Meta Gala 2024 details: Gigi Hadid Wears Tuxedo Jacket Gown at the Met Gala 2024

Gigi Hadid's head-turning Thom Browne gown featured a ruffled skirt so large that it required a team of handlers to carry the train of the dress as she made her way into this year's event.

Footage of the model's arrival at The Metropolitan Museum of Art shows a group of five men helping to manoeuvre the dramatic, voluminous design as she posed for photographers and slowly walked into the venue.

Gigi Hadid wears a custom Thom Browne corset dress embroidered with over two million white micro bugle beads and a draped tailored jacket in white silk moire with black duchess satin tipping and rose appliques throughout with wingtip pumps in white and yellow pebble grain leather for the 2024 Met Gala.

When asked by one reporter exactly how heavy her train was, she replied "40 pounds" after conferring with those carrying it. Luckily for everyone involved, the weighty skirt was cleverly detached from the dress later in the evening.
