Lots of good photos and details on the whole event from the AP:
… Former presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton was in a Bordeaux-colored gown designed by Joseph Altuzarra with the names of historic women sewn into the hem and neckline. They include Abigail Adams, Shirley Chisolm and Madeleine Albright.
Clinton’s last Met Gala was a while ago.
“I told Anna I would come every 20 years,” she said…
The Japonisme influence here is very much on theme, while supposedly referencing the Statue of Liberty’s (also a product of the original Gilded Age!) gradual shift from bright copper to its current verdigris.
#MetGala co-chair Blake Lively channels the Gilded Age with a glamorous red carpet costume change — swapping her gown and gloves from pink and bronze to blue.
