Ayo Edebiri has established herself as a legitimate fashion star during an intense awards season that saw her win both trophies and best-dressed accolades. She completed the deal last night by making her debut at the Met Gala in 2024.
The actor had a lot to live up to after showcasing such a fantastic collection of looks in The Row, which included a tribute to Whoopi Goldberg and a special red Prada column dress. However, it appeared like Loewe, the Gala’s sponsor, more than surpassed her expectations as she looked stunning in a floral, strapless column dress.
“That struck me as the most compelling option, but my stylist Danielle Goldberg informed me that this is the one that Jonathan Anderson is most enthusiastic about as well,” Edebiri says. “That made that stick in my mind and heart.”
Edebiri was giddy with anticipation for her first Met Gala. She was ecstatic in large part because of the creative partnership that the evening involved. “This dress was made with a level of craftsmanship that is truly remarkable,” she remarks. “It just intensifies that feeling for me when I look into those details and take that into consideration.” Her glam squad was feeling the same way.
The actor looked equally stunning with hair and makeup when he graced the Met steps. Dana Delaney, Edebiri’s makeup artist, adds, “Ayo has blossomed this year so the theme ‘Garden of Time’ felt very poignant to me, especially this being her first Met Gala moment.” “When it came to makeup, we wanted our skin to resemble dewy morning petals on flowers. SK-II offered the ideal radiant foundation for the makeup concept, as it was centered around the skin.

The makeup artist for Edebiri, Dana Delaney, continues, “Ayo has blossomed this year so the theme ‘Garden of Time’ felt very poignant to me, especially this being her first Met Gala moment.” “We wanted our skin to look like the dewy morning petals on flowers when it came to cosmetics.
“I adored the notion that Ayo wanted to incorporate pink drape with the blush. Blush is the essential color for a full spring beauty look, in my opinion. Through the temple and right under the eye, we combined Ilia’s multi-stack from “A Fine Romance” with Color Haze from “Sing,”.
