Amelia Hamlin outfit

Amelia Gray Hamlin, the rising fashion icon, made a breathtaking debut at the 2024 Met Gala, gracing the enchanted forest-themed red carpet in a mesmerizing light-up terrarium dress. 

The 22-year-old model, known for her work with prestigious brands like Chanel, Miu Miu, and Jean Paul Gaultier, donned a creation from Jun Takahashi’s extraordinary spring 2024 collection.Hamlin’s dress was a true work of art, adorned with delicate roses and fluttering butterflies, its sheer fabric revealing the intricate details encased within. The dress perfectly aligned with the event’s “The Garden of Time” theme and the Costume Institute exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Awakening Fashion,” which the gala was honoring. 

Takahashi’s spring 2024 collection notes describe the garments as “wrapped in transparency, appearing as deep mist,” and “flowing like a fading memory in a surreal world.” Hamlin’s dress perfectly captured this dreamlike quality, making her first Met Gala appearance a truly magical moment. 

The stunning terrarium dress, with its roses and butterflies, is also prominently featured in the Costume Institute exhibition, taking a place of pride and even gracing the exhibition posters. Takahashi’s notes further emphasize the garments’ ability to flow “like a fading memory” and appear and disappear in a “surreal world,” resonating deeply with the theme of this year’s Met Gala.
