Anna Wintour’s Chanel looks at the Met Gala are signature uniform, dramatic feathered outer layer over an ornate gown, one would think she’s just wearing them to match the carpet, but the two executions reveal very different fashion languages.
The 2019 pink look channels Edwardian/Belle Époque opulence: soft, romantic, powder-puff feathers with a playful, theatrical Camp energy (following the theme at the time)
In contrast, the 2026 teal version is pure 1920s/30s Art Deco modernism, it’s a structured, architectural plumage with sharper lines and graphic embellishment.
Same designer, same formula, yet two distinct eras of glamour. Literally Anna adapting her consistent voice to speak the language of each theme.
The Met Gala once again delivered glamour, exquisite fashion detailing art and personality. Cohesive magazine analysed various outfits and fashion theme at the Met Gala.
