Gabrielle Unionhad a teary moment while explaining the inspiration for her look for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute benefit.
While walking the steps of the2022 Met Galaon Monday night, Union, 49, sparkled in a silver, plunging Versace gown with a stunning embellished feathered train and a red floral accent around her waist. With her hair pulled back in a low bun, she completed her look with Tiffany & Co. dangling earrings, a diamond bracelet, and rings.
“This is from Versace, they’ve been working on these looks for many, many, many months and from sketch to the execution is dead-on,” she toldVogue’s livestream of the outfit, adding, “I kind of get a little emotional when you talk about everything that goes into the making of this dress and what inspired it.”
