With a theme as broad as Fashion is Art, the Met Gala ran the risk of seldom few showstoppers, though I didn’t imagine it would be this somber.
Apparently everyone interpreted the dress code as nude sculptures that wouldn’t be out of place in the exhibition’s section dedicated to that.
One motif that popped up was hands, with Lena Mahfouf in custom Burc Akyol with hands covering her breasts, Nichapat Suphap was in custom Robert Wun with robotic hands, and Sabine Getty had hands caressing her body in a custom Ashi Studio.
Vogue red carpet host Ashley Graham and Naomi Osaka also played up their hands with painted digits, while Queen Bey’s exoskeleton extended to her fingertips.
But hands down the look of the night is once again Emma Chamberlain, the influencer and Vogue red carpet host who killed it in custom Mugler by Miguel Castro Freitas, inspired by the butterfly look of Thierry Mugler Spring/Summer 1997 Couture. She routinely puts the big stars on notice.
Chase Infiniti and Yu-Chi Lyra Kuo in custom Jean Paul Gaultier that referenced the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue were also standouts.
