The Met Gala is an annual benefit that celebrates the annual fashion exhibit held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Chaired by Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, the affair brings in A-listers from the arts, fashions, film, music and high society.
This year’s theme, China: Through the looking glass, explores the connection and influence Chinese art and culture has on Western fashion. Dior, Alexander McQueen and Valentino are among the top couturiers whose designs will be on display at the exhibition.
As expected, celebrities and socialites alike stepped onto the red carpet this year, pulling all the stops. From exquisite and richly coloured jewellery to whimsical motifs, here are some of the glamorous gems donned by the stars.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Forever on point, SJP wore a dress from H&M embellished with a sparkling Cindy Chao brooch. She topped it off with a Philip Treacy headpiece, completing the look with custom jade bangles studded with blacked diamonds, from Fred Leighton.
