Celebrities wearing looks with dramatic trains ruled the Met Gala red carpet these 15 stars pulled off the trend better than anyone
Gabi Stevenson
- Stars celebrated the life and legacy of Karl Lagerfeld at the Met Gala on Monday.
- Celebrities wearing ultra-long, dramatic trains were spotted all over the red carpet.
Bad Bunny
The Puerto Rican rapper accessorized his backless Jacquemus suit with a 26-foot floral train, according to Vogue.
"I imagined this train as an infinite tie made of embroidered flowers; it was also Karl's obsession," French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus told the outlet. "Karl was wearing a tie every day, I wanted this to be an homage to his iconic look."
Jeremy Pope
The actor's cape, which featured an emblazoned image of Karl Lagerfeld, was 30 feet long, per Fashionista. He paired the look with flared black trousers.
The Balmain look was made with the help of 70 seamstresses and featured "over 5,000 meters of silk chiffon," the fashion house told the outlet.
Florence Pugh
The "Little Women" actress debuted a shaved head alongside her ivory Valentino gown, which featured a plunging neckline and black bow detail.
The dress extended into a flowing train that balanced her towering, feathered headpiece.
Ava Max
The "Sweet but Psycho" vocalist was covered in tiny pearls, which continued from the top of her gown onto her floating, tulle train. The Christian Siriano-designed gown also came with a matching headpiece.
Glenn Close
The legendary actress made a statement in a custom Erdem gown, complete with a ruffled, taffeta cape in light blue.
Vogue reports that the cape was inspired by the finale look model (and Lagerfeld muse) Devon Aoki wore for Chanel's fall/winter couture show in 1999.
Designer Erdem Moralıoğlu told the publication that he "loved the drama of it and the idea of creating something that has a volume and sense of history to it."
Karen Elson
The model's sheer black Christian Siriano gown was adorned with pink flowers in different sizes and shades. More white flowers were added to the end of the train, which was trimmed with black ruffles.
Yung Miami
The City Girls rapper also went for a sheer black look, highlighted by boning that led into a sheer train. She balanced it on top with a sky-high tulle neckpiece that extended into black gloves.
Jenna Ortega
The "Wednesday" star rocked a Thom Browne minidress with a train that extended several steps behind her. The entire look was embellished with gold chains and pearls.
Doja Cat
The rapper's prosthetics, designed to make her look like Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette, was just one of the draw-dropping elements she brought to the red carpet.
Doja's hooded Oscar de la Renta gown extended into a feathered train, making her look all the more fluffy.
Nicole Kidman
Kidman's whimsical Chanel gown was a blast from the past — she first wore it for a 2004 Chanel No. 5 perfume commercial and short film directed by Baz Luhrmann, as Insider's Chris Panella reports.
In an Instagram post shared Monday, Kidman dedicated the look to the designer, captioning her video, "For Karl."
Adut Akech
The model wore a black and white Carolina Herrera dress with layers of varying tulle. While the black stripes were made of standard tulle, the white layers were shaped into rows of flowers.
Gisele Bündchen
The supermodel took a style cue from her Victoria's Secret days with a giant, feathered cape that featured a long train. She wore the angelic cape with a sparkling gown, both of which were from Chanel's 2007 spring/summer collection.
Maya Hawke
The "Stranger Things" actress worked with Prada on the textured bridal look, which featured an ivory minidress and a matching coat with an extended train. She paired the look with pointed-toe kitten heels.
"The floral appliqué is incredible and must have taken them hours and hours to apply it to the cape and the dress," Hawke's stylist Henry Lambert told Vogue.
"What I love is that when you remove the cape it's a beautiful, but very wearable dress. Maya said to me 'when I get married I can't imagine myself ever wearing something like this' — so to get to wear it to the Met Gala makes it feel even more special as it isn't something she'd normally wear."
Rita Ora
The long train on Ora's Prabal Gurung dress brought the drama to the red carpet. The gown featured lots of different elements: a corset, sheer fabric, florals, and a one-shoulder silhouette.
Quinta Brunson
The "Abbott Elementary" creator made her Met Gala debut in a pink and black Prabal Gurung dress, bringing a shock of color to a mostly monochromatic red carpet.
The dress also had a long bow detail and was accessorized with sheer gloves under diamond jewelry.
