Fashion - MET in May 

Halle Bailey looked like a princess while attending the 2023 Met Gala red carpet in New York tonight. The soon-to-be Disney superstar pulled out a show-stopping look for the annual affair held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Channelling her “Little Mermaid” character, Bailey arrived wearing a form-fitting white dress by Gucci. The gorgeous gown featured a sheer underlay that was decorated with lace sequin embroidery throughout. To further elevate the moment, the Grammy-nominated singer kept a dramatic ruffled coat draped on her arms. 

Bailey swapped her usual long locs for a short curly bob that was parted on the side. To amp up the glam factor, the “Do It” musician added dangling diamond earrings. As for makeup, she went with shimmery eyeshadow and a glossy neutral pout.

Lea Michele is on cloud nine. The actor and musician said so herself just hours before she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala for the fourth time. Attending as a guest of Michael Kors, who also designed her dress, Michele was especially excited for the festivities honoring Karl Lagerfeld—even as a veteran attendee. Still, there was another legend who Michele and Kors wanted to reference with their Met look: Barbra Streisand, of course. For the event, Michele wore a silver floor length gown embroidered with 11,700 mirrored sequins and 10,100 crystals over a base of individually stitched paillettes. The silhouette featured a deep scoop neckline, an open back, a bow across the bust, and sparkling fringe on the wrist-length sleeves and skirt. Michele, Kors, and Michele’s stylist Brian Meller used the mirrorball effect as a reference the first time Michele is onstage as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, when she stares into multiple mirrors.
