Lily Gladstone Illuminates Met Gala 2024 with Ancestral Star-Themed Ensemble

The actress showcased a culturally rich gown featuring 500 stars, symbolizing her Native American heritage.

Lily Gladstone, acclaimed for her role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon', made a striking appearance at the Met Gala with a gown designed by Gabriela Hearst and Kiowa jeweler Keri Ataumbi.
The dress featured an intricate design of 500 silver stars, representing nine constellations as viewed from the Great Plains.
Gladstone’s ensemble was inspired by the belief of her Kiowa and Blackfeet heritage that their ancestors are in the stars.
The collaboration between Hearst and Ataumbi aimed to reflect Native American perspectives on astronomy, rather than Western views.
Gladstone’s Met Gala debut was part of a broader narrative of celebrating Indigenous culture and achievements in high-profile venues.
