Whoopi Goldberg made a triumphant Met Gala return — and she let her outfit do the talking.
For her second appearance at the event, the EGOT winner graced the red carpet in a Thom Browne black-and-white dress with massive, sculptural sleeves. The stunning white overcoat was embellished with 350,000 matte sequins, which reportedly took 7,700 hours to create.
“For me, everything begins and ends with tailoring,” said designer Thom Brown. “I like to play with and reinterpret classic codes of black-tie dressing — and to reintroduce these traditional codes to people in ways they’ve never seen before.”
Goldberg made the look extra special by accessorizing with a black top hat with veil, a black tie, silver hoop earrings and several statement finger caps and rings.
