Kendall Jenner wore dress of beads woven into a mesh fabric base to create a 3D pattern and looked mesmerizing. As the only lady in jade on Mondays Met Gala red carpet, she and her sexy Calvin Klein Collection gown landed among our favorites of the night. After her prolific modeling year in November she became the face of Estée Lauder and in March she became the face of Calvin Klein we had no doubt her ensemble would be show-stopping.
To invoke the theme China: Through the Looking Glass, Costa started with a standout shade. I wanted the color of the dress to resemble jade, which to me is very emblematic of China, he said. Thousands of hand-dyed bugle beads were woven into a mesh fabric base to create a 3D pattern. Once that was complete, the dress was covered with hand-sewn, smoke-colored crystals.
A plunging cutout on the side of the gown balanced the elegant high neck. The lace-up detail on the sides makes the dress more delicate, and emphasizes Kendalls already amazing shape, Costa said. He added large gray stones to anchor the straps for the finished product. And yes, regular old safety pins helped hold the dress together during tailoring.
