The biggest night in fashion celebrated old Hollywood glamour where many Hollywood stars showcased amazing looks on the red carpet.This year’s theme centers around the “Gilded Age”.
The theme is actually a continuation of last year’s Met Gala that was titled “In America: A Lexicon in Fashion,”which looked at modern fashion in the U.S. But this year’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” looks at the historical fashion in the Met’s American Wing.The dress code itself is “gilded glamour, white tie.”Combined with the museum exhibit featuring men’s and women’s dresses dating from the eighteenth century to the present.
So now that you understand the background of this year’s theme, let’s take a look at
our favorite 5 picks from women’s looks this year:
