Linda Evangelista made her return to Met Gala for the first time since 2015’s China Through the Looking Glass Theme party. Evangelista for the grand fashion event chose to don one of her favorite labels and tapped Khaite designer Catherine Holstein to do the honors putting together an ensemble for outing for the night. The Super only request was no black for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” theme.
“The one thing I really wanted to do was push myself out of black, and that’s what we’ve done.”
Catherine and Evangelista crafted an ethereal and elegant piece befitting the Gala’s theme with an organic silk gazer draped over Evangelista’s silhouette: “It’s so dreamy and light–it’s light like a cloud,” Evangelista says. I feel so comfortable in it, and I’m really, really, really happy.”
Holstein and Evangelista capped off the look with green tourmaline earrings specially crafted for the event containing 91 carats of tourmaline and diamonds, fashioned in 18 karat fair-mined gold. Yet the jeweler’s main inspiration came from the eyes Evangelista herself:
“Linda’s eyes are so special–their beauty is really unmatched, she says. I looked to take a cue from her eye color and crate an ‘unmatched’ pair of earrings: one set of impossibly blue stones like her eyes and one set of radiant green stones that link back to nature.”
