DO judge these books by their covers! Waterstones match the most outlandish Met Gala looks with their favourite reads - and the results are surprisingly good
Waterstones has matched the Met Gala's outlandish outfits with book covers including Sylvia Plath - and the results are stunning.
The Met Gala is one of the biggest nights in fashion and is held at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Each year has a different theme with models and A-list celebrities showcasing dazzling outfits from top designers.
The 2024 event, held on Monday, was themed 'Garden of Time', taken from a short story from J.G. Ballard's short story of the same name.
Writing on Twitter/X, Waterstones said: 'With a theme like The Garden of Time, there's no way we could resist matching the 2024 Met Gala #LooksToBooks!'
