Alex Consani left little to the imagination at the 2026 Met Gala.
The model turned heads at the May 4 “Costume Art”-themed benefit, baring her nipples in a Gucci gown by Demna featuring a sheer, skin-colored corset top and feathered black skirt.
Alex completed the look with a white cape, taking inspiration for the outfit from Sandro Botticelli’s 15th century painting “Primavera” for the “Fashion Is Art” dress code. (See all the stars at the Met Gala here.)
“We sent each other some references; we talked a little bit about how we wanted it to feel, and he was already on it,” Alex told Vogue of her and Demna’s design process. “At the fitting for his first show, we had a conversation about what I wanted, and he was really, really receptive to making it happen.”
According to the 22-year-old, Demna focused on Chloris, the goddess of flowers and spring, as the main inspiration for the look, giving Alex a metamorphosis of her own once she dropped the white cape on the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
