In an unearthed beaded gown, the supermodel hit the Met Gala theme on the head.
Kendall Jenner isn’t fooling around when it comes to this year’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” Met Gala theme. Tonight, the supermodel graced the Metropolitan Museum of Art while wearing an unearthed LBD from one of fashion’s most beloved designers.
While many went with florals for this year’s Met Gala—nodding to the “The Garden Of Time” aspect of the evening’s dress code—Jenner opted to literally “reawaken” a couture masterpiece. She made history, too, as the first person to not only wear this dress, but also a piece from Alexander McQueen’s 1999 couture collection.
The late designer, who served as Givenchy’s creative director from 1996 until 2001, showcased this specific dress, and wider collection, on mannequins instead of models. The collection was never shown on the runway and has been kept in Givenchy’s archives for the past 25 years until now. Given the museum quality of the piece, tailoring was forbidden. Thankfully, Jenner is a supermodel after all and, she says, the dress fit “like a glove.
