Some of the biggest fashion icons of our time came out in full force last night to mark the annual Met Gala fundraising event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year, the theme was centred around 'Sleeping Beauties', which not only added a fairytale element to the evening but also encouraged guests to think about the historic fashion trends that deserve a Rennaisance.
The dress code for the Met Gala red (or should be say cream and green) carpet itself had the theme of The Garden of Time, based on a short story written by English novelist J.G. Ballard. As Miranda Priestly (who was inspired by long-time Met Gala chair Anna Wintour herself) would say: Florals? For the Met Gala? Groundbreaking. But this isn't just any floral theme.
