Ah, the first Monday in May. The first day of the work week is normally rough, but Met Gala Monday fashion gives us the serotonin boost we need to get us through the week, not to mention the incredible style inspiration that will last us all season long.
This year, four trends seemed to emerge: silk, sparkle, sheer fabrics, and feathers. Hailey Bieber floated down the red carpet in a gorgeous white silk gown and robe adorned with feathers, inspired by a YSL look worn by Jerry Hall in 2002. Gemma Chan stunned in a regal Louis Vuitton look. Blake Lively’s jaw-dropping, sparkly gown inspired by New York City included a color transformation on the red carpet. Kendall Jenner wore black sheer looks both on the carpet and to the after party. Emily Ratajkowski and Olivia Rodrigo wore sparkly, colorful looks to the Met Gala. Other sheer standout after party looks included those worn by Winnie Harlow, Camila Mendes, Brooklyn Beckham, and Nicola Peltz.
But possibly the most talked about look of the night was Kim Kardashian’s dress. She wore the sparkling nude translucent dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
The amazing fashion didn’t stop after the red carpet. While Kim Kardashian opted to change into her chic sweats and eat pizza and donuts (totally our vibe), other stars headed to the after parties. Kourtney Kardashian sported a corset LBD, walking hand-in-hand with Travis Barker who made a statement in sparkly tassel pants. Rosalia paired a satin black blazer with her silver dress and a spiky bun. Kacey Musgraves was on-trend in a bright green and white checkered print. Addison Rae stunned in a sheer black gown. Megan Thee Stallion changed out of her gold red carpet look for a stunning leather mini dress. Sebastian Stan switched out his all-pink outfit for an all-black monochromatic look. Lily James and Cardi B sparkled all night long in Versace looks. Scroll below to see more stars stun in their after party looks that also featured the sparkly sheer trends.
