For her third #MetGala appearance, Tyla (@tyla) wore custom Valentino by Alessandro Michele, pairing a satin bleu paon skirt with a deep slit, silver-rhinestone waistline and a tulle top traced with fringe and silver sequins. After moulded sand in 2024 and pinstripes in 2025, her 2026 “Costume Art” look keeps her Met streak very much alive.
No, the "naked dress" is not for me in any way, shape or form, but I adore that fresh, vibrant blue. It is exotic, electric, modern, chic, royal and rich in all the best ways. I dare you to turn away. This blue is a jolt of beauty in a weary world. Breathtaking.
In "The Devil Wears Prada 2," the bedside lampshade in Andy's hotel room in Milan was that same hue and I couldn't take my eyes off it. Love, love, and the striking, satiny clutch Simone Ashley (as Miranda's assistant, Amari Mari) holds near the end of the movie took a dip in that same gorgeous color.
I will be hunting down this blue, most likely for an accessory but yes, even for a lampshade. Will keep you posted!
P.S. Last night, I drove to the 92nd Street Y in NYC to see Stanley Tucci in a Q & A session. When the tickets went on sale a while back, I had to pounce.

I'm happy to see you're back on your blog!
ReplyDeletethanks, Celia. are you back from Madrid? hope to meet up soon.
DeleteOoh, yay, Stanley Tucci! I bet that was fun. Haven’t seen the new one yet, but just re-watched the OG to prep for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that hue! I have come close to wearing it in the past, in a tee shirt, but these days I like what I wear cooled down from that vibrancy. But in a scarf or other accessory? Maybe. And for an accent piece? Lovely!

Hi Nan. Yes, I am a big Stanley Tucci fan....glad you watched "Devil" one first to refresh! Let's keep each other posted if we find this blue! enjoy your day xo
DeleteI will *always* think of you when I see this kind of blue, Alice! k
ReplyDeleteHahah, k, I have to be able to afford a little something.
ReplyDeleteHi, Alice, seeing the sequel with N today, also did a rewatch. I too love that shade, a little more green than turquoise. Too bright for my deathly pallor directly but maybe against white I could do it. Fun to see which of us finds something first!

Hi Liz. Yes, that will be a fun fashion hunt. I realized I do have a Pucci scarf that incorporates a blue close to that hue. I will post it soon. Glad you liked the movie!
