The bustier was designed by Schiaparelli whereas the saree and the jewelry were designed by Sabyasachi. She kept her hair sleek open, for her makeup she opted for a bold winged eyeliner, metallic eyeshadow, beaming highlighter, and a nude pink lip shade.

Gigi surprised everyone by straying from the Met Gala's traditional attire.

According to her designer, her outfit was a modern definition of a coat from the late 1800s.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker arrived on the red carpet wearing a ball gown made of silk, and taffeta that featured a fitted top by Christopher John Rogers

The gown was inspired by “Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley” who was the first black female designer. The veil was inspired by the opulence as well as decadence of the Gilded Age. 

She finished her look with an updo and a fascinator which was designed by Philip Treacy. 

Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish certainly understood how to make a fashion statement, even though her look was no different but her look truly paid homage to this year’s theme of Gilded Glamor.

Her look was inspired by the John Singer Sargent portrait of Madame Paul Poirson which was painted in 1885. 

She tied her raven locks into a bun and carried a choker with a corsage similar to the portrait of Madame Poirson. She paired her outfit with vegan beige platform shoes. 

She not only upcycled her look but also upcycled her entire outfit. Yes! Her outfit was eco-friendly, Amazing, right?

She carried her outfit with a sleek bun, roseate smokey eyes, and pink nude lip shade. Just adorable!

Cardi B

Cardi B made an impressive outlandish entrance, not just dripping in gold Versace but also coming out from a Versace Barocco print-wrapped convertible. 

Her outfit gilded the theme in a custom Atelier Versace gown embellished with a kilometer of golden chains along with the brand’s signature “Medusa head medallions” that took around 20 Versace artisans more than 1,300 hours to complete.

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner wore an off-White bridal dress and backward baseball cap veil at Met Gala 2022. She wore a tiered tulle skirt and a mesh-net T-shirt with the logo “Off”. 

Due to her offbeat outfit, people criticized her but without caring about them she carried herself like a star and ofcourse, she is looking so pretty!

Basically, her outfit was meant to honor the late designer Virgil Abloh who died last year. It was a great tribute to one of the greatest American talents in the fashion industry.
