May 03, 2022 at 06:45PM The rumors were true: Kim Kardashian did in fact wear Marilyn Monroe’s dress to the 2022 Met Gala. The reality star turned heads on the red carpet alongside boyfriend Pete Davidson in the famous vintage Jean Louis design that Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in 1962. The dress sold at an auction in 1999 for over a million dollars and was purchased over a decade after for $4.8 million dollars at Julien’s Auctions in 2016. It was later acquired by Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum. According to TMZ, Kardashian’s red carpet moment almost didn’t happen. The museum first denied her request to wear the gown in an effort to preserve the almost 60-year-old style but eventually acquiesced. To avoid damage, Kardashian wore the actual look for…

May 03, 2022 at 06:35PM Dove Cameron had a creative take on this year’s Met Gala inspiration, but you might have missed it at first glance. With a theme like “Gilded Glamour,” many anticipated the red carpet to be full of gold palettes, heavy materials, and grandeur - an exercise in the type of excess that characterized the Gilded Age. So, when Cameron showed up in a delicate, skeletal gown by Iris van Herpen, complete with intricate cutouts and wild structural details, she didn’t initially seem to be on theme. But fans on Twitter say there’s more to this look than originally meets the eye. One user pulled up a photo of a dress from the actual Gilded Age, outlining the stiff structure of the corset and the dramatic arch of the bustle in white, and compared it to the boning details Cameron…

May 03, 2022 at 05:20PM Celebrities kept the party going after the Met Gala as they headed to afterparty celebrations taking place in New York City. One of the gala’s cochairs, Blake Lively, hosted a star-studded crowd at the main party at the Standard Hotel. For the occasion, Lively traded her floor-sweeping, color-changing Atelier Versace gown for a corseted minidress that still reflected the “Gilded Glamour” theme. The red beaded number featured an armor-style bodice and black fringe lining the short, scalloped hem and cap sleeves. She joined the afterparty host Cardi B, who was clad in another Versace ensemble, this time a black halter dress with a plunging neckline and gilded bra cones. “Bridgerton” actress Simone Ashley also made an appearance, embracing color in a belted leather minidress with zippered pockets and contrasting sleeves. It was a departure from her dark corset…

May 03, 2022 at 04:50PM Emma Stone took her wedding afterparty dress for a second spin at the Met Gala. The “Cruella” actor attended the annual fashion event in the feathered white minidress she wore after privately tying the knot with comedian Dave McCary in 2020. Seeing as Stone and McCary kept their nuptials under wraps, this marks the first time she’s publicly offered a peek at her wedding wardrobe. Custom-designed by Louis Vuitton Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière, the flapper-style dress features sheer straps, buttons down both sides, and sequins and ostrich feathers along the hem. Stone styled it with white chain-strap heels, several diamond rings, and simple stud earrings. At first glance, fans were quick to conclude that Stone’s understated dress wasn’t quite in line with the Met Gala’s “Gilded Glamour” theme this year, especially compared to the overly embellished and detailed…

May 03, 2022 at 04:50PM Blake Lively went with another Versace ensemble for her Met Gala afterparty look, this time wearing a red beaded micro minidress by the designer while hitting the party circuit in New York City last night. With its corset-like bodice, which featured a black-and-blood-red beaded hemline, the dress couldn’t be more different from her red carpet look from earlier in the evening. The embroidered sleeves also featured beaded tassels, and the neckline had a classic black lace detail. The 34-year-old actress accessorized the “Moulin Rouge”-inspired outfit with a pair of black strappy Christian Louboutin heels. She also wore multiple rings that featured black and red stones. Lively started off the night in a custom Atelier Versace gown that was full of hidden meanings. There was a giant bow on one side, which created a long train in the back.…

May 03, 2022 at 03:40PM Ciara’s high-slit gown sparkled on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, a look she said was inspired by the “modern woman of Gilded Age” in her interview with livestream host La La Anthony. The one-shoulder design is covered in gleaming metallics rendered in a black and silver zebra print running throughout. Michael Kors helped the singer achieve her vision of “Gilded Glamour”, creating a simple yet refined style for the highly-anticipated event. Though it didn’t pack the dramatic details we’ve come to expect from common Gilded Age dresses, it still had a strong presence on the red carpet. “I’m representing the modern women of Gilded Age,” Ciara told Vogue. “It was all about luxury and opulence back in those times, and that modern woman is all about fashion, she’s pushing fashion forward.” Ciara carried a matching clutch, and…

May 03, 2022 at 04:00AM Cardi B gave Donatella Versace quite the birthday present at the 2022 Met Gala. The fashion event happened to fall this year on the iconic designer’s birthday, May 2, and in celebration, Cardi wore an intricate all-gold creation from the Italian fashion house. Dripping in gold jewelry and chains, the dress was an on-the-nose interpretation of the “Gilded Glamour” theme. “I love the theme,” Cardi told Vogue on the red carpet. “Gilded is gold, it’s regal. It can be any era.” In a making-of video shared with Vogue, Versace craftspeople said the halter-neck dress consisted of seven types of chains, nearly one kilometers of chains and jewelry, and 250 of the brand’s iconic Medusa elements. “She’s so brave to wear it because it’s so heavy,” Versace said. This is Cardi’s third time attending the Met Gala: She previously…

May 03, 2022 at 03:45AM Kylie Jenner walked the 2022 Met Gala red carpet wearing an Off-White design that certainly caught the internet’s attention. The glamorous dress comes from the brand’s fall 2022 couture collection designed by the late Virgil Abloh. Her opulent gown featured a ruched bodice and ruffled skirt, and she accessorized with a matching flower-adorned trucker hat. On Twitter, social media users did what they do best and found plenty of comparisons for Jenner’s bridal-inspired gown. User @trevorsroyle wrote, “idk who told kylie she’s getting married at the #MetGala2022 but they’re down bad for it.” Another compared Kylie’s bridal hat to the wedding-dress photo-shoot scene from the iconic Disney movie “The Parent Trap.” In the scene, Lindsay Lohan’s character watches her mother, played by Elizabeth James, style her designs with a plethora of bridal-inspired hats.

May 03, 2022 at 03:50AM Nicola Coughlan endorsed her “Bridgerton” character’s dress code at the 2022 Met Gala, and she was perfectly on theme. Clad in a pink-and-black Richard Quinn ball gown, the actress transformed into a vision of royal elegance in an ensemble Penelope Featherington would wear in a heartbeat. The floor-sweeping dress featured dramatic mutton sleeves, a sweetheart-neckline corset, and a voluminous waist spilling into a train behind her - all elements that recalled Victorian-era dressing. The billowing design was embellished with floral appliqués and feathers that subtly nodded to her character’s feather quill pen. Coughlan accessorized with opera gloves, a crystal bracelet matching with crystal studs, and a pair of rings. Her blond hair, parted in the middle, allowed for a full view of her pink eyeshadow and lip gloss. Coughlan’s sartorial choice was a master class in making a…
