The Met Gala, the most important event in the fashion world, re -captures global attention this Monday, May 5 at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York. Under the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”this year’s gala will pay tribute to the black tailoring and its influence on the history of dress. Although the red carpet has been triggered by thousands of celebrities, five Latin figures have left an indelible mark on the history of the event.
Jennifer López: The Queen of Glamor Jennifer López has been synonymous with elegance and sophistication in the Met Gala since her debut in 1999. Dressed by houses such as Versace, Balmain and Ralph Lauren, JLO redefined the concept of luxury in each edition. His appearance in 2024 as Coanfitriona, with a spectacular dress of Schiaparelli, reaffirmed his status as a global icon.
Salma Hayek: Mexican fashion ambassador Mexican actress Salma Hayek is a historical presence in the Met Gala. Since 1997 she has been a constant guest, attending multiple editions between 2009 and 2019. His collaboration with firms such as Alexander McQueen and Gucci consolidated her as one of the best dressed celebrities, highlighting her red attire in 2023 as a symbol of strength and elegance.
Bad Bunny: Breaking male molds The Puerto Rican Bad Bunny revolutionized male fashion in the Met Gala since his debut in 2022. His floral jacquemus layer in 2023 broke schemes and positioned him as a reference of creativity and disruption. In 2024, his role as coanfrerion stressed the artist’s meteoric ascent in the global fashion scene.
Thalia: Mexican pioneer on the red carpet Thalia was one of the first Mexicans to have a recurring presence in the Met Gala since 2009. His bold style, as seen in 2019 with an attire inspired by futurism, opened the way for other Latin talents and reinforced his role as a key figure of the Latin glamor.
Maluma: Evolution and consolidation The Colombian singer Maluma debuted in 2019 with a low profile, but his transformation as a fashion icon was notable. In 2023 it hit a sleeveless suit adorned with pearls, merging minimalism and art. His bold style made him a dominant figure of contemporary aesthetics in the Met Gala.
With figures like Shakira, Rachel Zegler and more Latin Latinos this year, the Hispanic legacy promises to continue shining strongly on the most emblematic red carpet in the world.
