Camila Cabello caught everyone’s attention at the Met Gala with her unique ice clutch. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6, where the 2024 Met Gala showcased some unforgettable looks. Her choice of accessory was especially unusual and came with a unique story.
Camila Cabello explained her unique accessory choice to Extra, saying, “I feel like it is impermanence and things decaying over time and the beauty in that.”
True to its theme, the ice clutch didn’t last the night. The former Fifth Harmony star revealed that the purse had transformed during the event. “It was a purse,” she said, “but then it broke about 5 minutes into being in line, so I called my stylist like, ‘What do I do?’”
With some quick thinking, Cabello decided to hold the remaining piece like a clutch and remarked, “We’re just trying things here.”
The clutch wasn’t just a block of ice. Designed by Jane Wade, it also featured a copper rose, echoing the single flower on the gala’s invitations, tying into the overall theme beautifully.
Cabello’s outfit included more nods to the theme of “beauty in decay.” Her stunning gown, designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, weighed 15 pounds and was adorned with 250,000 Swarovski crystals. The dress had intentional rips at the bottom, linking back to her theme of impermanence. To complete her look, she wore iridescent makeup and styled her hair in a “wet” ponytail.
The “Señorita”singer had the gala’s “Garden of Time” theme in mind when assembling her outfit, but she was also inspired by something else — her upcoming album, C,XOXO, set to release on June 28.
“It’s Miami-themed,” she shared with Variety, “so we’re dripping, we’re wet.” This statement not only ties back to her album’s theme, but also cleverly connects with her look and the gala’s overall ambiance.
Fans were quick to react to Camila Cabello’s unique ice purse, noticing that it was actually made from real ice as droplets visibly fell from it. Many initially mistook it for glass until they saw the melting. Concerned comments also emerged, with fans asking about the comfort of her hand, wondering, “Is your hand doing okay?” and even humorously questioning, “How did your hand not fall off?” One fan expressed admiration, exclaiming, “You are incredible! How could you even hold the ice for such a long time?”
The 2024 Met Gala featured the theme “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 story. Celebrities wore outfits that highlighted the brief and changing nature of beauty and time. Check out more outfits here.

Resting on your left side has a positive effect on your brain, digestive system and glymphatic function
The position we choose to sleep can have a profound impact on our overall health, and resting on the left side is particularly beneficial. Although many overlook the importance of sleeping posture, studies suggest that sleeping on the left side offers notable benefits, particularly for brain health, digestive function, and the glymphatic system.
First and foremost, sleeping on the left side is beneficial for brain health. This posture improves the brain’s ability to eliminate waste products through the glymphatic system, which is essential for eliminating toxins and metabolic byproducts. Efficient waste disposal during sleep can reduce the risk of developing neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
In addition, this sleeping position is beneficial for digestive health. Since the stomach and pancreas are located on the left side of the body, sleeping on this side supports the natural flow of digestive juices and enzymes. This can improve digestion and help prevent problems such as acid reflux and heartburn. In addition, sleeping on the left side can relieve the symptoms of digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
In addition to brain and digestive health, sleeping on your left side can also improve circulation and reduce snoring. By relieving pressure on the major blood vessels, this position promotes better blood flow throughout the body, which is beneficial for cardiovascular health and can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Additionally, keeping the airway open while sleeping on your left side can reduce the likelihood of snoring, resulting in more restful sleep for both the sleeper and their partner
While the benefits of sleeping on your left side are obvious, choosing a sleeping position should take individual comfort and preferences into account. If sleeping on your left side is uncomfortable or inconvenient for some, that’s perfectly acceptable. The key is to find a sleeping position that ensures good, uninterrupted rest.
In summary, sleeping on your left side may provide numerous health benefits, including improved brain function, improved digestion, and better circulation. By aiding waste disposal, supporting digestion, and promoting cardiovascular health, this sleeping position could lead to a more refreshing and healthy sleep experience. Next time you settle into bed, try sleeping on your left side, it could be a step toward a healthier, more restful night’s sleep.
