“Before it’s in fashion, it’s in Vogue!” runs one tagline. In many cases it’s also possible to say “Before it’s on the red carpet, it’s on Vogue Runway.” That assertion is backed up by the side-by-sides below, which pair the catwalk debuts of looks that appeared on guests attending the gala celebrating, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at the 2024 Met Gala. Confirming a trend we’ve been seeing over the past seasons, gender boundaries are blurring: Josh O’Connor’s smashing Loewe look was inspired by something that came down the women’s catwalk. Vive l’indifférence!
