metalic trend

A fundraiser for the Met Museum’s Costume Institute, the Met Gala is an annual antidote to safe and staid red carpet glamour. Forget fishtail dresses, this is a chance for edgy looks.
The event tied in with the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology and the attendees took their inspiration from the show. Overwhelmingly, technology meant metallics and the fashion on display showed just how versatile the trend is.
It brings to mind both the past and the future. Indeed, for all the talk of an “age of technology,” there was a surprisingly retro feel to the evening, harking back to 20th century ideas of what the future would look like.

Kim Kardashian and Jourdan Dunn, both in Balmain, channeled Maria, the robot from 1920s sci-fi classic Metropolis, while Zayn Malik added some superhero-style bionic arms to his Versace suit. These looks represented the industrial, functional side of metallics.

Metallics are also synonymous with space. Taylor Swift’s Louis Vuitton mini-dress subtly revisited that time in the 1960s when the space race proved to be a major fashion influence. More obvious was Nicole Kidman’s Alexander McQueen dress, adorned with moons.

The unbridled glamour of metallics was also on display. Mackenzie Davis, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Brie Larson looked like they’d stepped out of the pages of The Great Gatsby, with flapper-style dresses, all in silver.

As well as the 1920s and 1960s, the other decade that embraced metallics was the 1980s. This time metallics meant luxury, excess, and sometimes gaudiness. Rita Ora went for volume in a feathered Vera Wang creation, Cindy Crawford had maximum sparkle in Balmain, and Demi Lovato’s dress matched an elaborate gold pattern with oversized silver sequins.

With its mix of style and substance and the past and the future, it seems the metallic trend will continue to shine on.
