Rosalía had a tough act to follow for the 2024 Met Gala. With two previous Mets under her belt, the singer has set an impressive standard for herself when it comes to her exciting fashion choices.

For her first year in 2021, Rosalía wore a red off-the-shoulder Rick Owens number with a plunging neckline and oodles of fringe. The following, she continued her hot streak in an embellished Givenchy dress that brought the Gilded Age into the future.

For the 2024 Met Gala, Rosalía kept it sleek and sophisticated with her look from Dior—a black strapless column skirt-set complete with a train that trailed behind her as she walked the famed Met steps. The wool and silk look was comprised of a bustier, straight skirt, and tailcoat, and was accessorized with lambskin gloves and a netted veil. The entire haute couture ensemble took over 1,800 hours of work by members of the atelier.

The singer took the “Sleeping Beauty” theme in a different direction. “Rosa really had this connection with the idea of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and how when you sleep the first thing you do is close your eyes and see black—and to her it felt like a very pure feeling,” says hairstylist Evanie Frausto. “For the hair look, it was a continuation of this feeling of pureness, organic, innocence.”

Below, look at the process of making Rosalía’s 2024 Met Gala dress.
