Jennifer Lopez made a dazzling statement in a shimmery Schiaparelli silhouette at the Met Gala 2024 hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 6.

As the co-chair of Met Gala 2024, along with Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer made her presence felt on the green and white carpet. As a sparkling diva who knows how to own a room, Jennifer’s gown fit her like a glove. When asked to describe the opulent statement piece, Jennifer shared that the sheer dress was made up of 2.5 million silver bugle beads.

Envisioned by Daniel Roseberry, creative director of Schiaparelli, the dress was designed using four butterfly wings enlarged to cover the whole surface of the dress. Sharing the details of the outfit, celebrity stylist Mariel Haenn says, “Much more than flowers, the butterfly symbolises metamorphosis. Transformation. Something that was asleep that wakes up beautiful, powerful and new.”

The intricate detailing and the representation of butterfly wings resonated with the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion theme of the exhibition. “The butterfly is a perfect articulation of a sleeping beauty. Something that goes to sleep and wakes up beautiful also still lives in a garden without being a flower. The butterfly and idea of metamorphosis has been part of Schiaparelli’s DNA since the beginning,” add Mariel.

The structured bodice resembling the butterfly wings and the train adding drama to Jennifer’s style made this a sparkling piece of art at the Met Gala 2024. Jennifer accessorised with diamond jewellery from Tiffany & Co.
