Stepping onto the hallowed Met steps, Ariana Grande exuded elegance in a custom Loewe creation by Jonathan Anderson. The shimmering mother-of-pearl bustier dress cascaded into a hand-pleated, multi-layered silk chiffon skirt that captured the essence of nature’s iridescence. Anderson and his team drew inspiration from ‘sensorial craft techniques,’ incorporating the beauty of the natural world into their craftsmanship and textile selection. Grande’s ensemble reflected the beauty of the nacre mineral, its iridescent quality shimmering under the evening lights.
This marked Grande’s second appearance at the Met Gala, her previous attendance being in 2018 for the ‘Heavenly Bodies’ theme. That year, she graced the red carpet in a custom Vera Wang gown adorned with screen-printed imagery from Michelangelo’s ‘The Last Judgement.’ In contrast to her previous ethereal look, Grande opted for a lighter, more breezy style this year, solidifying her position as one of the night’s most captivating fashion icons.
