Met Gala 2024: Jennifer Lopez dons jaw-dropping sheer Schiaparelli gown made of 2.5 million sliver bugle beads

Jennifer Lopez dazzled in a glittering Schiaparelli silhouette at the Met Gala 2024, held on May 6 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Jennifer, who co-chaired the Met Gala 2024 alongside Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth, made her presence known on the green and white carpet. 

Jennifer's gown was a perfect match for the glittering queen who knows how to own a room. Jennifer described the lavish statement item as a transparent garment adorned with 2.5 million silver bugle beads.

The garment was designed by Daniel Roseberry, Schiaparelli's creative director, and has four enormous butterfly wings that cover the whole surface of the dress. 

Celebrity stylist Mariel Haenn describes the ensemble, saying, "More than flowers, the butterfly represents metamorphosis." Transformation. Something that was dormant yet awakens gorgeous, powerful, and fresh."

The meticulous design and portrayal of butterfly wings were in keeping with the exhibition's theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

"The butterfly is an excellent representation of a sleeping beauty. Something that sleeps and wakes up lovely can nevertheless exist in a garden even if it is not a flower.

"The butterfly and the concept of metamorphosis have been part of Schiaparelli's DNA since the beginning," says Mariel.

The structured bodice evoking butterfly wings and the train adding drama to Jennifer's style transformed this into a brilliant work of art for the Met Gala 2024. Jennifer wore diamond jewels from Tiffany & Co.
