Anne Hathaway Debuts Hand-Painted Michael Kors Gown at the Met Gala

The hand-painted dress framed Hathaway as the artwork in line with the Costume Art theme.

Overview

  • Anne Hathaway arrived at the Met Gala in New York wearing a custom strapless mikado ball gown from Michael Kors Collection painted by artist Peter McGough.
  • McGough said he drew on John Keats’s Ode on a Grecian Urn and aimed to turn the wearer into a moving work of art, according to Vogue reporting relayed by ELLE.
  • The dress featured hands, a dove, and a classical profile, with fashion outlets saying the imagery reads as a clear narrative rather than decoration.
  • Styling stayed sparse to spotlight the painting, with reports naming a Bvlgari choker, stud earrings, and Roger Vivier sandals as the only accessories.
  • The appearance marked Hathaway’s ninth Met Gala, with coverage noting the look’s close alignment to the museum’s Costume Art theme.
