The Met’s biggest appearance may have met their match.
The stars stepped forward in style for Monday’s Met Gala 2023 with headline-worthy looks, from Kim Kardashian’s pearl-embroidered Schiaparelli dress to Rihanna’s floral-print Valentino.
But while most of the fashions at the chic party will cost you thousands of dollars, accessing the designer archive or teaming up with Anna Wintour isn’t required to buy similar looks for less.
Whether you try tweed or embellish with pearls.
Below, discover more budget-friendly ways to get your favorite Met Gala suits, and be sure to check out our guide to recreating the gala’s best moments to complete the look.
