You going to the office or the Met Gala? Eddie Redmayne wears dress as he matches wife Hannah Bagshawe - but edgy look misses the mark with corporate shoes and socks combo

Eddie Redmayne stood out from the crowd as he arrived at the 2024 Met Gala with his wife Hannah Bagshawe at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday. 

The actor, 42, pushed the boundaries for fashion's biggest night, opting for an androgynous look that he matched with his wife, 41.

Eddie wore a black blazer dress with a white net skirt and featuring sheer cut out panels and a wavy ink blot pattern.

Flashing a cheeky glimpse of his legs, the Oscar winner completed the look with corporate shoes and socks.

Hannah complemented her husband in a strapless gown with the same pattern and a corsetted bodice, showcasing her tiny waist.

Her dress boasted a wide pleated net skirt, while she added sheer evening gloves and a matching black fascinator.

She gave her petite frame a few extra inches of height in black velvet high heels as she held hands with Eddie.

Hannah and Eddie met in 2000 at a charity fashion show while attending Eton College, striking up a friendship.

They later started dating in January 2012 after Eddie invited her to a trip to Florence during a shooting break for Les Miserables.

The couple got engaged in June 2014 and went on to tie the knot in December that year at the Babington House.

Eddie and Hannah are the proud parents of eight-year-old daughter Iris, eight, and six-year old son Luke.

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.

Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year's co-chairs.  Also on the committee is Vogue's Anna Wintour.

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection - with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky. 

'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition. 

'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'

Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet. 

Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham are hosting while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview stars on the red carpet.
