Did you “rise and shine” the day after the Met Gala still thinking about Kylie Jenner’s red-hot Haider Ackermann for Jean Paul Gaultier gown? This equally eye-catching dress has a similarly striking silhouette.
Amanda Uprichard x Revolve Gilda Gown ($268)
For the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”-themed event, Cara Delevingne paid homage to the late fashion designer with a shirt dress inspired by his signature personal style.
Snag a similarly sleek look — minus the red carpet-ready train — for under $150.
Free People Christi Shirt Dress ($128)
At this year’s Met, pearls were popping up all over (both figuratively and literally, due to Kim Kardashian’s fashion mishap). If you’re admiring Lizzo’s take on the trend — a pearl-draped black Chanel dress — consider this black-and-white style.
Ieena for Mac Duggal Imitation Pearl Body-Con Cocktail Dress ($278)
Jennifer Lopez’s love might not cost a thing — but her ab-baring Ralph Lauren dress does. If it’s the crosscrossed neckline that caught your eye, snag the style for less with this under-$100 Express dress; thanks to its convertible straps, it’ll even deliver two outfits for the price of one.
Express Silky Convertible Midi ($80)
Let the feathers fly — or rather, levitate. Channel Dua Lipa’s white tweed dress — or Rihanna’s pre-Met Gala feathered mini — with this on-sale style.
NBD Kalia Mini Dress ($94, originally $228)
Go with the flow — Miss Flo, that is — with a black-and-white bow-adorned look. Put a short spin on Florence Pugh’s Valentino look (sans headpiece) with this minidress available at Nordstrom.
Endless Rose Bow Mini Dress ($100)
Plenty of celebrities made tweed look cool, not conservative, on the Met Gala red carpet. Make like Keke Palmer with this strapless pastel style similar to her Sergio Hudson gown.
LPA Dress 691 ($198)
While Kidman’s Chanel style was the same one she sported in a No. 5 fragrance ad nearly 20 years ago, you can create a similar feathered fashion statement using modern styles like this slip dress from a celeb-loved label.
Sleeper Boheme Slip Dress with Feathers ($245, originally $350)
Took a shine to Kendall Jenner’s shiny bodysuit? While the model opted to go pantsless in Marc Jacobs, try a more wearable version of her look with a sequined bodysuit like this V-neck design.
Express Sequin Deep V-Neck Thong Bodysuit ($70, originally $98)
