Among the best-dressed attendees from the 2023 MetGala was the model AnokYai, dressed by PrabalGurung. Watch the latest installment of BehindtheLook for a deep dive on how this mermaid-core Met Gala moment came to life:

“This particular dress I had in my mind for a really long time based on his [Lagerfeld’s] Chanel Haute Couture shows,” shares Gurung. What most did not realize is that Yai’s look was two separate pieces: a short dress with oxidized gold and silver hand-embroidered degrade sequin paillettes and beaded bugle bead fringe, and a sheer silk tulle mermaid skirt hand embroidered with cascading oxidized gold and silver sequin paillettes underneath.

In the episode Gurung goes on to explain that when he received his CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award in 2010 it was Lagerfeld that presented it to him. “I’ll never forget that exchange and it has remained with me forever. It has made me a better designer,” he recalls. Watch the latest installment of Behind the Look for a deep dive on how this Met Gala moment came to life.
