La La Anthony was one of the first celebrities to walk the 2024 Met Gala red carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday. The media personality embraced this year’s “The Garden of Time” theme in a floral-printed dress from Alexander McQueen‘s fall 2023 collection designed by Sarah Burton.
Anthony’s Gothic-inspired ensemble featured a corset bodice that transitioned into a puffball skirt and a red ghost orchid jacquard print motif on the bottom. She paired the gown with a lace sheer top with floral embroidery throughout from Atelier Biser.
