The Met Gala, or the Costume Institute Gala is an event where fashion meets fundraising. The most iconic stars from the entertainment and fashion world come together to celebrate and recognize the opening of the Costume Institute’s fashion exhibit. Without a doubt, those in attendance celebrate in style. Here are some of the must see Met Gala moments from 2015.
Model Lilly Aldridge stays true to this years spring color palate by choosing a light blue pastel colored gown. The Carolina Herrera dress is both simple, yet striking and is complimented by an equally effortlessly chic up do. To top it all off, the model added a little bit of drama by nixing a classic color and added a dark lip instead.
Aside from her musical talent, Rihanna is best known for taking fashion risks. At this year’s Met Gala, Rihanna awed fashion moguls once again by opting to sport a bright gold, fur trimmed robe. According to Eonline, the singer informed reporters that the dress took years to make and was designed and constructed by one woman, Guo Pei.
Sarah Jessica Parker proves she can be just as fashion forward as her fictional character, Carrie Bradshaw. Wearing custom H&M and Phillip Treacy headpiece, the actress trades simplicity for something a bit more edgy. To pull it all together, Parker dusted her eyes with jade green shadow and paired it with a nude lip color.
Time and time again, Reese Witherspoon manages to make a lasting impression in the fashion field. She does this not by wearing a costume inspired gown, but by adding statement pieces. This year, her simple, scarlet Jason Wu dress was transformed into something extraordinary by adding largely intricate Tiffany and Company jewelry. Witherspoon kept her hair simple and her eyes dramatic to finish her simply chic look.
Miley Cyrus keeps her personal style and adds a touch of elegance at this year’s Met Gala. Wearing a black studded Alexander Wang dress, Cyrus seemed to be wearing something a bit more reserved for her typical free-spirited dress. However, the singer did add a little more interest by dying her hair a greyish, blue hue.
Overall, The Met Gala is different than most star-studded events as it calls those in attendance to fundraise, as well as show off their most fashion forward looks. Each year, it is exciting to see how each celebrity will top their past years look.
