Gigi Hadid’s 2024 Met Gala Dress Took Over 13,500 Hours to Create

If there’s one thing about Gigi Hadid, she knows how to nail a theme, and the 2024 Met Gala is no exception.

This year, for “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” the supermodel is joining Thom Browne in “The Garden of Time.” Tonight, Hadid wears an unmistakably Browne look: a white off-the-shoulder corset dress with exaggerated hips, which she layered underneath a white silk moiré coat with black duchesse satin tipping, and festooned with 3D yellow roses. With an intense focus on every minute detail, the entire look took a team of more than 70 people over 13,500 hours to make entirely by hand, and will live in Browne’s permanent archive following the Met Gala.

“It’s always a privilege to watch Gigi come to life. She is a true talent that shines at whatever she does,” Browne says. “I wanted her look to embody the fragility and immense work that you see in Andrew [Bolton]’s exhibit, blooming on the carpet and into the Metropolitan Museum of Art,” Browne says of Hadid.

Featuring thorn appliqués, the garden of yellow roses is artfully splashed across Hadid’s look. The outer layer’s voluminous skirt alone took a team of 40 people over 8,500 hours to embroider. The corset dress was also an impressive feat of craftsmanship; a team of 20 artisans spent 5,000 hours hand-embroidering 2.8 million micro bugle beads onto the dress.

“In my final fitting, I finally got to see the 3D pieces, and to just hold them,” Hadid tells Vogue. “Just one rose on my outfit in itself is a work of art, and the amount of hours and people’s work that went into this dress is just incredible. It’s an honor for me to be able to present this for them, and I always walk the carpet with that in mind. I’m very proud of their work.”
