Let me quickly break out the best dressed looks of the evening and a few quick fashion takeaways because just like in the Devil Wears Prada, this is all trickling down into your wardrobe one way or another by next Fall. There will also be a new found focus on uber luxe fabrics, embellishment, and a trend to dressing up. The net takeaway is accessories transformed the Red Carpet and we all may be wearing incredible religious-themed, stacked paraphernalia and jewels from crucifixes to crowns, tiaras, rings, earrings and bracelets for dressy occasions in the months ahead (with a second inspo from Meghan Markel on May 17th). After all, it’s basically the most viewed runway show in the world or the Oscars of the fashion world. She’s being paid a fortune to keep the brand front and center in the consumer’s mind’s eye. So don’t be surprised that there is an uproar that Kendall Jenner was in a “simple” Off White jumpsuit. This is also an event about designers showcasing their upcoming season to heighten both brand awareness and consumer engagement. It was all there on the Red Carpet from the monastic to the glory of heavenly embellished gowns and crowns highlighting “the enduring influence of religion and liturgical vestments on fashion.”ĭon’t be fooled. It was a stunning display of opulent eye-candy from designers including Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Chanel, and Valentino all of whom have a long history of using religious undertones in their designs.

This is one of the most fascinating themes in years and the far ranging and quite magnificent interpretations made this a spectacular Red Carpet. From all appearances it looked like a spectacular evening. Still the biggest fashion night of the year, A-List celebs and designers have a love-hate relationship with the Gala, because as the New York Post aptly put it, “not everyone is having a ball”. The Crystal Ninja brand has created for her a non-discreet coffee thermos inspired by the aforementioned design, and the truth is that no detail has been left out.Although it’s my first time in eight years not attending the Met Gala, that won’t stop me from opining from the sidelines. In the last hours, she has also referred to it again when she received a most unexpected gift. The Californian liked it so much that in May, she remembered it in front of her followers, and just a few days ago she shared an image of that day on her networks again. The dress in question consisted of a gold bodice set with rhinestones adorned with a front medallion in red, green and blue tones, from which a voluminous maroon skirt with transparencies and metallic embroidery began. Signed by Versace, this design was engraved in the collective imagination and went down in the history of the gala’s red carpet, and it seems that even the actress herself continues to dream of it. Lively did not disappoint and managed to become one of the best dressed of the night, and she dazzled with an impressive baroque style jewel dress that did not fit in any car, in fact, she had to get to the museum by bus. Two and a half years ago, the one who was once the iconic Serena Van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl climbed the stairs for the last time -for now- to enter the emblematic MET Gala.
