Alexander Wang On Bella's Met Look

Bella Hadid´s skin-tight Alexander Wang catsuit was one of the most talked-about outfits from this year’s Met Gala – and the designer had only one thing in mind; showcasing the model’s figure to perfection.

“It was exciting to do a bodysuit for the Met because I felt that it was something that hasn’t really been explored,” Wang told us exclusively last night. Inspired by the late-night-luxe jumpsuits from his autumn/winter 2017 collection, the NY designer created “a more amplified version, done in lace with allover beading and embroidery down to the shoe,” he explained: “It really shows off Bella’s incredible body.”


The beaded jumpsuit was one of her bravest looks yet; featuring a low, scooped back and off-the-shoulder neckline of the intricate beaded jumpsuit, teamed with newly-cropped hair insured all eyes were on her at Monday night’s red carpet. The outing marked the first event that Bella attended where her ex-boyfriend, The Weeknd, and his new girlfriend, Selena Gomez, were also there – sparking a raft of hilarious internet memes.

Hadid knew she was in good hands when it came to switching her usual formal attire for a fierce feline look: “I love a sexy look, so I knew Alex was going to do that for me,” she told us. “When I saw the sketch it was exactly what he told me and what we envisioned!”


The model - who did not confirm or deny rumours that she was sewn into the catsuit prior to the red carpet - said she felt that this year’s Met Gala avant-garde theme was the perfect opportunity to try something different: “The last few years I’ve worn more traditional black tie attire, this year with Comme being the theme I wanted to break the rules a little bit more,” said Hadid. “I think it interprets the theme, thinking outside the box – obviously Rei is the champion of that – and I thought, why not?”

Hadid’s red-carpet icons include Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista - “all the majors” - and her favourite Met Gala looks? “Of course Rihanna in the yellow majorness two years ago, and Beyoncé always kills it.” While Wang’s favourite person to dress is Met Gala co-chair, Gisele Bündchen. “Dressing Gisele is such a huge pleasure because I absolutely adore her, and she looks great in everything. I’ve dressed her in two completely different ways, and she makes it all so easy.”
