Every year, the Met Gala red carpet inspires style fanatics everywhere, from beauty lovers who shop at the drugstores that celebrities use while prepping to fashion obsessives who uncover every detail behind intricate looks. Since Met Gala guests often choose extravagant designs, you may be at a loss for what to wear to a watch party or themed get-together. But don’t worry, look no further than the creators of Met Watch Party for how to translate the Met Gala theme into wearable outfits. Instagram holds the event at the Mark Hotel every year, and this year more than fifty fashion creators brought the Met Gala theme to life in a fun and accessible way.
Like the Black Dandyism theme, which translated into fashion, beauty and decor, this year’s dress code “Fashion Is Art” is more accessible than you might think. You can embrace Yves Klein blue with a suit or gown in the vibrant cobalt hue or add a headpiece or floral arrangement (seriously) to your look to give it a dramatic flair. Prints like florals are perfect, and you can go a step further with artistic patterns ranging from graffiti to watercolor. Finally, if you’re out of ideas, a metallic dress is always party-ready.
