Danai Gurira's MetGala dress certainly embraced the Gilded Glamour dress code. See more about her one-shouldered gown, designed by Head of State’s Taofeek Abijako, here:
, but given the Gilded Age dress code on the Met’s red carpet, Abijako wanted to highlight this aspect of African culture once again. “I couldn’t find references [in the Gilded Age] of people that look like us,” says Abijako. “We also know the historical context as to why. The most exciting part was being able to reimagine what these people looked like.” Gurira, who is a fan of Abijako’s work, felt he was the right designer to take this idea and run with it.
Gurira’s Met dress came together rather quickly—in about a week—and was made using Mikado, an Italian silk. “I wanted something that felt luxe,” says Abijako. Gurira was set on the royal blue colorway. “To me, it’s a very striking color,” says Gurira. “I feel it works very well on African, dark skin.” Abijako adds that the electric hue ties into the theme as well. “It’s [a color] that was actually consistent during that time period, especially in paintings.
, the designer would often use the various Met Gala themes as a way to inspire sketches or ideas for fun. “I figured I would never get invited to [the Met], but I would always take the theme and sketch and mess around a little bit,” says Abijako. “So it came full circle to do the Met this year—I’ve been preparing for this for a while!” Gurira was simply thrilled to work with Abijako on such a memorable moment. “I love feeling like I’m transformed by what I’m wearing,” says Gurira.
