Rosalía’s custom Met Gala outfit hit all the hallmarks of a Gilded Age gown: heavily structured corset, cascade of ruffles and embellishment, and off-the-shoulder sleeves with plenty of volume.

“Together we explored a way to fuse the tradition of the Gilded Age with Givenchy Haute Couture codes, modernity, and feminine strength to suit her taste and personality,” says Matthew Williams. The dress itself featured a beaded corset and body, leading into a semi-transparent skirt and wave after wave of ivory-colored ruffles for the train. The diaphanous sleeves that draped so elegantly off her shoulders were attached to the dress with an edgy metal collar. Below, see how Rosalía got ready at the Mark hotel to walk to Met steps in her thigh-high white leather boots and carrying all those beads.
