In a surreal short film called “The Night Before”, Burberry showcases their latest designs for the holiday season. The video stars Burna Boy and Shakira, and features the former walking through soft snowfall in a quilted nova check jacket with black angel wings attached, and a Santa-like sack printed with the house's signature print brimming with presents. Meanwhile, Shakira struts in a sheer tulle gown encrusted in crystals, similar to the one Lila Moss wore to the 2022 MET Gala, with silverware and other objects flying around her. The film highlights design elements from the tenure of former chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci before he stepped down in September.
Both Shakira and Burna Boy do an excellent job modeling the Burberry clothing in the film, proving that you don't need an ugly sweater to be the best dressed at a holiday party. While wearing black angel wings like Burna Boy might not be everyone's style, it's worth considering experimenting with different looks.
As the MET Gala approaches on May 1, many are curious about the guest list. While it remains a secret until the last minute, netizens are speculating about who may attend fashion's biggest night. According to reports, BTS members RM and Jimin may walk the red carpet at the event, marking the first time any members of the group have attended the MET Gala.
Both RM and Jimin are global ambassadors for luxury brands, including Bottega Veneta, Dior, and Tiffany & Co. They are known for their sophisticated and elegant looks, as well as their ability to pull off various fashion concepts and colors. Their interest in fashion and art makes them ideal candidates for the MET Gala, and fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see if they will make an appearance.
WWD Korea, a reliable source for fashion news, predicts that four top K-Pop idols are likely to join the MET Gala guest list next year. Alongside RM and Jimin, BLACKPINK's Jennie and Rosé are also expected to attend. These four idols are renowned for their musical talents, impeccable style, and influence in the fashion world. Jennie and Rosé are global ambassadors for Chanel and Saint Laurent respectively, as well as Sulwhasoo, and have attended various fashion events in the past, including the MET Gala.
