13 Met Gala Outfits With Hidden Nods to the Theme That You Probably Missed

Parker absolutely nailed the "Gilded Glamour" theme with this Christopher John Rogers checkered gown inspired by Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley. Keckley was the first Black woman fashion designer at the White House, though she is often overlooked. Parker worked with Rogers to create a timeless piece that was a mix of classic and modern, choosing one of Keckley's designs from the Gilded Age period to highlight the disparity between the glamour of the Gilded Age and the harsh realities many marginalized communities had to face at that time.
