“No Modesty Anymore”: 17 Sheer Met Gala Looks That Broke The Internet For All The Wrong Reasons

8. Rita Ora In 2024

For the 2024 dress code “The Garden of Time,” Rita Ora arrived in a daring sheer, beaded illusion gown custom-designed by Marni, a look that quickly became one of the most talked-about of the night. The dress was constructed from cascading strands of multicolored beads, reportedly sourced from North Africa and Europe, some dating back to the 1st and 2nd centuries BC. These historic elements were combined with Murano glass beads from the 1940s to the 1970s, with the strands draped over a completely sheer bodysuit, giving the illusion of bare skin beneath a shimmering curtain of beads. The design also featured high slits on both sides and was supported by a handmade metal structure at the neckline. In tune with the theme, Ora’s look symbolized the enduring nature of beauty, how it can transcend generations through preserved materials and craftsmanship. She accessorized the piece with ornate Buccellati rings crafted from gold, emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. The look was completed with strappy matching sandal heels and a sculptural mini Trunkaroo bag molded from polished brass. The singer attended the event alongside her husband, Taika Waititi, who coordinated in a head-to-toe chocolate brown leather Marni suit. Reacting to her bold choice, one critic wrote online, “It looks like she took the leftover background from last weekend's bachelorette trip, tied a string around her waist, and called it a day lol.” Another dded, “I’m sorry but rita never serves… like this dress is so out of place for the met/theme…” “It's a shame they didn't make the n*de parts match her actual skin tone, compeletely ruins the illusion,” remarked a third. Another comment read, “Does that make Rita the drapes? Her dress certainly resembles a pushed aside curtain lol.”
