The weekend leading up to the Met Gala is always an interesting time for fashion. Interesting looks are shown, perhaps dress rehearsals for the main event. The feathers, sequins, luxurious fabrics and irregular proportions are released for reactions or test runs. Last week was no exception. Red carpet events such as the 2024 Kings Trust Global Gala played host to an array of stars who enthusiastically showed off their fashion skills.
The looks
Last week, the models gave an approving nod to lace textures and muted tones. Anok Yai wore a Dior dress with layered fringe details that were undoubtedly elegant. The spaghetti strap exposed her melanin skin, which was deliberately bright. Elsewhere, Naomi Campbell opted for a blush Nicolas Jebran number for a garden wedding in France. The off-the-shoulder dress held a flowy, sheer train with a corseted waistband for the ruffled effect. This is proof that minimal and clean girly aesthetics are winning this spring.
Owning a solid suit is not up for debate. Ciara And Lupita Nyong’o last week once again argued in every cabinet for its effectiveness. From the obvious office wear to star-studded events, work your way up with proportions and an appropriate color choice in the matching game. Ciara wore an all-white suit to the Jhpiego Laughter is the Best Medicine gala, where she was recognized with the Visionary Award. She styled hers with a sleek coat, white pumps and statement sunglasses. We can simply say that Cici is committed to kicking ass. Elsewhere, Lupita Nyong’o took the delicate baby pink route with her suit. She played it up with a statement necklace from De Beers and white pumps, parting her short hairdo during press rounds for A Quiet Place.
Beyonce took on Japan Jay Z in a full-on denim look from LaPointe. Wearing a sheer bodysuit, jeans and a denim jacket with fur sleeves, Queen Bey showed off another fun way to play the cowgirl aesthetic card. Her thigh-high Amina Muaddi boots complemented the denim and sheer combination. While everyone wants to know if Bey is going to the Met, she is in Japan coming up with new concepts. The queen never takes a day off.
