Old-style glamour — especially in black and white — ruled the night air as stars of Hollywood and the fashion world converged on the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening for the annual Costume Institute gala, the biggest event on the New York fashion calendar.
Rihanna took the red carpet Monday at the Met Gala in a fur-trimmed yellow cape with floral swirls of gold and a train so long it required three wranglers.
It was Anna Wintour’s 17th annual Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. Theme of the fashion free-for-all was “China: Through the Looking Glass,” which gave guests the option either to channel the structure of traditional Chinese wear or simply dress as they pleased.
They came as robots and gladiators, light-up princesses and high-haired goddesses shimmering in green, copper and silver.
THE MOST powerful woman of fashion, US Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, once again hosted the ultimate fashion party at the Met in New York. The theme at the Met Gala this year is Manus X Machina. The main colors that evening were silver for women and white for the men.
For the second year, H&M had the privilege of dressing celebrity guests at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute...
The color red made a dramatic show Monday night in the grand parade of fashion at the Met Gala, including co-chair Katy Perry's look, as did glittery gold and blue feathers on the back of Blake Lively. But many of the evening's highlights were courtesy of luminaries who channeled honoree Rei Kawakubo, including Rihanna encased in fluttery petal-like pieces by the Japanese designer.
The annual Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit, or more commonly known as the Met Gala, always gets a ton of buzz. It’s easy to dismiss it as the usual star-studded affair where Rihanna either comes out fashionably on fleek or debuts in outfits that start memes.
Every first Monday in May, Vogue editor Anna Wintour holds a gala night for the benefit of New York Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute. This year, the fashion exhibit was titled “Rei Kawakubo/Comme Des Garçons: The Art of the In Between.”
It’s not a stretch to call the inscrutable, rules-bending fashion of Rei Kawakubo, the founder of Comme des Garçons, esoteric.
