The biggest night of fashion is finally upon us...

The 2024 Met Gala has kicked off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City - and a slew of stars have already graced the red carpet. 

Every year on the first Monday of May, a series of A-listers gather in their most extravagant looks for a lavish party hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

This year, while some stars blew everyone away with their dazzling ensembles, others completely missed the mark and suffered from horrific sartorial fails.

From Doja Cat's soaked dress to Emily Ratajkowski's nipple-bearing sheer gown, there has been no shortage of dramatic looks so far.

Join DailyMail.com's live coverage as we discuss all of the celebrity arrivals - including the most daring ensembles of the night and the worst and best dressed stars - and share updates from what's going on inside the coveted ball.
