Let's talk THE MET GALA!

The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday of May, and if you're anything like me, you excitedly await this day every year. This annual fundraising event is held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City and is every fashion lover's dream to attend. The 2022 Met Gala was themed Gilded Glamour and guests offered many different yet stunning interpretations of said dress code, so let's take a look at some highlights from the night!

One of my favorite looks was done by Hailey Bieber. Hailey's elegant Saint Laurent dress perfectly aligns with the theme and event itself and makes her look so effortlessly beautiful. The white feathers and high neck are incredible, I'm so glad Hailey is finally being dressed to match her natural beauty.

For the Kardashians/Jenners, this was the first time that all of the ladies attended the MET together and some of them delivered amazingly. Starting off with Khloe Kardashian, she served in a floor-length, sheer gold Moschino dress that was styled with long black gloves, which truly elevated this look beyond its' simplicity. As for Kendall Jenner, she takes one of the best skirts of the night in my opinion. Kendall killed the long black, poofy Prada skirt look beautifully and the mesh top really modernizes and challenges the theme, which I admire. I wasn't really a fan of the bleached eyebrows on her though. Aprops to Kylie Jenner, I didn't really like her athletic look, but I didn't hate the poofy white skirt, I just think these two styles didn't pair correctly with one another and she almost looked like a bride. Kris Jenner looked like on the sisters at the Met, channeling her inner Jackie O and hitting all the marks with her stunning one-shoulder, flowy light yellow gown. The white glove and hairdo complete this look perfectly. Saving the best for last, Kim Kardashian absolutely blew me away wearing the iconic dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 to sing President John F. Kennedy "Happy Birthday". This piece of fashion history is a gorgeous skintight gown adorned with more than 6,000 hand-sewn crystals by costumier Jean Louis. Kim said she had to lose 16 lbs prior to the event in order to fit in the dress properly and she's even rocking the platinum blonde hair just like Marilyn.

Like Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, this was also Maude Apatow's first Met Gala and she killed it. When I first saw Maude's look I instantly fell in love with it because of how beautifully it matches the theme and herself. Maude wore stunning jewelry pieces by Cartier to complement her stunning off the shoulder dress by Miumiu. I love the hairstyle as well, very old-fashioned and on point!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are one of my fave celebrity couples, and if there's one person who understood the assignment of this year's Met Gala, it's Blake. Blake made quite a statement for her return to the Met in a custom copper Versace dress with a huge bow on the hip. Following the grand unveiling of the gown, Blake's dress switched from its' original color to a gorgeous green gown. What makes Blake's dress even more special however is the inspiration behind it. The gown itself is meant to symbolize the oxidation process of the Statue of Liberty, as it was originally copper and now stands a much greener shade. These cohosts truly know what they are doing when it comes to fashion!

(Blake even matches her looks to the carpet itself every year!)

Another amazing dress reveal was displayed by one of my all time favorite celebrities and idols, Sydney Sweeney. Sydney is a Tory Burch Brand Ambassador and they dressed her in a custom coreseted mini dress with a removable ball skirt in ivory taffeta and a glitter tulle overlay and it looked A-ma-zing! Love that this look truly complements Sydney herself, plus this was also her first Met!

Although most of the men that attend the Met do wear suits, I have to give credit where it is deserved... Jacob Elordi looked dashing as ever in his custom Burberry wool suit, hand-embroidered with crystal embellishments in the Equestrian Knight Deisgn with a silk tie and patent leather shoes.

Shawn Mendes also had a unique take on the typical suit and was seen wearing an upcycled, custom Tommy Hilfiger look. While some were saying this outfit resembled Doctor Strange, I think it is a very classical piece that embodies the theme nicely.

And to end tonight's post, Hugh Jackman looked straight off the set of The Greatest Showman in his stunning Tom Ford suit. I love the old-fashioned style of this suit that still looks modern.
