Lily James wore a custom Atelier
Versace dress that captured the
unabashed glamour, excess, and
aspirational elegance of the Gilded
Age to the annual Met Gala. A
nude tulle illusion dress is covered
entirely in strings of pearls in
reference to their representation of
royalty, decadence, and the gaining
of new feminine freedoms during
the Gilded Age. Each pearl is handembroidered and modernized in a
metallic dusty blue coating. The
design features asymmetric lines, a
common design feature of the era,
an open back with further pearl
embellishments, and a keyhole cutout neckline.
