Ashley Graham Hand-Sewn into Di Petsa Gown for 2026 Met Gala
Model Ashley Graham wore a custom Di Petsa gown to the 2026 Met Gala, hand-sewn onto her body. The dress, inspired by the designer's fall 2026 'serpent skin' collection, features a nude-mesh with draping that mimics serpent scales. Graham, hosting the livestream, accessorized with silver chrome-dipped hands as a tribute to artists. This marks the first Met Gala appearance for Greek designer Dimitra Petsa, who expressed admiration for Graham's intellect and beauty. The event's exhibition, 'Costume Art,' explores historical depictions of clothes and the body.
