“Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”; How to channel Met Gala 2018 Glamour with Ellis Bridals

May 16, 2018

The fashion world was recently taken by storm by the fantastic array of iconoclastic inspiration seen at the Met Gala 2018. Celebrities were bedecked in jewels, gold and brocade and were dazzlingly dramatic to say the very least! Many of these dresses were worthy of a renaissance royal wedding but Ellis Bridals knows that the modern bride prefers a more demure look. But that shouldn’t mean they have to lose any of the dramatic effect! We’ve analysed some of the most impressive dresses worn by celebs at the Met Gala 2018 and we’ve found Ellis bridals wedding gowns that perfectly convey the same glamour and dramatic effect. Your wedding guests will be blown away by your choice of Ellis Bridals wedding dress and your A-list style!

Firstly why not go for royal wedding glamour by channelling the dragon queen’s style? Game of Thrones star, Emilia Clarke, was dazzling in Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda with detailed panels and a distinctly stunning crown.

To work this style into your wedding we have chosen an Ellis Bridals gown that is as regal as it is charming. It is a fit and flare show stopper with a dramatic sweetheart neckline and corded lace over a beaded bodice. Pair with a bejewelled tiara and large diamond drop earrings to be the icy princess to this fiery look. Complement this look with a subtle smoky eye, a classic red pout and defined cheekbones.

Our next favourite look was another queen on the carpet! Bake Lively’s Atelier Versace dress was a fabulous testament to the richness and depth of historical catholic aesthetics. She incorporated a loving tribute to her family with their initials on her Judith Leiber Couture clutch which would work perfectly for a bride looking to carry her family with her down the aisle.

Pay homage to this iconic look with an Ellis Bridals dress that has a similar neckline, taffeta A-line skirt and beaded embroidery atop the bodice. Chose a wedding hair style that will support a sun-burst effect accessory and offset with bright and sparkling eye shadow for a radiant look. Work in an engraved bracelet with the names of your loved ones so that they’re with you every step of the way!

Our final favourite from the Met Gala is Selena Gomez’s fairytale look. She was dreamy and effortlessly couture in a Coach dress with a casual up-do and a glowing look.

Ellis Bridals found the perfect wedding dress to replicate this look in our sister brand, Kelsey Rose bridal wear. This lightweight yet detailed Kelsey Rose wedding dress is crafted out of soft chiffon with a graphic cut out design. Use gold to highlight cheeks and the corners of the eye and a loose braided up-do for a Grecian goddess feel to your wedding. Open toed silver pumps and silver hoop earrings will be the icing on the wedding cake with this stunning wedding look.
