Round-UpCelebrity Watch At The Met Gala 2024: In ‘The Garden Of Time’

This most-talked-about red carpet event sees some of the most creative expressions of each year’s theme. With ‘The garden of time’ as the dress code for the 2024 theme, ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, there were also a number of timepieces seen at the Met Gala 2024. Here are a few highlights
