Flowers were everywhere, in line with this year’s theme: “The Garden of Time”. (This year’s theme is inspired by JG Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name.)
Mindy Kaling is sure to make the best-dressed lists in sand-coloured swirls that towered over her head at the back. No worries about dinner. The back was removable. Her look was by Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta.
Usher held a single red rose in a dark and eery black suit can cap, a wide-brim black hat on his head and a black brooch on one lapel.
FASHION KINGS AND QUEENS … AND A GOOD WITCH
Gigi Hadid brought the drama in a look by the drama king himself, Thom Browne. Her white look was adorned with 2.8 million microbeads with yellow flowers and green thorns. She was high glam in a wavy bob and crimson lips.
If there’s a queen of the Met Gala besides the evening’s mastermind, Anna Wintour, it’s Sarah Jessica Parker. The long-time attendee takes each year’s theme seriously, researching every detail. This year she was in an Alice in Wonderland dress with a lavender overlay and a Philip Treacy topper on her head. The dress was by Richard Quinn. Her long hair tumbled behind her back in beachy waves, a look that built into a beauty trend of the evening.
Serena Williams took metallic gold to another level in a shining one-shoulder statement look. Ariana Grande was all Glinda the Good Witch, making the most of her pale-coloured strapless look with 3D eyelashes at the side of each eye. She arrived with her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, dressed in black with pink petals in a darker, edgy look.
