This was the accessory of the night at the Met Gala

Sport dazzles in style at the Met Gala (2021) 1:54 (CNN) — With a dress code honoring America’s Gilded Age, guests at the Met Gala looked to the past for inspiration. And there was one accessory that stole the show on Monday night: the vintage tiara. Actress Tommy Dorfman and YouTuber Emma Chamberlain were among the celebrities wearing crowns from multiple generations. However, it was the editors of Vogue magazine, organizers of the glamorous annual fundraiser, who led by example. The hostess of the evening, Anna Wintour, traded in her signature sunglasses for a sparkly tiara. Speaking to reporters on the red carpet, Vogue’s longtime editor-in-chief revealed that the jewel-encrusted item was a family heirloom dating from around 1910. Anna Wintour at the Met Gala.

In an Instagram post, he revealed that it was designed by Fulco di Verdura, an Italian duke and jeweler who worked with Chanel in the 1920s and 1930s. Bowles explained that it had been designed for philanthropist Betsey Whitney to wear to a ball in London’s Buckingham Palace in 1957, adding that it has not been used in public since.

The issue spanned generations and Chamberlain wore a tiara made by Cartier in 1911, nine decades before she was born. She completed the look with a Louis Vuitton crop top and a floor-length white blouse. YouTuber Emma Chamberlain wore a vintage Cartier crown.

He told People magazine that her crown was “almost 200 years old, which is pretty cool.” Tommy Dorfman said his tiara was nearly 200 years old.

Among the most dramatic was model Winnie Harlow’s headdress, designed by Iris Van Herpen. Meanwhile, Sarah Jessica Parker enlisted milliner Philip Treacy for her stunning feathered design. One of the night’s co-hosts, Blake Lively, took a more contemporary approach with a custom-designed tiara by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

Lively also asked Schwartz to submit 25 stones to represent the 25 windows of the iconic statue. “‘Who’s really going to be counting the stones?'” he recalled Schwartz asking him. “‘Me,” she replied with a laugh. “I am a Virgo.”
