The MET Gala was the highlight of this month, and one trend stood out: bridal inspiration was everywhere on the red carpet. This year’s gala celebrated the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” with the official dress code being “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story. The theme sparked a diverse array of interpretations, inviting attendees to explore the realms of dreams and fairy tales. The results were nothing short of mesmerizing, with whispers of bridal inspiration in ethereal gowns, sweeping trains, and elegant drop-waist silhouettes—a feast for soon-to-be brides. To aid in your bridal look inspiration quest, we’ve curated a roundup of our favorite bridal-inspired looks from the gala.
Ariana Grande’s Loewe ensemble was defined by its corset, mother-of-pearl shimmer, and flowing skirt. The ultra-feminine design emanated dreamy, fairy-tale vibes, rendering it an ideal option for a wedding.
Imagining Ariana wearing this gown on her wedding day, we envision styling her hair in a sleek mid bun and opting for natural, glowy makeup to achieve a sophisticated bridal look.
Bruna’s custom pale blush gown by Tory Burch was perfection. The intricate design of the corset and hoop skirt, highlighted by the unique texture of pebbled organza, was breathtaking. Her hair and makeup choices complemented the gown beautifully, making this look ideal for a second reception dress.
Trend alert: Drop-waist silhouettes, like those worn by Ariana and Bruna, dominated the Spring 2025 Bridal Fashion Week runways.
Kylie’s custom ivory gown featured a sculpted silhouette inspired by the garden statues in J.G. Ballard’s short story, providing bridal inspiration in a distinct form. The long train, hair adorned with delicate rose details, and soft makeup created a stunning wedding look.
Kaia’s white Prada gown offered elegant welcome event vibes. Her old Hollywood-inspired side-part bouffant hairstyle added a chic bridal touch.
Elle’s look embodied a radiant ice princess vibe, perfect for a bridal appearance. The simple, dewy makeup complemented the transparent, glassy effect of her gown. A romantic textured updo would enhance the ethereal bride energy.
Jodie’s gown featured a dramatic train, ideal for a Cabo wedding. The white Burberry tulle dress, meticulously hand-embroidered with ivory silk organza feather flowers, paired perfectly with a sleek, low bun for a polished finish.
While unconventional, Tyla’s sand-colored dress provided excellent bridal inspiration with its silhouette. The wet-look hair and dewy makeup gave off “mermaid eloping on the shore” vibes.
