Met Gala Lookbook: ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’

With the Met Gala inches away, you aim for an ethereal and artistic ambiance inspired by some of your favorite pieces of culture, whether in fashion, film, or art. Let’s delve deeper into some curated looks to wear at the McMullen Museum this Friday: 

MET GALA 2018: HEAVENLY BODIES 

Our upcoming event at the McMullen Museum draws inspiration from the playful dialogue of fashion and medieval art, just like the Met Gala 2018: Heavenly Bodies. These beautifully eccentric styles are a perfect fit for our theme. 

DAINTINESS AND DECORUM 

Whimsical and dreamy, these styles can revolve around both accessories and texture. Opt for soft pastel hues or ivory tones to elevate the heavenly charm of your look. 

LACE TRIMS AND SLIP DRESSES 

Nothing is better at a museum than wearing a sleek and elegant ensemble. Flaunts of lacey texture mixed with the simplicity of a satin slip dress, a classic, unbeatable look.

ART INSPIRED 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, or even medieval themes encompass the artistic inspiration of timeless works in writing, film, or painting. With lively elements to adorn your attire, you are guaranteed to make a statement, adding a touch of timeless elegance to your ensemble.

VENETIA VIBES 

Like the character in Saltburn, embrace your inner Venetia and experiment with bold color, sparkles, and other grunge elements. Complete your look with statement accessories like dramatic chandelier earrings, gloves, or dark makeup.

GOLD AND SILVER 

Whether one is wearing one or the other, the contrast of gold and silver creates a luminous metal mix that carefully accentuates each color. Experiment with the timeless allure of gold and silver, which adds a celestial sparkle to your outfit. Try a gold-embroidered blouse or corset paired with silver accessories.
