Throwback to 2019
The first Monday of May has always been reserved for the famed Met Gala, but due to the current global crisis, the celebration of craftsmanship and creativity has been put on hold.
If like us you’re missing the fantastical gowns that walk the red carpet of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this roundup will cheer you up.
In 2019, Hollywood’s A-listers brought their A game, dressed for the night’s theme ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion’. For this dazzling occasion, some of the stars turned to Arab designers and brands to help bring their looks to life.
Here are the Middle Eastern designers and labels featured on the red carpet:

Our previous cover star wore head-to-toe Dapper Dan for Gucci. Ashley stunned in a checked blazer dress with Dan’s name emblazoned on the back. She had on sheer stockings with Dan’s name written on them in block lettering underneath. For shoes, she selected see-through pumps with a lucite stiletto heel. The highlight of her look was her accessorising, which included Gucci hair pins and mismatched jewellery. One of the pieces was a diamond and emerald earring from Dubai-based label Amwaj.
