if Ora had anything to change into once they got inside.

"No," she replied, "I also didn't think about the bathroom, so there's that. We might just have to poke a hole in the stocking."

On X (formerly Twitter), fans reacted to Ora's revealing look. One person wondered, "Why does rita ora look like she just climbed out of a swamp #Metgala."

Someone else agreed, writing, "Get oot my swamp!!!

Another X user commented, "Why is she wearing a bead curtain."

Meanwhile, yet another person joked, "Rita Ora with an incredible Archival Pull this evening: the beaded curtain from my freshman year college dorm!"

Someone else simply exclaimed, "rita ora? what the hell is that #metgala," as one compared her look to a beaded curtain typically hung in doorways.

Swamp creature and beaded curtain jokes aside, hopefully, Ora was able to figure out the bathroom situation with her outfit!

Riley Keough descended upon the 2024 Met Gala looking like an actual dream.

The daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley floated onto the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art’s steps in a floral embroidered crop top.

Her midriff peaked out from under a sheer mesh layer before blending into a flowy black skirt that trailed behind her on the cream and moss-green carpet.

Elvis Presley's granddaughter served looks as she stopped to pose for photos in the sultry piece, opting for neutral blush glam with her auburn hair lightly crimped and parted down the middle.

Fans were living for the look—befitting the evening’s theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” along with the dress code “The Garden of Time”—as one wrote, “I knew Riley Keough would go! And she looks amazing!!”

“Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” another wrote, complimenting photos of her flashing the cameras a big smile, as a third wrote, “the princess that you are.”

Based on Keough’s previous Met Gala looks, dating all the way back to 2010, it’s no surprise that she not only understood the assignment, but delivered with a head-turning look.

The Daisy Jones and the Six actress returned to her warm-toned hair earlier this year, after rocking much darker hair—almost black—that was reminiscent of her grandfather’s.

She also proved that she inherited her family's singing talent while debuting a new song she's featured on for a film soundtrack. Fans were mesmerized by her vocals on "The Creatures of Nature” from the soundtrack for the 2024 film, Sasquatch Sunset.

The Met Gala, which takes place on the first Monday in May each year, included appearances from cohosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, along with a slew of other A-list celebrities.

Fancy frozen-in-time frocks. Superstars galore! An ocean of red carpet. 

Get ready for fashion’s biggest night! The 2024 Met Gala celebrates the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and the debut of their new exhibit, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. 

Anna Wintour, Vogue’s global editorial director has been overseeing the gala since she became its co-chair in 1995. And she oversees everything—and we mean everything. From the guest list to the seating chart to the food, decor and more. She's been reportedly known to pick up stray garbage and move chairs. 

Wintour has given this grand ball, considered the most fabulous fashion event on the planet, a very unique cache. Plus, the Met Gala is a fundraiser, which last year alone raised $22 million for the Costume Institute. 

With a mostly top secret guest list, that is hand selected by Wintour herself, the cost of admission is $75,000 per ticket or $350,000 for a table. Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny and are co-chairs for 2024.

Gala guests, who are banned from using cell phones (except for sneaky bathroom selfies), will be treated to the debut of the Sleeping Beauties exhibit, a cocktail party, seated dinner and a surprise musical guest. 

For that seated dinner, there are a few things that will absolutely never be on the menu: Garlic, chives and onion.

Wintour confirmed her disdain for the aforementioned alliums in a promo interview with Jenna Bush Hager for Today.

She definitely has her guests and fashion in mind when ruling out dishes to be served at the event. There'll be no garlic breath!

And she's wise to do so. Bruschetta, for example, can get really messy. And these are one-of-a-kind gowns that are hard to clean. Charles Tuzzi, managing director of Winzer Cleaners, the famous cleaning company that won a special Tony Award for cleaning many of the costumes worn on Broadway says it's hard to remove food from silks and delicate clothing. "It's definitely not coming off with seltzer and a napkin," he says. 

Here’s what we found out about the banned Met Gala foods.

What foods has Anna Wintour banned from Met Gala menu?

Anna Wintour has banned chives, onions and garlic from the Met Gala menu. "Those are three things I'm not particularly fond of. And so yes. That's true,” she told Hager Bush of the banned foods. Also, according to Buzz Feed the Vogue editorial director also does not permit parsley or bruschetta.

Josh Jackson, executive chef/owner proprietor of Great Taste Catering in Los Angeles believes that Wintour's decision to ban certain foods is a very personalized choice. 

"She doesn't want the food to affect the breath of the celebrity guests. Also, there are several people that are actually allergic to the allium family of bulbous plants which is rare but possible," says Jackson whose clients include Cher, Ted Danson and Laura Dern. "But that's maybe a stretch. The real reason must be she doesn't want to see chives in the guests teeth. It's understandable." 

But Jackson says that without those banned ingredients the depth of the flavor of dishes can be limited. And guests don't get the experience of a fantastic meal. Especially when foods like onions are so fabulous when they are caramelized. "There's nothing yummier than something that is caramelized," says Jackson. 

Chives and onions

Anna Wintour does not permit chives and onions to be served at the Met Gala. Also, all those foods are common for creating bad breath.  

Garlic

Garlic is not permitted to be served at the Met Gala. While garlic can complement most dishes and make them delectable, garlic also has some not-so-nice side affects. According to WEBMD, in addition to causing bad breath, garlic can also cause, gas, heartburn and diarrhea.

Appetizers like bruschetta

Appetizers like bruschetta, are also said to be prohibited at the Met Gala. While Anna Wintour didn’t address bruschetta in her Today interview with Jenna Bush Hager. According to the New York Post, parsley is also on the banned list. A former Vogue employee says that Wintour does not allow the garnish because it can too easily get stuck in your teeth.

We're guessing sauces are too! "Sauce or dipping sauce is the easiest thing to spill on yourself," Tuzzi says.

Singer Tyla made her debut at the 2024 Met Gala stunning fans with her dress literally made of sand, but a new video showed just how challenging the gown was to wear as she was lifted up each step because she couldn't walk up them herself.

The dress, which was based on the "Sands of Time" concept to fit with the "Garden of Time" theme, was sculpted to her body by Balmain, showing off her hourglass-shaped figure as she carried a real hourglass by her side.

Fans soon found footage of her journey up the iconic steps that was hindered by the dress' stiff structure, with one person sharing a clip and exclaiming, "NOT THEM LIFTING TYLA UP THE STAIRS DNDNDJSJ [sic]."

NOT THEM LIFTING TYLA UP THE STAIRS DNDNDJSJ😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/mtMA3du5D2

— 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) May 6, 2024

"You don’t need to breathe, walk, or sit. Just serve the look 😂😂 it’s not easy being Her #MetGala," wrote a fan of the look on X, as others reacted, "Okay this type of Princess treatment >>>," and "Tyla is the moment period!!!!"

More called the moment "iconic" and cheered the singer on, as someone added, "Love this for her." But although many were supportive of Tyla's struggles for fashion, some people felt like it wasn't worth the trouble.

In response to a video on E! News' Instagram page, a lot of people called the situation "ridiculous," as one critic wrote, "Its a No for me. And how embarrassing having a person carry you."

"I'm sorry but I don't like it, she's flawless but this casket no," commented another who didn't like the dress, with quite a few people saying that the ability to walk up the Met Gala steps on your own should be a requirement for a guest's outfit.

Almost 70 percent of people want to live to 79 to 100 years old, according to the Pew Research Center. In other words, longevity is the thing! And that makes sense. More time with loved ones? Holding onto life's experiences a little longer? It sounds nice.

If you're interested in longevity, regularly taking vitamin D and gardening are a couple of practices that can help—and they aren’t the only ones. Dr. Imam, an allergy and asthma doctor, recently shared a particular daily action that can add years to your life. 

Even more interesting, it’s a habit you probably wouldn’t expect.

The Hygiene Habit That Can Improve Longevity

The habit we’re talking about is (drumroll) flossing.

“Flossing and proper oral hygiene impacts our overall health,” says Dr. Fatima Khan, DMD, a dentist and co-founder of Riven Oral Care. When it comes to your oral health, flossing reduces the risk of cavities, gum inflammation, soreness and redness, she continues. It also prevents gingivitis, which can lead to periodontal disease.

And those oral conditions interact with other parts of your body and health, which affects your longevity and quality of life. “Flossing breaks down the bacteria colonies from teeth and gums,” Dr. Khan explains. “We cannot sectionalize the oral cavity because it works synergistically with other organs in the body.”

How Not Flossing Can Affect Health Outcomes Long-TermInflammation

Inflammation is a major piece of this puzzle. “Flossing limits inflammation by removing the bad bacteria that can lead to inflammation by going through the bloodstream,” explains Dr. Neil Paulvin, DO, a longevity expert. And inflammation is a key factor in serious diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases and more.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s

As far as brain health, dementia and Alzheimer’s are, unfortunately, a risk. “[Flossing] limits risk of dementia, because the plaque and bad bacteria is thought to lead to inflammation and damage of mitochondria, and the microglia in the brain that may predispose you to Alzheimer’s,” Dr. Paulvin continues.

Dr. Khan adds that P. gingivalis is one of the periodontal pathogens linked with Alzheimer’s disease. It can cause your gums to become inflamed, she explains, which triggers your immune system to release inflammatory molecules and bacteria that get to the brain through your bloodstream. “This causes changes to the brain cells that are meant to defend your brain from amyloid plaque and increases risk for Alzheimer’s,” she says.

Unfortunately, numbers show that dementia is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., cutting a person’s average life expectancy by nine years. With Alzheimer’s, this could be because the loss of brain function (that comes with a severe case) can lead to dehydration, malnutrition or infection, which may result in death.

Gastrointestinal problems

Another part of the body that’s impacted? Your gut. Some bacteria from your mouth can’t be killed by your stomach acid. When it goes to the intestines and colon, it can cause inflammation and dysbiosis of the gut, which can lead to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A 2022 study in BMC Gastroenterology notes that life expectancy in people with IBD has increased, but is still shorter than in people without IBD.

Periodontal disease

Another unfortunate possibility after not flossing is periodontal disease, AKA gum disease. Dr. Khan says it’s an inflammatory infection that affects the gums and bones supporting and surrounding your teeth.

“The bacteria associated with periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body, leading to various health problems,” Dr. Khan says.

Cardiovascular concerns

People with periodontal disease are two to three times more likely to have a stroke, heart attack or other serious cardiovascular problem.

But how can flossing—something seemingly so unrelated—help lessen that risk? “Flossing limits the amount of bacteria in your system, which lowers the risk of heart disease,” Dr. Paulvin explains. “Floss also limits inflammation, which limits heart disease.”

Dr. Khan notes the two-way, cyclical harm that happens with diabetes—a risk factor for cardiovascular disease—and periodontal disease. “The risk of periodontitis is higher amongst individuals whose blood sugar levels are not well-controlled,” she says. “Also, periodontal pathogens will cause your gums to get inflamed, and your immune system will fight back by releasing inflammatory molecules, which can cause insulin resistance. This can worsen diabetes by increasing blood sugar levels.”

Is this to say that not flossing means you’ll automatically get heart disease or dementia? No. It’s just a reminder that flossing (and oral hygiene in general) can impact other parts of your health long-term.

How to Floss the Right Way

Flossing is more than just putting a piece of string in between your teeth (though if you thought that was it, you’re not alone). It’s a bit more complicated, but still fairly simple.

“When you floss, you must curve the floss into a C shape around the base of the tooth and gently move it back and forth,” Dr. Khan explains.

She also recommends using traditional floss instead of floss picks if possible, noting it can remove larger particles and allows for a clean segment of floss between each pair of teeth.

Floss picks are better than nothing, though, and can be a more accessible option. “Floss picks are great for people who do not have the manual dexterity for traditional floss,” Dr. Khan says. “Another study showed higher compliance and satisfaction in the floss pick group.”

Adding a Waterpik or water flosser can contribute to healthier gums and decrease the chance of gum disease progression, she continues, but should be used in conjunction with traditional flossing.

Other Longevity Tips

Two more major contributors to longevity are exercise and sleep.

“Exercise helps with longevity by decreasing inflammation, increasing neuroplasticity, increasing muscle mass and improving VO2 max and grip strength,” Dr. Paulvin says. (VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise.)

Related: ‘I’m a Neurologist, and These Are the Games That Actually Make a Difference in Brain Health’

“Sleep improves longevity by maximizing hormones during sleep, maintaining circadian rhythm which helps with organ function, decreases inflammation and improves cognitive performance,” he continues.

But again, the focus here is flossing (as not fun as it can be). As Dr. Khan will tell you, “Proper oral hygiene can help you live better.”

The matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan has officially arrived at the 2024 Met Gala.

Marking her 7th Met Gala appearance, Kris Jenner looked divine as she hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual event.

Dressed in a voluminous off-white colored satin outfit designed by Oscar de la Renta, paired with green emerald jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz, she was accompanied by her partner, Corey Gamble, who was also on theme for fashion’s biggest night, paying tribute to the Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit and the dress code “The Garden of Time.”

The 68-year-old’s makeup was courtesy of Etienne Ortega, including products from the new makeup line that launched last week called ORTEGA.

As previously mentioned, the momager is no stranger to the Met, having made her debut in 2015 in a red Balmain gown with a fauxhawk hairstyle. She returned the following year embracing a darker look befitting of the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme, which also included a smokey eye glam.

Opting to skip the 2017 festivities, Jenner returned in 2018 with her boyfriend Gamble by her side, this time rocking a black and gold gown with sheer sleeves and a feathered skirt for the “Heavenly Bodies” theme.

While Hollywood’s famous family always knows how to make a statement, Jenner’s boldest looks came in 2019 and 2022, when she rocked a Tommy Hilfiger jumpsuit with oversized puffy sleeves and a tulle train, along with a striking blonde bob cut wig, before opting for a bright yellow off-the-shoulder Oscar de la Renta gown, complimented by a black bob wig, respectively.

The 2024 installment of the annual event took place on Monday, May 6, with hosts Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth.

You may have constantly been reminded to clean your room as a child, and ignoring your parents' pleas may have been a so-cool act of rebellion. These days, you, too, dislike clutter. (It's no fun when the "folks" are right, is it?)

However, a tiny area and many things—like shoes, scarves and toys—can present a big challenge. The good news? Like even the most enormous piles of laundry, it's not impossible to overcome, nor do you need to break the bank to stay organized and maximize space within a smaller bedroom. There are plenty of solutions when it comes to small bedroom storage ideas, after all.

Ditch the overwhelm. To help you clean your room and keep it that way, we enlisted the help of interior designers and professional organizers. They shared their genius tips for keeping your living spaces organized (and bank accounts full). These are the 25 top low-cost or DIY storage ideas for small bedrooms.

25 Best Low-Cost Ways to Keep a Small Bedroom Organized  1. Sleep on it

Photographer Clay Grier

Principal Anne Grandinetti of Ashby Collective designed this serene children's room within a resort home. The space is tight, but the room sleeps two children (and their clothes, toys and backpacks) courtesy of multiple storage units within the bunkbed alone. It boasts numerous storage units, including pull-out drawers to tuck away toys and clothes. The beach-y blue hues pair perfectly with the vistas at this Gulf Coast home.

2. Storage nooks

Photographer Ryann Ford / Britt Design Group

One of the smartest storage units in this space, designed by Britt Design Group, is hiding in plain sight. "Below the bench is ample concealed storage, perfect for stowing away blankets, while the bench's stone-top design also cleverly doubles as a durable luggage 'rack,'" Britt says. "The closed-door storage system conceals anything within, contributing to a clean and uncluttered look that is as accessible and functional as it is beautiful."

3. Small dressers = Function + fashion

The English Den

"Add extra storage to a small bedroom by using small dressers as nightstands," says Julia Lauve, an interior designer and the co-founder of WORKSHOP | studio. "The extra height of the case goods also adds instant design style to a tight space."

4. Find your niche

Photographer Chelsea Kenny, Rosebud Photography

This tiny sleep space has just enough room for the two things you'll likely reach for in the morning.

"A small built-in niche, enough for a bottle of water and your phone, is a great way to gain some space where it can be challenging against a wall," says Maria Vassiliou of Maria Zoe Designs.

5. Lofty ideas

Spacecrafting Photography / Interior Design & Photo Styling, O’Hara Interiors | Remodel, Knight Construction

Even some penthouse bedrooms can be short on space, as was the case in this one designed by the team at O’Hara Interiors. However, Kate O’Hara notes that the lofted bunk bed allows for additional square footage, which can be used for practical matters (dresser storage underneath the bed) and fun (gaming and movie nights with pals). 

6. Contemporary charm

Interior Design & Photo Styling, O’Hara Interiors | Remodel, Knight Construction / Leslie Williams Interior Design

"In primary bedrooms, adding functional larger nightstands with drawers for extra storage for items like books or to keep notes that come to mind at the end of the day is another great storage idea," says Leslie Williams of Leslie Williams Interior Design. "Many new nightstands are installing USB ports to plug in and tuck away iPads, cell phones and Apple watches at night to charge."

Those features nix the need to arrange your space around wall plugs.

7. Small storage for small but significant essentials

Photographer Natalia Robert

Small nightstands are versatile and offer big benefits regardless of room size.

"Nightstands with drawers can be the perfect touch to stow away those smaller items such as books, journals and the like," says Megan Siason of M Studio Interior Design. "The nightstands also offer that visual balance the bedroom space needed when placed on either side of the bed."

8. Shallow cabinets

Photographer Gail Owens

Siason says one of the challenges posed by small bedrooms is finding a balance between placing furniture while maximizing closet space and ensuring it doesn't feel too cramped.

"Although this bedroom wall in this room was too tight for nightstands, we opted to incorporate a shallow cabinet across the bed," Siason says.

9. Back-of-door storage

Stylish Spaces

When space is limited, you need to work with everything you've got.

"I love maximizing the surface on the back of a door," says Sarah DeGrim, the founder of Stylish Spaces, who found this over-the-door storage rack at The Container Store. "This is an ideal solution inside a closet that will be hidden when the door closes but readily accessible just by opening the door. This can be a super convenient way to store shoes, accessories or toys." 

10. Balance

Photographer Kyle J. Caldwell

This nursery may be designed for a little one, but the advice is timeless. While you want to optimize storage space, avoiding overcrowding and making a space feel too busy is important. 

"Use under-bed storage for small bedroom storage," says Elana T. Cline, the founder of Carta Creatives. "Maximize every [inch] of the room without making it look too cluttered. Also, use multipurpose storage and a mix of open/closed shelves. Do not overcrowd the room with too much furniture. Less is more. "

11. Utilize wall space

Photographer Regan Wood

You can use wall space when working with a small bedroom.

"In the bedroom we designed here, we installed a floating nightstand for bedside storage and a wall-mounted reading light," says Claire Paquin, the founder of Clean Design. "The floor is free from clutter, and the top of the nightstand is not overcrowded by a lamp."

12. Dual-purpose designs

All & Nxthing Interiors / Photographer: Emma Lewis

Designers on Houzz say dual-purpose furniture pieces and areas are a cost-effective way to get the most out of a small bedroom and budget. Here, a bespoke vanity unit between wardrobes maximizes space in this small bedroom by All & Nxthing Interiors.

13. Combine creatively 

Photographer Life Created

We discussed using a small dresser as a nightstand, but who says a nightstand and dresser must be separate pieces?

"To optimize space in this small room, we selected furniture that could be utilized as a nightstand and a dresser," says Lauren Lerner, the CEO and founder of Living with Lolo. "This clever approach not only maximizes functionality but also creates a room that is simple yet chic."

14. Basket case

Photographer Tim Lenz

Sometimes, you don't need a ton of storage in a small space, which was the case in this guest room designed by Joshua Smith, the principal and founder of Joshua Smith Inc.

"This guest room was made to embody sophistication and comfort," Smith says. "Since excessive amounts of storage weren’t needed in this guest space, simple nightstands combining drawer and basket housing fit the needs of the short-term organization during one’s stay."

15. Give a space big character

Douglas Hill Photography

"Often small bedrooms can feel sparse or lacking," says Emily LaMarque, the founder and principal of Emily LaMarque Design Studio. "Utilize open shelves for storing and displaying keepsake items, books and accessories that can dress up the room and give it personality and warmth.

16. Choose your bed wisely

Douglas Hills Photography

Sometimes, the best-laid plans for small bedroom storage start with the bed.

"If you have a small bedroom space, consider using a bed with a bit of space underneath it," LaMarque says. "Low and long storage containers that slide under the bed provide ample storage for seasonal items or things that don’t get frequent use."

17. Unconventional upcycling

Photography Angela O'Brien

Angela O'Brien, a professional organizer and founder of Your Space Reclaimed, says she had her work cut out when she redid her daughter's room as an 18th birthday surprise. 

O'Brien says her challenges included a "combination of a small bedroom, a large collection of art and a sentimental older teen with Down Syndrome is not [anything] to sneeze at when trying to find budget-friendly storage solutions."

O'Brien rolled up her sleeves. One of her favorite elements involved creative problem-solving. 

"I was not able to add a set of needed shelves for her trinkets and toys," O'Brien shares. "I finagled a way to get an upcycled shelving unit from Pottery Barn inside her closet so that her beloved doll clothes, games and books had a place of their own. Bonus points—since it was behind a door, I didn't have to see them all every time I walked in. This was a much more budget-friendly option than hiring a closet design company to install permanent shelving while serving the same purpose."

18. A touch of style and a ton of storage 

Decorilla

Storage ottomans are as versatile.

"Storage ottomans at the foot of the bed are functional yet stylish," says Devin Shaffer, an interior designer with Decorilla. "You can store anything really, from bedding sets to seasonal clothing. Its hidden compartment allows for easy access while adding a touch of decor to the room."

19. Chic coat racks

Decorilla

Unexpected? Maybe. Functional and cool? Yes, and yes.

"Garment racks are a different yet contemporary way to store clothes," Shaffer says of this Decorilla design project. "They’re easy to place anywhere, don’t take too much space and even give the bedroom that urban, trendy finish."

20. Hidden storage

Decorilla

Mirrors with hidden storage are under-the-radar pieces that can be found for less than $200. 

"Mirrors with hidden storage serve two purposes: organize your jewelry or makeup, for example, and make the space look bigger," Shaffer says. "They have this visual effect, and you can find them at different price points, but there are good options for a good price." 

21. Go big (seriously)

The English Den

We talked about small dressers and using dressers as nightstands. But don't rule out a larger one.

"Large-scale dressers with deep drawers add highly usable storage to a bedroom," Lauve says. You can even use two side by side if you have a long enough wall."

Another pro tip: "Add drama and texture with luxuriously full velvet drapery. Hang drapery high and wide to let lots of natural light flood into the space," Lauve says. "This will also create the illusion of a larger window and taller ceiling heights, helping the room to feel bigger than it truly is."

22. Creative closet

Stylish Spaces

"Small bedrooms require us to work with the space we have and often get creative," DeGrim says. "This small closet didn’t have the shelving we needed for bag storage, so we utilized the closet rod we had and hung our bags."

23. Stacked deck

Stylish Spaces

Stacking isn't just for wooden blocks and card games. 

"Using storage products that are shallow and stackable allows you to maximize small floor plans and create vertical storage," DeGrim says. "These stackable IKEA drawers are great for accessories, small intimates like lingerie, socks or workout sets. They enabled us to add drawers inside even small cabinet closets."

24. Playful storage

Photography Tim Lenz

Combining a small bedroom and a playroom?

"Lots of storage is needed," Smith says.

Many of these tips can be applied to people past their playroom stages but with tons of stuff.

"Tucking the bookshelf behind the bed allowed us to take advantage of every inch of space in this room despite its irregular shape, especially when paired with additional storage under the bed and via the nightstand," Smith explains. "A fun basket at the end of the bed provides a playful spot to hide toys when not in use." 

25. New heights

Decorilla

Once again, a "tiny" bedroom doesn't limit you to small furniture. 

"Slim or tall cabinets are a great option to make use of the vertical space," Shaffer says. "They are narrow and skinny, and you can store books, plants or anything really while not taking too much space, and they look nice."
