“No Modesty Anymore”: 17 Sheer Met Gala Looks That Broke The Internet For All The Wrong Reasons
14. Emily Ratajkowski In 2024

At the 2024 Met Gala, themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with the dress code “The Garden of Time,” Emily Ratajkowski hit the red carpet in a vintage gown from Atelier Versace’s Fall/Winter 2001 couture collection. The crystallized, semi-transparent silver gown featured intricate beading arranged in a delicate petal-and-leaf pattern. From the front, the design appeared relatively modest, with a high neckline and long sleeves. However, the standout element was the dramatic, plunging back cutout that extended down to the top of her tailbone. During an on-carpet interview with Emma Chamberlain, Ratajkowski described the look as “business in the front, party in the back,” highlighting the contrast in the gown’s design. The archival piece was reportedly sourced from Tab Vintage, tying into the evening’s theme of reviving rare, delicate garments. She accessorized with over 108 carats of yellow diamonds from Chopard, adding an expensive finishing touch to the look. The appearance marked her return to the Met Gala red carpet, after last attending the event in 2022. One fashion critic criticized her ensemble, writing, “Is there any decency among famous people anymore… Wearing a tablecloth! Really?” “Seriously put some clothes on so gross,” another said, while a third commented, “Imagine how truly hot she would be if she ever showed class while dressing.” “ Showing off your cheeks as a gala outfit is CRAZY… we call this a swimsuit cover-up!”
