Karol G Turns Into a Fairy for Met Gala Debut, Stuns in Marc Jacobs Dress

Karol G stunned in Marc Jacobs for her first-ever Met Gala. The Colombian hitmaker, who is currently on her Mañana Será Bonito Latin America Tour, wore a nude crystal-heavy, corset dress and trader her soft pink hair for super long blonde wavy curls.

The accessories she wore not only complemented her look but also transformed her into the ultimate fairy at the “Garden of Time” — this year’s Met Gala dress code. She wore a whimsical, bejeweled headpiece and elf-shaped prosthetic ears. “It’s my fantasy,” Karol said on the Vogue red carpet livestream.

Her debut at the Met Gala is yet another check-mark in the list for Karol G. It’s been a year of career-defining moments for the “Bichota” singer, including a history-making album, a momentous stadium tour, her first Grammy win, and being named Billboard‘s 2024 Woman of the Year. She’s set to wrap her LatAm trek on May 10 in Brazil before heading out to Europe for several tour dates there.

Karol G was was among a handful of Latin artists who attended the Met Gala this year, including Bad Bunny, Rauw Alejandro, Omar Apollo and Shakira. Spanish superstar Rosalía, dressed in Dior, was also in attendance.

This year’s Met Gala exhibit theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, is set to feature 250 items from the Costume Institute’s permanent collection. The works will be displayed at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in new ways, including elements such as video animation, CGI, AI and more. The 2024 Met Gala is co-hosted by Bunny, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez and Chris Hemsworth.
