What inspired the best-dressed Met Gala looks, from Sarah Jessica Parker to Blake Lively

The biggest names in fashion were in attendance, dressed to impress, at the Met Gala 2022. Few of the attendees, including Blake Lively, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kim Kardashian, took their looks seriously and provided us with unforgettable red carpet moments. But what were the inspirations for these opulent ensembles? If you’ve been wondering the same thing, we’ve got all the answers. Continue reading to find out.

Sarah Jessica Parker knows how to make a statement on the red carpet at the Met Gala, and she did so again this year for the Gilded Glamour theme. She wore a custom black and white ballgown with a black stone-encrusted veil. The Sex And The City actress collaborated with Christopher John Rogers on a striking, thoughtful ensemble that paid homage to Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, an underappreciated black designer. Former slave Elizabeth Hobbs made history as the White House’s first Black female fashion designer, serving as the official dressmaker to first lady Mary Todd Lincoln.

In a maroon gown designed by Joseph Altuzarra, Hillary Clinton attended the Met Gala for the first time in 21 years. The floor-length gown paid homage to past American women who have influenced and inspired the former US Secretary of State. Along the neckline and hem, Hillary embroidered the names of 60 women she admires, including Madeline Albright, Abigail Adams, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Lady Bird Johnson, and her mother, Dorothy Rodham.

Alessandro Michele of Gucci designed Billie Eilish’s look for the Met Gala red carpet. The singer wore a tonal duchesse corsage and a custom upcycled Gucci duchesse satin corseted gown with lace underlay, gathered duchesse satin skirt, and padded bustle. Her ensemble was environmentally conscious while paying homage to the opulent 1920s era and goth punk styling. An embroidered choker and a messy updo completed her ensemble.

“Instead of looking to fashion for inspiration, I turned to the architecture of New York City.” As she arrived with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively had this to say about her Met Gala 2022 red carpet look. Blake wore a Versace two-toned rose gold and turquoise ombré strapless gown with matching opera gloves on the red carpet. It was inspired by the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and Grand Central Station, as well as the Art Deco design and details of New York’s most famous landmarks. Lady Liberty was even referenced in her seven-spiked Tiara.

Nothing is more American to Kim Kardashian than Marilyn Monroe, and she brilliantly incorporated the icon’s legacy into her Met Gala ensemble. Marilyn Monroe wore the infamous glittering gown to sing Happy Birthday to John F Kennedy (JFK) in 1962. The outfit holds the record for the most expensive gown ever sold at an auction. In 1999, it was auctioned for USD 1.26 million. Then, in 2016, it was auctioned for USD 4.6 million at Julien’s Auctions, and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum bought it.

Natasha Poonawalla mixed Indian heritage and glamour with the Met Gala’s ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme on the red carpet. The golden tulle saree and hand-forged bustier were designed by the socialite in collaboration with Sabyasachi and Schiaparelli. Natasha’s Met Gala vision, according to Sabyasachi “was to interpret the ‘gilded glamour’ dress code through an Indian lens that celebrates its multi-culturalism and authenticity. And they succeeded in every way.” And she perfectly nailed it.

Olivia Rodrigo wore a shimmery lavender Versace gown with draped shoulders and a risqué thigh-high slit on the side to the Met Gala red carpet. Sheer opera gloves, a metal clutch, butterfly hair adornments, and a diamond choker necklace completed the look for the Deja Vu singer. Every detail of her ensemble was stunning, and it was inspired by 1920s meets Y2K. Even the beauty look was influenced by the era. Olivia’s make-up artist revealed in an interview with Vogue that she and Olivia were inspired by the opulence of the 1920s as well as funky Y2k elements (notice the thinner brows inspired by the same era).

A Vision in Sculpted Blue

Aishwarya resembled a celestial dream as dressed in an ethereal creation by imaginative Indian couturier Amit Aggarwal. The gown was a stunning hue of electric and royal blue, reminiscent of the ocean’s deep depths. It captured the Mediterranean light beautifully.

Amit Aggarwal is known for his futuristic structural designs, and this outfit demonstrated his utter genius. The gown had intricate, recycled polymer details that flowed elegantly around her silhouette. It seamlessly combined sustainable modern technology with high-fashion aristocracy.

The structured bodice highlighted her classic elegance, flowing flawlessly into a dramatic, sweeping train. As she moved, the cloth gave the impression of fluid water rippling across the red carpet. It was a master class in wearable modern art.


The Magic of the Silhouette

What made this costume particularly special was how well it complemented Aishwarya’s characteristic, effortless dignity. The neckline was boldly sculpted but elegant, framing her face like a priceless painting. It was a risky decision that paid off wonderfully.

The drama of the gown was offset by its flawless, meticulous tailoring. Aggarwal used unusual pleating techniques to give the garment a remarkable, multidimensional depth. Every perspective revealed a fresh texture, leaving fashion reviewers completely fascinated.

The vivid blue tint provided a dramatic contrast to the traditional red carpet. It represented power, calm, and a strong connection to her rich ancestry. She carried the hefty, intricate construction with almost miraculous ease.


Glamour and Minimalist Perfection

Her styling was incredibly balanced and sophisticated, allowing the stunning gown to take center stage. Her hair was arranged into gentle, flowing waves that framed her face with classic Hollywood beauty. It brought a touch of soft romance to the sharp, futuristic look.

Her makeup was a perfect balance of startling drama and understated grace. A bold, dramatic winged eyeliner highlighted her mesmerising eyes, while a delicate nude lip balanced the look. Her skin shone with a brilliant, lit-from-within shine.

The jewellery was very understated, with simply magnificent diamond drips catching the twilight light. This intentional restraint guaranteed that the structural masterpiece of the gown remained the unquestioned star of the ensemble. It was elegant styling at its best.
