It’s the biggest night in fashion where all the stars gather and walk up the steps in the most dazzling, dramatic, and impeccable couture. Amidst the beauty and opulence, we spotted a couple of details, bold styling choices, and accessories that can also be translated into bridal fashion. Whether you’re a classic-romantic or fashion-forward bride, here’s how you can get inspiration from the Met Gala for your own wedding day look.
1. Pearls: The Bridal Classic
A bridal classic, pearls caught our eyes on the Met Gala steps. We’re loving the buttons on Jennie’s custom tailored suit and ballgown hybrid from Chanel. For your wedding, think pearl chokers, gown embellishments, delicate buttons. For a more subtle look, go for pearl-dotted veils or pearl-accented shoes.
2. Oversized Hats: Statement-Ready Chic
Oversized headpieces covered in feathers, wide-brimmed, and stylishly floppy are donned by some of our favorite celebrities. We can easily imagine dramatic hats for an outdoor ceremony or pre-wedding welcome lunch at the beach. For the more adventurous bride, why not wear a hat instead of a veil ala Natasha Richardson in The Parent Trap?
3. Exaggerated Sleeves: Bold & Romantic
Billowing, ballooned, and bishop-style sleeves brought an air of drama and romance to the Met. They’re not just statement pieces, but rather very graceful, classy, and feminine. The sleeves look and feel like they’re dancing as you move and walk down the aisle. Bridal tip: You can go for detachable sleeves for a more flexible and transitional look!
4. Tailored Suits: Power Meets Elegance
Sleek, crisp, and stunningly tailored suits exuded modern elegance with an edge. Suits are becoming more popular in wedding fashion these days and it’s not hard to see why! We won’t be surprised if we see bride’s wearing suits inspired by Zendaya’s beautiful Louis Vuitton three-piece ensemble.
Bridal tip: Consider a white or cream bridal suit with sleek tailoring for a contemporary ceremony look or civil wedding.
5. Fun Reception Looks: Sparkle and Dazzle
Lots of brides are embracing second looks, switching from gowns to mini dresses covered in sparkle, sequins, and pops of color. So, go all out and let your wedding reception be your very own Met Gala moment. Don’t be afraid to let your personality shine—whether that’s a pop of color, bold earrings, or even bridal sneakers.
The Met Gala continues to inspire with its fearless fashion! Bridal wear doesn’t have to be bound by tradition after all. We can take inspiration wherever it resonates! Whether it’s pearls, a tailored power suit, or a full-on hat moment, take what speaks to you and make it your own
