Jodie Turner-Smith‘s 2024 Met Gala look had a deep meaning, and it was partly inspired by her breakup from Joshua Jackson. The 37-year-old actress made her Met Gala debut alongside Joshua back in 2022. She filed for divorce in late 2023, bringing an end to their relationship. On Monday (May 6), Jodie returned to the biggest night in fashion as a single woman. Taking to social media after, she explained that her white gown was “deliberately bridal” and alluded to the most important relationship she is focusing on after her separation.

Jodie opened up about her separation for the first time earlier this year.
