Met Gala Countdown: Jackie Edition

Met Gala Countdown: Royal Edition
Princess Diana, 1996 Met Gala.
A slip dress, appropriately enough for the 90s.
Navy satin, black lace – – and you know that ain’t no costume jewelry.
This was John Galliano’s first-ever gown for Dior. Fashion history.
The dress.
The jewels, hair and makeup.
The back, the bag and the bubbly.
The Di shy-side-eye.
Vintage Style at The Jazz Age Lawn Party
Michael Arenella and his Dreamland Orchestra twice every summer take over Governors Island, just off the Southern tip of Manhattan, for The Jazz Age Lawn Party. The ferry to the island turns the clock back nearly a century, as Jazz Age fashion, music, dancing, cocktails and cars await party-goers. Inspired by the era of Gatsby, dolls and dandies don their finest and come out to play. This year brought a scorching heat wave to the party and IT. WAS. HOT.
But that just meant more delicious cocktails by St. Germain for all!
