She provided a photograph of another tiara for a visual reference, a fabric cut-out that established the size and basic band shape of the tiara (which is typical for hat-making), and a laser print with the Hebrew text to appear across the front. The first consultation between Christine and the LGS team occurred in the afternoon on Tuesday, May 1. The turnaround time was incredibly tight. When she was approached to design the crowning piece for Carter’s Gala outfit, she immediately reached out to the Studio. Milliner Ellen Christine is an NYU alumna who has worked with the LGS team in the past. The tiara that garnered so much press attention was created using the 3D modeling and printing resources of NYU’s LaGuardia Studio (LGS).
However, this gold tiara was emblazoned with the Hebrew phrase לעולם אל תשכחי (“never forget”) and fastened in place with a large Star of David-quite a departure from the Catholic iconography employed in most other outfits that evening. For the Met Gala, she wore a dress by Zac Posen, carried a purse created by Holocaust survivor Judith Leiber (who passed away just days before the Gala, at the age of 97), and topped off her outfit for the evening with a brilliant gold tiara reminiscent of the gold tiara she wore in her most famous role. But, one outfit in particular turned heads-even among outfits designed to turn heads.Īttendee Lynda Carter is best known for her starring role in the 1970s television series Wonder Woman and is currently appearing as the president of the United States on The CW’s Supergirl. The ritual and ceremonial dress of Catholicism certainly affords ample inspiration for the sort of over-the-top costumes that have become an expectation for attendees. The theme for the 2018 Gala, held on Monday, May 7, was inspired by the museum’s “ Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” exhibition. Each year, a specific theme dictates the sartorial style of the evening, and while not everyone chooses to follow the theme, those who do hold nothing back in terms of glittery extravagance. The Met Gala, an annual fundraising bash for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, provides celebrities an opportunity to make a splash.
