Jennifer Lopez’s Met Gala dress has 2.5 million beads — here’s how long it took to make

That “crazy little girl” from the Bronx is in full bloom, baby. 

As co-chair of the 2024 Met Gala, Jennifer Lopez, 54, sent tongues wagging in a “true couture creation” by Schiaparelli that took “about 800 hours” of work and features 2.5 million bugle beads.

“I wanted to be perfect for the Sleeping Beauties [theme],” said the super-vixen of her desire to match the theme of the Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

Jenny from the Block — who’s rocked the Met red carpet an impressive 14 times — boasted a voluptuous figure in the sparkly, see-through shift. The number, too, came embellished with a butterfly motif to nail the evening’s dress code: “The Garden of Time.”

She explained that hosting the fete, alongside Zendaya, Anna Wintour, Chris Hemsworth and Bad Bunny, hasn’t been “that bad.”

“Anna calls you, you have a lovely dinner the night before, you host, you get to greet all the guests,” Lopez explained of her posh duties. “It’s not that bad. It’s quite the honor. It’s nice.”

J.Lo’s gala glam comes after weeks of the New York native catching social media hellfire for allegedly exaggerating some of her childhood experiences in the Big Apple.
