RACHEL BROSNAHAN: A GOLDEN MOMENT
Crafted with a sculptural bra top, wrap-waist detailing, and an elegant train, Rachel Brosnahan’s Met Gala gown gives a nod to timeless glamour—and shines with more than 25,000 gold sequins.
HEAVY METAL
An ode to this year’s theme, “Gilded Glamour,” over 25,000 gold metal sequins and days worth of hand-embroidery finish this crepe silhouette, weighing nearly 70 pounds.
A SCULPTURAL SILHOUETTE
Balancing a skin-baring top and sleek, sweeping train, this gown combines sensuality and structure to an artful effect.
"Made in New York City, each sequin is hand-embroidered to the silk base of the dress. The degrade formation of the sequins emphasizes the drama of the fishtail skirt and extended train."-Joseph Altuzarra

PRECIOUS LEE
Sleek, unexpected, and adorned with over 10,000 gunmetal paillettes, Precious Lee’s one-of-a-kind Met Gala gown makes a bold statement and accentuates her silhouette.
ALL IN THE DETAILS
Embroidered by hand, this luminous viscose knit gown features lurex-infused yarn and more than 10,000 gunmetal paillette sequins.
“This gown was entirely constructed in NYC and took seven embroiderers to finish it. The application of the paillettes is entirely engineered to the garment in a degrade formation that grows from small sequins at the thighs and pools in larger paillettes at the hem and train.” - Joseph Altuzarra
A FIGURE-HUGGING FIT
Designed with a built-in balaclava, classic corseted bodice—with metal boning and lacing detail—and trumpeted train, the gown’s body-skimming silhouette serves as the perfect foundation for layers of gleaming sequins.
