2011 Met Costume Institute Gala | May 2, 2011

J. Mendel gown

A lot of people consider this gown a miss but, this is the MET Costume Gala. It’s one of the most pivotal fashion nights all year. The theme for 2011 was Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty so, Taylor was one of the few stars who showed up not decked out in the best that the avant-garde designer had to offer. But she came pretty close to the theme in this cascading, black lace overlay organza gown. 

Worn with: Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

TSS QUARANTINE FLASHBACKS

There’s something about this gown that I do love (that train, in particular) but indeed thought it odd that she wouldn’t have tried to get her hands on an Alexander McQueen gown to truly pay tribute to the designer. That said, Taylor was at the time (and still is) a strong devotee to J. Mendel so perhaps this was her way of paying homage to McQueen while still staying true to her favoured designers.
