The first Monday in May—fashion’s most celebrated holiday! Last night, glitzed-out stars and A-listers took to fashion’s most hallowed stomping grounds to commence the crux of melodramatic red carpet style: the Met Gala. As for designers and their respective muses, who’ve been working tirelessly for this very night, the task at hand was “Gilded Glamour”—a sparkly take on the theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” By the sheer looks of it, everyone did their proper homework.
As for some of the most jaw-dropping moments… Kim Kardashian tried out a sixties-era Marilyn Monroe number for size, Alicia Keys paid homage to her hometown with a custom Ralph Lauren gown and NYC cityscape-adorned cape, Gigi Hadid caught eyes with a red latex corset and pants combo and the puffer of your dreams, Tessa Thompson swooned the crowd in a cascading Carolina Herrera tulle gown, and there were so, so many more looks to discuss.
The annual springtime benefit was co-chaired by power couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who commanded the notorious steps in a bejeweled reversible Versace showpiece and exaggerated copper satin bow, as well as Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Tom Ford, Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour continued their roles as honorary co-chairs. The spectacle marked the first time in three years that the event ran during its traditional calendar date—last year’s gala took place in September.
Bon Met to all who observe! Scroll on for your fashion fix.
