Olivia Rodrigo referenced Gilded Age
elegance with her custom Atelier Versace
dress at the Met Gala.
Inspired by the Gilded Age's reflection
of opulence, the column dress is crafted
entirely from hand-embroidered metal
crystal mesh in a spring lavender tone.
The design features a cowl neckline and
an intricate rear corset with crystallized
boning against nude tulle, emphasizing
the era's attention to enhancing the
female form. Draped shoulder detailing
and a leg slit complete the look.
Gabrielle Union-Wade attended this
year's Met Gala in a custom Atelier
Versace gown that gave tribute to
the changing roles of women and the
emerging Black activism which occurred
during the Gilded Age.
The dress is crafted in hand-linked
metal crystal mesh with a plunging
neckline and snatched waist, and
features a platinum satin-effect lurex
train topped with duchesse and a
degradé of silk and hand-embroidered
crystal flowers. An embroidered red
flower at the waist pays direct homage
to a gown worn by Diahann Carroll-a
women's rights activist and first AfricanAmerican woman to win a Tony
Award
for Best Actress in a Musical.
Dwyane Wade wore a custom Atelier
Versace suit to the Met Gala. A
contemporary reimagining of Gilded Age
elegance, the slightly oversized jacket
and matching tailored pants are crafted
from white heavy satin, and is worn
shirtless. The number 75 is embroidered
to the sleeve in celebration of Wade's
selection to the NBA 75th anniversary
team.
