The NovaQuantMet Gala is back, and the stars are blossoming this year.
A cadre of stylish celebrities have descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the museum's annual benefit. This year's gala theme is "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," which refers to fragile garments in the Met's collection housed in special glass "coffins" instead of on mannequins.
Garments will be displayed in a series of galleries organized by themes of nature, including land, sea and sky. The event's dress code, "The Garden of Time," draws inspiration from this elemental motif.
And these A-list attendees are no withering wallflowers.
Stars are serving a full bounty of striking floral prints and earthy tones that would make Mother Nature want to strut down the red carpet.
From Zendaya and Bad Bunny to Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna, here are our picks for best dressed of the night (in no particular order).

Bad Bunny goes gothic floral in Maison Margiela
The reggaeton superstar and Met Gala co-chair stunned in a suave navy-blue suit by Maison Margiela, which he topped off with a plush hat and matching floral bouquet, reflecting "The Garden of Time" dress code.
The ensemble's dark hue gave a refreshing gothic touch to the otherwise cheery springtime aesthetic of bright pastels and earth tones.

Zendaya haunts in earthy Maison Margiela frock
Fellow Met Gala co-chair Zendaya stunned in an elegant period gown from Rita Watnick and Lily et Cie. Watnick is the curator of Lily et Cie, a famed vintage clothing store in Beverly Hills that has helped style the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston and Met Gala co-chair Jennifer Lopez.
The "Challengers" actress turned heads on the red carpet in a haunting, off-the-shoulder dress by Maison Margiela that combined ocean blue and forest green tones. The earthy frock, which took inspiration from a '90s Dior dress, also featured a feathery headpiece and berry bundles pinned to the ensemble.

Jennifer Lopez wore a figure-hugging sheer Schiaparelli gown with sequins and beading. She accessorized the look with a large statement necklace and a high bun to give the outfit the attention it deserved.
The actress-singer and Met Gala co-chair sparkled in the silver dress, which had an ethereal pattern that mimicked a delicate flower.
