Daisy Edgar-Jones epitomized style as she attended UTA's Pre-Met Gala in New York on Sunday evening. The British actress, 29, turned heads by going braless beneath a red leather lingerie-inspired dress that hugged her figure. The dress featured racy lace panels, and she completed the look with chic black heels and a matching clutch.
Pre-Met Gala Event
The event took place ahead of the Met Gala, scheduled for Monday. This year's honorary co-chairs, Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos, have faced backlash, with posters around Manhattan reading: 'Boycott The Bezos Met Gala.' However, former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour defended the couple, stating, 'I think Lauren is going to be a wonderful asset to the museum and to the event.'
Kim Kardashian's Rumored Acquisition
Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is reportedly set to wear Princess Diana's iconic 1994 'Revenge Dress' at the Met Gala. The dress, designed by Christina Stambolian, was worn by Diana after King Charles' televised adultery admission. It is owned by a private Scottish collector, Graeme Mackenzie, who purchased it at auction for over $74,000 and keeps it in a bank vault.
On Good Morning Britain, entertainment correspondent Rishi Davda added to the speculation, saying, 'If rumours are to be believed, she is hiring another iconic frock - none other than Princess Diana's 1994 revenge dress.'
Public Reaction
The news has sparked criticism, with one X user writing, 'So Kim is reportedly trying to acquire Diana’s “revenge dress.” After destroying the look of Marilyn's dress! Kim u can wear an iconic dress, but u can’t replicate the presence, context, or legacy that made it unforgettable.'
Kim faced backlash in 2022 after allegedly damaging Marilyn Monroe's iconic gown, which she wore to the Met Gala. Videos and images emerged showing rips and tears on the dress, with fans claiming the damage occurred during transport and wear. An Instagram user highlighted 'multiple tatters' on the gown, leading to widespread criticism.
