In Summary
- American rapper and singer Doja Cat, once again leaves a fashion statement at the 2024 Met Gala.
- The gala which goes down on the very first Monday of May each year was graced by most of the beloved on-screen personalities, models and singers such as Kendall Jenner, Cardi B, Chris Hemsworth amongst others.
- The night’s best dressed attendees were those who paid homage to this year’s theme (and “the garden of time” dress code)—doing so in both artistic and unexpected ways.
While her 2023 Met Gala outfit still stands as one of the most odd ones from the particular event, this time round she also made sure to make a fashion statement at the gala that went down last night.
As a reminder, Doja cat dressed up as a literal cat during last year’s Met Gala, so our expectations were obviously higher than high.
For the 2024 Met Gala, Doja Cat changed out of a towel and into a dripping wet t-shirt!
First, she showed up at her hotel ahead of the biggest night in fashion wearing what can only be described as a plastic bag, paired with some nude shapewear and nipple pasties.
Her bold attire truly set the tone for the rest of her looks, specifically how she’d be interpreting this year’s theme “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with the dress code “The Garden of Time.”

Doja left her hotel on the way to the Met Gala wearing nothing but a towel and some diamonds. The ‘Vegas’ hitmaker paired the look with drippy straight-out-of-the-shower inspired eye makeup and perspex heels.
Trick Behind the Wet T-shirt Look
After arriving at the gala in her towel outfit, she once again changed before hitting the red carpet – this time wearing a floor-length white T-shirt that looked like it was soaking wet.
She went braless underneath the oversized design, with the dripping fabric clinging to her body.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she detailed the inspiration behind the look saying, “I know that people are going to do flowers, but my flower of choice is the most-used flower. And it’s cotton,” she said. “I wanted to do a white T-shirt, also because a white T-shirt is timeless.”
“And it felt very poetic to choose this,” she continued. “I knew it wasn’t going to blend in too much, and I don’t really like to blend in.”
Doja also revealed the trick behind getting the T-shirt to look wet.
“I’m not supposed to give the secret, but it’s hair gel. It’s hair gel,” she said. “It’s all hair gel, and it’s all smooth throughout the whole thing.”
