Alex Consani Wears Demna Gucci Gown Inspired by Botticelli at 2026 Met Gala

At the 2026 Met Gala, model Alex Consani made a striking appearance in a Demna-designed Gucci gown and cape, drawing inspiration from Sandro Botticelli's 'Primavera' (ca. 1480). The ensemble showcased a white faille cape that, when taken off, unveiled a nude tulle bustier, skirt, and feathered train, symbolizing a transformation from 'white swan to black swan.' Demna's design highlighted the moment of Zephyrus abducting Chloris, reflecting her evolution into Flora. After debuting at the 2025 Met Gala in a Swarovski crystal suit dress, Consani returned as a host committee member, marking her as the first trans woman to co-chair the event. She called it a 'really special moment,' emphasizing the importance of discussions about expression and bodies. Consani also remarked that Demna's creations enhance her theatrical flair, likening her red-carpet presence to a blend of Natalie Portman and Tilda Swinton.
