5. Met Gala White Dress
The 2023 Met Gala’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” provided celebrity guests with plenty of ideas for their red carpet looks, including numerous white dresses. While white eveningwear has become an increasingly popular trend recently, its presence was particularly striking at last night’s gala, which celebrated Lagerfeld’s legacy and raised funds for the Met Costume Institute.
As expected, many of the night’s most recognizable faces wore white dresses in tribute to late designer Azzedine Alaa. Blackpink member Jennie Kim made headlines for wearing an eye-catching minidress, which caused Google searches for it to surge by 564%, according to reports. Her stunning piece featured long sleeves with pieces doubled up as train and high neckline pieces; additionally she accessorized it with gold earrings and rings for an exquisite finish.
Lea Michele made an impactful statement with her glittery silver dress by Michael Kors that featured fringe. While Lea’s choice may have been more lavish than our Aliyah Dress, its style makes for the ideal bridal attire if your aesthetic leans more toward more-is-more. Anne Hathaway stood out even further by showing off an eye-catching white lace bridal-inspired dress adorned with black sequins – another statement style bride should take note!
At fashion’s premier event, two attendees arrived wearing strikingly similar outfits. At what seems like an anomalous choice at an event overseen by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, Olivia Wilde and Vogue China editor Margaret Zhang both chose white and gold Chloe dresses – Wilde with her iconic “House” clutch and earrings while Zhang added some edge with some stylish sunglasses.
