Not everyone can say they shone at their first Met Gala. But Alex Consani, decked out in Swarovski crystals, literally sparkled at the 2025 Met Gala, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The Swarovski team—with input from Consani and stylist Carlos Nazario—leaned into the tailored brief for the evening with a crystal-encrusted suit dress. “Alex herself was the starting point of inspiration,” says Giovanna Engelbert, global creative director of Swarovski. “This moment was particularly special because it is Alex’s first Met Gala, so we wanted a look that was elegant, chic, timeless yet impactful—something she would always remember.”

For Consani, being able to collaborate on her look was both novel and welcome. “Having that opportunity to talk with people that you look up to in the design world is really rare. It was kind of a new thing for me, but it was great because it felt like such a collaboration,” she says. “Most of the sketches that they brought to me were exactly what I wanted.”
The floor-sweeping ecru suit dress with a plunging neckline and side cutouts was complete with show-stopping crystal-encrusted lapels that wrap around Consani’s waist and back. (All 18,400 stones were set by hand.)
