Ayo Edebiri Bloomed in Loewe at the 2024 Met Gala
Last night, Ayo Edebiri made a stunning debut at the iconic 2024 Met Gala. With an impeccable look from Loewe, she solidified her status as a rising fashion star.
The Journey to the Met Gala
Ayo Edebiri’s journey to becoming a fashion icon was marked by memorable appearances throughout the awards season. Her custom red Prada column dress and homage to Whoopi Goldberg in The Row showcased her impeccable taste and versatility.
Loewe’s Floral Masterpiece
This year, Loewe became synonymous with Edebiri’s Met Gala debut. The brand sponsored the event, gifting Ayo a floral backless column dress that was nothing short of magical. Hand-painted and embroidered with 3D appliqué flowers, the dress created an illusion of blossoming—a nod to the gala’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
The Creative Process
Edebiri’s excitement about her first Met Gala was palpable. The night is known for its emphasis on creative collaboration, and she embraced this wholeheartedly.
“The level of craftsmanship that it took to make this dress is so beyond,” Edebiri shared. “Looking into those details, taking that into consideration, it just amplifies that feeling for me.”
The Glam Team’s Contribution
Edebiri’s hair and makeup were equally breathtaking. Her makeup artist, Dana Delaney, captured the essence of the theme, creating a look that was reminiscent of morning dew on flower petals.
- Makeup Inspiration: A fresh glow using SK-II products.
- Blush: Pink draping with Ilia’s multi stick for a spring vibe.
- Eyes: Subtle sheen and gloss to mimic dewiness.
- Lips: Bee-stung look, maintaining monochromatic tones complementing the dress’s floral appliqués.
A Legacy in Bloom
The collaboration with Loewe was a natural progression for Edebiri. Her previous appearance at the Time100 Next gala in one of Jonathan Anderson’s conceptual pieces hinted at their strong connection.
“Ayo has really blossomed this year so the theme ‘Garden of Time’ felt very poignant to me, especially this being her first Met Gala moment,” said Delaney.
What Lies Ahead?
Edebiri expressed uncertainty about what awaited inside the Met Museum but remained eager and optimistic. As she stepped onto the red carpet, it was clear that her journey had only just begun.
