The category was Gilded Glamour! Several celebs totally understood the assignment while serving up luxury and opulence with their creative takes on this year’s theme. Others, not so much. Revisit all the looks inside…
It’s the Oscars of fashion! That’s right. The biggest night in fashion went down last night at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and several of your faves were attendance putting their best fashion foot forward.
This year’s theme: Gilded Glamour! The Met Gala’s dress code is white tie - think formal floor-length ballgowns and tailcoats for men. Attendees were asked to embody the grandeur of “Gilded Age New York." That era - between 1870 & 1900 - was all about the DRAMA - ruffles, corsets, feathers, bustles, gloves, hats, and high necklines. Luxury and opulence is what the wealthy embodied with extravagant garments during the era.
Cardi B nailed the theme:
The Grammy winning raptress STUNNED in a gold chained Atelier Versace gown that slayed the “Gilded Glamour” theme while staying true to designer Donatella Versace’s aesthetic.
It took a kilometer of gold chains and jewelry to finish Cardi’s dress that looked heavy to walk in.
"This is what I wanted to give," the “UP” raptress - who welcomed her son Wave last September - said on the carpet. “I wanted to give woman and Donatella [Versace] brings that woman. No lipo surgery could bring this body that my son gave me .... It's giving, it's giving, it's giving."

WE. WERE. GAGGING when Normani hit the carpet!
The singer made a grand entrance in a black velvet cascading bubble gown by Christian Siriano that took 40 yards of black silk velvet to make. It was originally made in red and then changed to black four days ago.
UGH. We can hardly stand it.
Surprise! Nicki Minaj made an appearance in a ruffled black leather Burberry ensemble topped with a black leather baseball cap. Not really giving "Gilded Glamour" to us.
As she made her way up the stairs, she stopped to pop off on someone who supposedly "leaked" she was going to be there. Some fans believe she was serious while other think she was just joking:
Guess she had to ruffle some feathers for the drama of it all.
A MOMENT! Or, three!
Janelle Monae gave us "performance" as she perfectly posed in a g sparkly black Ralph Lauren gown with a circular train that gave the gworls Gilded Glamour and elements of "Janelle" that includes her signature black-and-white aesthetic.
Perfection.
Lizzo clearly understood the assignment because she came with the embroidered drama like no other!
Styled by Jason Rembert, the "Juice" singer made her way down the carpet in a hand-embroidered gold and black coat (that took 22,000 hours to make) and black gown by Thom Browne. The entertainer's gold choker necklace was made by Lorraine West. As for her best accessory: her flute!
Another look that nailed the theme:
The peekaboo dress with a corset that gave a fashion forward edge. Model Precious Lee nailed it in Altuzarra. Def was GIVING.
Another Met Gala winner:
The corset. The gloves. The hair.
Spider-Man: Far From Home star Laura Harrier totally nailed the Gilded Glamour theme in Victor Glemaud and H&M. Like, we have no words.
Singer SZA was another celeb who understood the theme and executed. She turned heads in a hot pink strapless dress and an extra-large black Vivienne Westwood hat.

Also...
Have Mercy! Chloe Bailey never misses when it comes to red carpet fashion.
For last night's Met Gala (sans her sister Halle Bailey), the "Treat Me" singer showed off her curves in a glittery gold structured strapless Area dress. She leveled up her look with two gold wings as a choker and reflective gold pumps.
Another one of our fave looks from the night: Tessa Thompson.

The CREED star sashayed down the carpet in a Barbie pink Carolina Gerrera gown that featured a corset and tiered ruffles (styled by Wayman + Miach) that created a princess moment as she made her way up the stairs.
Sis, ATE!
Golden Gilded Glam indeed!
Fresh from celebrating the receipt of her own day in Houston, Megan Thee Stallion snapped it up on the carpet in a Moschino gown that featured gleaming feathers and brocade.
For her 2nd Met Gala event, she joined Moschino designer Jermey Scott and "West Side Story" actress Ariana DeBose, who was also in Moschino.
Gabrielle Union WOWED in a Versace gown that paid tribute to trailblazing actress Diahann Carroll, who died in 2019 at 84.
"So this is inspired by Diahann Carroll, a symbol of opulence and if you will, a gilded glamor."
"This is from Versace, they've been working on these looks for many, many, many months and from sketch to the execution is dead-on," she told VOGUE on the carpet. "I kind of get a little emotional when you talk about everything that goes into the making of this dress and what inspired it."
Her husband Dwayne Wade - who went shirtless - also rocked Versace:
Model Naomi Campbell's look gave rich b**** vibes. She pulled up on the carpet in a black and silver floor length bejeweled Burberry gown, accessorized with a 18-karat yellow gold Jacob & Co. choker that is valued at $6.6 million. The extravagant choker took about two years to source and create. Sheesh!
Teyana Taylor served up several moments in this whimsical Iris van Herpen ensemble.
Model Winnie Harlow looked like a work of art in Iris van Herpen.
Always representing!
Alicia Keys and her husband Swizz Beatz got dressed up in Ralph Lauren threads to represent their beloved state of New York.
Lori Harvey - sans her actor boyfriend Michael B. Jordan - made her way down the carpet in a custom Michael Kors gown that featured a cutout, showing off her toned abs. Pretty look, but not necessarily Gilded Glamour.
Tennis superstar Venus Williams - in a Chloe suit - hit the Met Gala red carpet alongside actress Amy Schumer and climate justice activists Xiye Bastida and Gabriela Hearst. We're not sure how/why this happened, but it did. Maybe they're working on something together.
Cynthia Erivo dazzled in a white lace Louis Vuitton gown with a feathered train.
The British actress explained, “We wanted to find something that felt like it was Gilded Glamour, so we have a layering of different textures and fabrics.”
As she showed off her head scarf, she said, “We’re trying to tie the American lexicon together, and this is inspired by women of Louisiana from the 1800s, who had to cover their hair for necessity… I wanted to tie those things together because those women don’t get the credit they deserve for the fashion.”
Ciara went for a metallic zebra-print dress by Michael Kors where she channeled the "modern woman of the Gilded Age." Peep her interview above.
Inside...
Erykah Badu whipped out her cellphone right after Lenny Kravitz performed at the Met Gala and gave us a sneak peek and what was going down. Peep the clips - that features Janelle Monae, Jon Baptiste, Naomi Campbell, Anderson Paak, and Winnie Harlow above.
