The Met Gala 2023, which took place in New York on May 1, did not fail to make people talk about it. And for good reason: during this edition, which honored fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld, some celebrities paraded in magnificent bridal dresses. Creations that may inspire your future wedding outfits.
It is one of the best-known charity events in the world. The charity evening, organized for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York, was held on Monday, May 1. As usual, she brings together the fashion industry and celebrities to mark the start of the Costume Institute’s annual exhibition. Considered one of the most glamorous and chic fundraisers in the United States, fashion lovers around the world were eagerly awaiting it again this year. They were not disappointed. The looks of the stars wowed us, as always. For this new edition of the Met Gala, organized each year by Anna Wintour – popess of fashion and editor-in-chief of American Vogue (since 1988, editor’s note ), the theme honored Karl Lagerfeld and his heritage.
Each of the guests, therefore, redoubled their creativity to pay tribute to the stylist, who died on February 19, 2019, also in the spotlight at the annual exhibition. If last year, the extravagant outfits – in particular thanks to the “ Gilded Glamour ” or “Golden Glamour” dress code, showed us all the colors, this year, they were generally much more sober. Many celebrities have, of course, walked the red carpet wearing black, white, or both colors, as well as more or less subtle nods to the famous fashion house Chanel (the late couturier was the artistic director of the brand from 1983 to his death, editor’s note ). But to our surprise, we were also able to discover celebrities wearing wedding dresses! And, we are certain, some of these iconic dresses will become real sources of inspiration for your future nuptials.
1. Penelope Cruz in a Chanel dress
Spanish actress Penelope Cruz caught all the attention with a vintage Chanel haute couture wedding dress. It is, in fact, an archive piece, dating from 1988, designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself. A beautiful, sparkling creation fit for a princess! For those who dream of a fairy tale wedding, this fairy dress is perfect.
Marked waist, predominant petticoat, sublime sweetheart neckline, and of course, the highlight of the show: this incredible veil hood that highlights her final look. She also had the task – accompanied by singer Dua Lipa, tennis player Roger Federer and comedian and actress Michaela Coel, to preside over the event.
2. Alia Bhatt in a Prabal Gurung dress
The sublime British actress and singer, Alia Bhatt, chose to wear a magnificent white dress embroidered with 10,000 pearls for her entry on the red carpet. A masterpiece by Nepalese-American fashion designer Prabal Gurung. This divine creation has a pretty round neckline and impressive volume at the hips.
Have you noticed the detail on his left hand that makes all the difference? Yes, Alia Bhatt wears a matching mitten with her dress, in honor of Karl Lagerfeld. This can be a great source of inspiration for you if you are looking to dress your hands but don’t necessarily want to cover yourself too much with gloves. Refined mittens will be the ideal chic and original alternative. When we tell you that the details make all the difference!
3. Rihanna in a Valentino dress
Rihanna also caused a sensation in an XXL white hooded coat. But watch out, a coat embroidered with camellia, please! This flower is one of the emblems of the Chanel house. One thing is certain: she did not go unnoticed on the red carpet.
The 35-year-old star pregnant with her second child then unveiled a sublime white Valentino dress. We find again a camellia flower on this one, in the middle of his chest. The singer also accessorized everything with a pair of white sunglasses, ultra trendy at the moment for future brides, so take some seed, especially if you want to bring a touch of modernity to your wedding outfit!
4. Halle Bailey in a Gucci dress
American actress Halle Bailey, starring in the new remake of The Little Mermaid, also walked the red carpet in a wedding dress. But it was with a very modern Gucci creation that she captivated everyone. A lace and rhinestone piece with an incredible ruffled cape that could come straight out of the magical world of Ariel.
This is probably one of the most original dresses of this Met Gala! This is why you too should dare to wear a dress that is off the beaten track, but which resonates strongly with your deep desires. An outfit like this would be perfect for a seabed wedding theme.
5. Dua Lipa in a Chanel dress
Dua Lipa, like Pénélope Cruz, opted for a vintage Chanel creation. The beautiful singer wore a wedding dress from the fall-winter 1992 haute couture collection. Did you know that model Claudia Schiffer also wore this dress in 1992 during a Chanel show? This is an amazing outfit made from white and black tweed.
The top of the dress is still very trendy at the moment since it has been designed like a corset, a key piece in our wardrobes for several seasons, known for enhancing any silhouette. Finally, the singer also wore a magnificent Tiffany & co necklace to enhance the whole thing.
