My elder millennials will bear in mind: Earlier than there was Zendaya to reliably shut down the Met Gala crimson carpet yearly, there was Sarah Jessica Parker. The Intercourse and the Metropolis and And Simply Like That star has been attending the Met Gala since 1995, when she wore a costume from a thrift store and did her personal glam for the occasion. If solely that model of SJP might see how she exhibits up now: in a customized couture robe and headpiece by British designer Richard Quinn, accompanied by a whole lion’s price of hair extensions.
The costume is constructed atop a wire body, leading to an hourglass form completely acceptable to the evening’s theme “The Backyard of Time”. There are crystals, there’s lace appliqué, there are tights with crystals and lace appliqué, and it is all topped off with a fascinator—a favourite SJP accent—that alone could be sufficient to provide most of us a case of tech neck. However that is the Met Gala, and so Parker completed off the look with a small military’s price of hair extensions.
