Of course if someone’s going to nail any costume party, it must be Rihanna! Donned in an imperial yellow fur-trimmed robed, Riri has – yet again – gone all out! It was made by no other than Beijing-based Chinese couturier Guo Pei, whose works will also be put on display for this year’s Met exhibition in which the theme is “China: Through The Looking Glass.”
However, before we precede ooh-ing and aah-ing to this year’s red carpet show of haute couture fashion collections, taupe lips to bold inky eye makeup, and high-profile jewelry designer donned celebrities, let’s first define what Met Gala is.
Met Gala is formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, which was annually celebrated as a fundraising event that would benefit Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City.
Each year, the guests are free to choose their formal dresses as long as it conforms to the theme of the exhibit.
The museum was founded around the 1870s and was originally located in the Fifth Avenue. It has a wide range of arts collections such as the paintings and sculptures from famous, classical masters across Europe. It also includes art from the African, Asian, and Oceanic region of the world in different timelines – from classics to modern.
In this year’s exhibit, the y will feature more than a hundred couture and ready-to-wear pieces of Western fashion influenced by the Chinese art in low-lit galleries.
The exhibition is just half the part of this annual high-profile event.
Under the management of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the guest-list for this year’s gala will be the other half of the entertainment.
This year’s theme has been the cause of apprehension for some spectators, as the red carpet will be a carnival show of stereotypes. So, to avoid such incidences, they predicted many will opt for a little red in there and a little gold in that for safety precaution. But of course, there are the risk-takers. Take a look at some of these celebrities.
Aside from Riri’s attention grabbing – and space-taking – robe is Solange Knowles Giles Deacon Dress with an abstract, galaxy-looking design in a Christian Louboutin shoes.
Kate Hudson in her Michael Kors dress is just one of the many celebrities that wore the scene’s bronze and gold staple. Others include Fan Bingbing in a gold dress worn with a cape, Anne Hathaway in a Ralph Lauren hooded-dress, and Feifei Sun in another Michael Kors dress.
Sarah Jessica Parker in H&M dress turned up at the gala with flaming-red headpiece.
She does not just turned heads, but her photos boomed in the internet next to Rihanna. She really took the theme by heart.
