The “Oscars of the East” is a fundraising event to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute — in 2023, it raised nearly $22 million. But it is better known for its high-fashion moments corresponding with elaborate themes like “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” and “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
Jennifer Lawrence reached out to touch Sarah Jessica Parker’s unique, feathery headpiece while the “Sex and the City” star was being photographed on the red carpet.
Luckily, Parker didn’t seem bothered by the bit, People reported, even though she was certainly caught off-guard. The two actors shared a laugh following the photobomb, and Lawrence even got Parker’s permission to pet the feathers.
After the 2017 Met Gala, audiences reached the general consensus that Rihanna had taken the theme, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” more seriously than other celebrities.
Apparently, Rihanna herself agreed. After making a lasting impression in an elaborate gown from Comme des Garçons’ fall 2016 collection, Rihanna liked an Instagram post mocking stars who showed up in attire that seemingly had no connection to the theme.
