Fashion is one of the most attention-grabbing aspects of the red carpet and a key factor that makes A-list celebrities stand out at major events. Therefore, what famous stars wear on the red carpet always garners the most attention.
In fact, these days some celebrities are forced to decide upon their wardrobe choices for a given event way ahead of time… since certain dresses can take as long as 800 hours to make!
That was the case, at least, for the dress Jennifer Lopez donned at this year’s Met Gala earlier this month. The theme was “Garden of Time”, and the singer – who currently finds her name in the headlines as a result of speculation surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck – certainly went all in.
As per reports, Lopez’s sheer, mermaid-style silver gown demanded more than 800 hours of hand embroidery to bring it to life.
Not only that, but it was put together with 2,500,000 silver foil bugles and beads, resulting in a truly breath-taking spectacle when Lopez donned it for the red carpet.
Needless to say, there was plenty of praise showered on the This Is Me Now singer in light of the event, though if we’re being honest, Lopez’s detractors were out in force too.
