Selena attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala in New York City. This year’s theme celebrates the museum’s Costume Institute exhibition “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” which explores the intersection of haute couture and machine-made fashion.

Selena is wearing a bespoke Louis Vuitton dress from the Autumn Winter 2016 collection (not yet available). I can see why stylist Kate Young chose this dress – it does evoke fashion in an age of technology with it’s leather female-superhero-style bodice and stud work dress.

UPDATED 22 August 2016:

The Louis Vuitton V-Neck Fluid Silk dress £3,100 is now available (minus the customisation afforded Selena’s dress). A long, fluid dress in white gabardine twill with a satin effect, featuring a low V-neck and the collection’s signature tone-on-tone
rolled hemline.

 

 

Also available is the Louis Vuitton Soft Lambskin Bra £1,840. A lambskin bra-like top with contrasting white details. The back features tone-on-tone leather lacing, while a loop at the shoulder can be used to hold the thin strap of the collection ‘s dresses.

 

 

Selena’s high-gloss boots are also from the Louis Vuitton Autumn Winter 2016 collection (not yet available).

Selena is carrying a Louis Vuitton Cruise 15 Epi Leather Petit Malle in White (no longer available).

Selena’s bracelet is either from Louis Vuitton or from Cartier. I will update with details once I have received them!

Skin

Skin looks refined and feels refreshed, creating an exquisite makeup experience.

Eyes

“I added a few medium-length individual Ardell lashes $4.99, mostly on the outer corner of her eye, and then coated her lashes with two coats of Dior Diorshow Extase Mascara in Black Extase $29.50.”  

 

 

 

He added, “Instead of eye shadow, I did a wash of MAC Glitter Reflects Gold across her lid and on the lower lash line.”

Cheeks

“I used Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Killer Cheekbones $110 for shading and highlighting her cheekbones and the top of her nose,” he said. “I dusted Tom Ford Bronzing Powder in Gold Dust $68 just along the hairline and along the jaw, and brushed Surratt Beauty Artistique Blush in Duchesse $32, mostly on her cheekbone.”
