Sarah Jessica Parker’s Met Gala Gown Pays Homage To The White House’s First Black Female DesignerSarah Jessica Parker’s Met Gala looks over the years have led us to expect a few things every time she returns to the museum’s steps, namely, a whole lot of opulence, and a headpiece. So, when the actress arrived at the event on Sunday night in a black and white checkered ballgown with a veil topped with flowers and feathers, it was clear the Queen of the Met Gala had officially returned.
For her first Gala since 2018, Parker tapped Christopher John Rogers to design her look, and he delivered a corseted, off-the-shoulder gown with a silhouette perfectly representative of the “Gilded Age” time period. But the corseting wasn’t the only reference to the evening’s theme. Roger’s design pays homage to Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, a seamstress, civil rights activist, and author, who made history as the first female Black fashion designer to work in the White House.
