First Monday of May is equal to extravagance, fashion icons and also, high jewellery. This year again, the MET Gala welcomed international celebrities to shine bright on the theme «Camp: Notes on Fashion». Actors, supermodels, singers, fashion designers and renown influencers were highly sponsored by jewellery brands.
Among them, Bulgari conquered many of the prestigious names such as their brand ambassador Lily Aldridge, but also Naomi Campbell, Hailey Bieber, Miley Cyrus. Many of the creations were part of Bulgari’s archives, as well as their iconic Serpenti collection. The MET Gala being an extra American event, it was surprising to discover most of the creations from the Italian jeweller that evening.
