Can you imagine a garden that blooms through time? That was exactly the essence of this year's Met Gala dress code: "The Garden of Time"! A dazzling celebration that took place this past Monday, May 6th, where fashion became a living expression of the passage of time. But you know what? The magic of this event isn't limited to the red carpet and the stars; it extends throughout New York with a burst of parties and events that make the city pulse!
To immerse ourselves in this year's essence, we must look to the Gala's inaugural exhibition: 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion'. There, iconic dresses, kept as treasures, emerge from their slumber to enchant once again.

THE GRAND EVENT
The Met Gala is synonymous with exclusivity, with only 450 select guests. But being part of this circle isn't just a matter of fame; it's an art, an alchemy of influence and prestige. And it's not just about having money. You need influence. However, the parties that follow the Gala are another story! To be invited to a Met Gala after-party, you need to "know someone". That's why every first Monday of May, thousands of New Yorkers dress up to celebrate fashion, even if they're not part of the main event. And yes, I was one of them.

While you may have already soaked in the Met Gala, let me take you beyond the red carpet, to a world where fashion blends with the exuberance of New York nightlife. From parties to watch the red carpet to after-parties where creativity knows no bounds, it's a display of style and fun!
FOLLOWING THE DRESS CODE TO THE LETTER
Dressing for a Met Gala party is an art. Even if you don't have the chance to step on the red carpet, I want to tell you about the multiple parties that happen on this day (from watch parties to after-parties) and, if you're invited to one, share some tips on how to choose your look. This year, interpretations were as diverse as they were fascinating. From vintage dresses that awaken forgotten memories to floral explosions that evoke the freshness of a spring garden, the possibilities were endless!

MY INTERPRETATION OF THE THEME
I, for example, decided to create my own garden of time in my look. I imagined an oasis of light and life, and opted for a white ensemble adorned with sequins that danced like stars on a summer night. The flowers, in a delicate and subtle pattern, transported me to an English field covered in violets and green leaves. However, a look isn't complete without details. Accessories are the icing on the cake! I chose cluster pearl earrings, evoking the timeless elegance of nature, and a vintage ring with small violet flowers. Complementing my outfit, I chose a headband adorned with layers and ruffles, inspired by flower petals. Its circular shape reminds me of the sun, adding a touch of brightness and vitality to my Garden of Time look. And my makeup and hairstyle, an ode to awakening beauty! With smokey eyes in violet tones and a semi-loose mane that floats like a waking dream, I felt ready to conquer my own garden of time!
