It was a red-carpet hit for years after its runway debut.
Author:Ana ColónPublish date:Apr 29, 2020There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In 'Great Outfits in Fashion History,' Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.The story begins at Alexander McQueen's Fall 2003 show, where the look in question made its debut.
A few months after its Paris Fashion Week debut, we saw the first instance of this, when Eve wore it to the 2003 CFDA Awards in New York . That night, McQueen accepted the organization's annual International Award. Over a year later, the dress reappeared — on model Naomi Campbell, no less. She wore it to a November 2004 party in London, thrown in honor of McQueen, who had just received the Menswear Designer of the Year prize from the Fashion Awards .
We saw the dress yet again, a year and a half later, at the 2006 Met Gala. It's perhaps best remembered as the one where McQueen and Sarah Jessica Parker famously arrived wearing complementary tartan outfits. The theme was AngloMania, so, naturally, many attendees decided to don Alexander McQueen. Among them was Lily Donaldson, who — surprise! — brought out the Fall 2003 frock .
In addition to its clear popularity among the fashion-savvy, what stands out to me about this over-a-decade-old design is how, like so many pieces McQueen made, it feels relevant in 2020. The silhouette, the fit, the color, the detail — it can be worn today without necessarily feeling archival. 6Gallery6 ImagesPlease note: Occasionally, we use affiliate links on our site.
