If you couldn’t keep up with everything that happened at the MET gala, don’t worry. We’re here to help! The long-awaited ball, or Costume Institute Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, has been – and will continue to be – the talk of the town this week in New York. Glamurama has the scoop.
* Right at the door, the nearly 800 guests were greeted by Anna Wintour, from Vogue U.S., fashion designer Stella McCartney and François Pinault, businessman from the group PPR, responsible for Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Bottega Veneta, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Soon after that, the visitors went through an exhibition in honor of Alexander McQueen, one of the most incredible curators that the museum has ever had. It was very thrilling and touching! ? ?
* British singer Florence, from Florence and the Machine, was beautiful with a white outfit designed by Yves Saint Laurent. She was indeed responsible for one of the highlights of the night when she took the stage for a pocket show, including the hit single "Dog Days Are Over", of course. Who seemed to enjoy the performance the most? Karl Lagerfeld, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Naomi Campbell. ? ?
* And since Brazilians make any party way cooler, there were a lot of us on the list: Rodrigo Santoro was in a Lanvin tux, Amalia Spinardi wore Pucci, and Matheus Mazzafera, Daniel Urzedo and Marcio Camargo, who led his partner Gabriela Vianna, in a gown designed especially for her. "Vera Wang asked me if it was a Balmain. I said it was from a Brazilian brand and she said: ‘It’s amazing,’ "said Gabriela. ? ?
* The evening’s main looks? Gisele Bundchen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Daphne Guinness, Naomi Campbell, Salma Hayek, Raquel Zimmermann and even Sarah Burton all wore McQueen, Blake Lively arrived with Karl Lagerfeld, wearing Chanel, bien sûr, Madonna invested in a blue Stella McCartney, inspired The Duchess of Windsor, Anna Dello Russo didn’t disappoint her fans and came up with a rather, shall we say, exotic look: hat designed by Alan Journo – with an egg as a prop -, Bulgari accessories and an Alexander McQueen tuxedo. Hostess Anna Wintour was wearing Chanel, as she has often done for years. ? ?
* The most elegant were Claire Danes, in a Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, Liv Tyler in a light feathered Givenchy, Renée Zellweger, wearing a golden sleeved Carolina Herrera and Diane Kruger in a Jason Wu. And what else caught our attention? The powerful accessories, especially necklaces. Madonna wore a breathtaking Cartier necklace. Penelope Cruz and model Jessica Stam chose pieces from Chopard and then on. ? ?
* Later that night, the guests were so at ease that the women’s restroom turned into an informal smokehouse – Glamurama knows that Gwyneth Paltrow, Mary-Kate Olsen and Patrick Dempsey made pitstops. And after a good party, there is nothing better than an after party. People who were still up for it went to clubs like The Crown, destination of Madonna and Paul McCartney, and Boom Boom Room. A night to remember!
