2008 Met Costume Institute Gala | May 5, 2008

Badgley Mischka Fall 2008

The Met Gala is probably my favourite fashion event of the year and Taylor glittered at the 2008 ball in a Badgley Mischka gown. The theme that year was Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy which I don’t think Taylor exactly hit, but at least she was sparkling and pretty.

TSS QUARANTINE FLASHBACKS

The most forgotten Met Gala appearance, I’d wager. 

I somehow want to imagine that Taylor thought the gold of this gown held some similarity to armour or a gold glittering shield? (#reach). 

In fairness to Taylor, reviewing the 2008 red carpet coverage, very few people seemed to have even attempted to fit the theme of “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” so she gets a pass here.

2010 Met Costume Institute Gala | May 3, 2010

Ralph Lauren Spring 2005 RTW gown

This isn’t most people’s favourite but Taylor just looks so deliciously old Hollywood I can’t resist. And the fact that she’s wearing a five year old gown to a high-profile fashion event is just so daring. This is one of my Top 5 favourite event gowns Taylor has ever worn.

Worn with: Fred Leighton + Lorraine Schwartz jewelry

TSS QUARANTINE FLASHBACKS

The theme the year of this Met Gala was “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity” and this was certainly reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour with the underpinned bob and red lips. This has long been a personal favourite of mine of Taylor at the Met.

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.

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.
