The steps of the Metropolitan Museum in New York were filled this Monday with stars in favor of fashion and to praise the art contained in this glamorous industry. It is the long-awaited Met Gala, with its theme, its famous hosts and of course with the haute couture dress parade, which year after year seeks to challenge the limits of reality. In this edition he has achieved it.
A fantasy world inspired by fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty – the exhibition that opens this gala is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening of Fashion – but also a heartfelt tribute to the passage of time and the convergence between technology and nature.
Among the designs that have had the most impact on this red carpet are that of Jennifer López, one of the hosts of the gala, who has worn a spectacular design made with 2,500,000 crystal stones or that of Elle Fanning, who has an advantage in the matter having played Sleeping Beauty in Maleficent.
This has been joined by the princess-cut outfits of Uma Thurman, Ariana Grande and Jessica Biel, among many others who have opted for the fantastic and glamorous concept.
Period princes and wood nymphs have also been sighted on this green carpet at the doors of the metropolitan museum.
With a cape, but without a sword, male faces of the stature of Bad Bunny have brought a Dantesque air to the scene, but the magic has been carried out by celebrities such as the singer Karol G, who has emulated a nymph with pointed ears and long blonde hair As if taken from a dark Tim Burton story, Lana del Rey has advocated the passage of time and nature dressed as a tree.
The Spanish accent has been provided by two great international stars. Actress Elsa Pataky, accompanying her husband Chris Hemsworth – who was acting tonight as one of the hosts – shone in a gold mesh dress and a gold floral crown. After several hours, Penélope Cruz, who was host last year, made her triumphant entrance before the hundreds of paparazzi, wearing a black embroidered dress and a long skirt.
