Okay, so, I got this thing for the Met Gala, right? The 2017 one. And let me tell you, it was a whole process, but totally worth it. I was scrolling through my phone, procrastinating as usual, and then bam! I saw this picture of Bella Hadid at the 2017 Met Gala, and I was like, “I need to recreate that.”
First things first, I started digging around for everything I could find about that look. I mean, Bella Hadid in that Alexander Wang catsuit? Iconic. I found a bunch of pictures on Getty Images, some articles talking about the outfit, and even a video on Vimeo. I watched and read everything I could, trying to get all the details right.
Then came the hard part—actually trying to recreate the look. I searched high and low for a similar catsuit. Let me tell you, finding a sheer, crocheted catsuit that doesn’t cost a fortune is no easy feat. But I was determined. I went to every online store I could think of, read a ton of reviews, and even hit up a few local shops. I looked for something as close to the original as I could.
- Scoured the internet for Bella Hadid’s 2017 Met Gala look.
- Found tons of photos and articles detailing the Alexander Wang catsuit.
- Hunted for a similar catsuit online and in local stores.
- Tried on a bunch of different outfits to get the look just right.
After what felt like forever, I finally found the one. It wasn’t exactly the same, but it was close enough, and it fit like a glove. Next up, the hair and makeup. I watched a bunch of tutorials on YouTube and practiced for hours. Getting that sleek, pulled-back hair was tougher than it looks! And the makeup? Let’s just say I used up a lot of eyeliner trying to get that perfect cat-eye.
Finally, the day came to put it all together. I put on the catsuit, did my hair and makeup, and stood in front of the mirror. It wasn’t a perfect replica, but I felt amazing. I even took a bunch of pictures, trying to mimic Bella’s poses from the red carpet.
The Final Look
It was a lot of work, but honestly, it was so much fun. I felt like a celebrity for a day, and it was a great way to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. Plus, I got some killer photos out of it. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Maybe next time I’ll try a different Met Gala look. Who knows?
