Gilded glamour came to life thanks to performers who turned the MetGala red carpet into their stage.
– Hoyeon Jung, Emma Stone, and Cynthia Erivo among them –arrived on the carpet wearing a piece from the brand’s archives styled to mesh with their tastes. Adut Akech went back even further by selecting an emerald green Christian Lacroix gown from Shrimpton Couture and wearing it with supermodel swagger.
Revisiting these old-school looks proved how forward-thinking the work of designers like Lacroix and Ghesquière is, but the night’s biggest archival coup belonged to Kim Kardashian. Moments before the carpet was set to end, the reality star emerged in the Jean Louis gown Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 to serenade John F Kennedy on his birthday. A history lesson with a modern verve, it brought an eventful evening to a close.
