The Met Gala is considered to be the Mecca of the fashion world. Each year, designers and celebrities alike prepare their best fashion efforts for the first Monday in May. The looks that these celebrities pulled off are beyond our wildest dreams and also far beyond the limits of our bank accounts.
Considering a ticket for the event runs around $30,000, you can safely assume your outfit for the evening is going to cost you as well. Some gowns to grace the Met Gala’s carpeted staircase have cost staggering amounts. Follow along to see some of the most elaborate and expensive designs to grace the event.
French model Constance Jalonski’s 2012 Met Gala look wasn’t just an impressive feat by designer Wes Gordon. The hand-sculpted metal gown meant to pay an ode to Grecian goddesses was quite expensive, as well. The look cost about $35,610, making it the most expensive dress worn on the Met Gala carpet that year.
Beyonce has an impressive Met Gala lookbook to sort through. One of her most talked about and expensive looks by far are her 2016 Givenchy latex dress.
While we don’t know the exact cost of the dress, each adorning pearl costs between $6,000 and $8,000. Considering her dress was dripping in pearls, we can safely say the dress was well into six-figure territory.
