Home • Fashion First Lady Style: MET Gala Predictions What will Mrs. O wear to the New York Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala after the ribbon-cutting ceremony? Here are a few runway moments we think she'd rock. By Celia L. Smith · Updated October 27, 2020 01 Fab Flashback The First Lady donned this off-the-shoulder Ralph Lauren gown that resembled that of royalty. 02 Ebony Beauty Alberta Ferretti’s Spring lace chiffon gown would be a fabulous fit for the MET gala’s “evening attire” dress code. 03 Fab Flashback This strapless sparkling Peter Soronen gown was quite the stunner, even more so when generously adorned with pearls. 04 Sheer Chic Oscar de La Renta’s strapless checked gown (with the proper under garments of course) would suit the First Lady exquisitely just the same. 05 Fab Flashback Who could forget Mrs. O in this incredible Alexander McQueen ravishing red gown. 06 All-American Red At the MET, Mrs. O can translate that fabulousness with this look from American designer Zac Posen, who perfects ballroom-worthy gown. 07 Fab Flashback This two-toned Carolina Herrera dress stopped us in our tracks, and we wouldn’t mind seeing it again, only it’s a tad too soon.

Christian Siriano’s fluttering fire engine red style can definitely live up to the last gown’s boldness. 15 Fab Flashback White is extremely striking on the First Lady, and this Tom Ford gown complete with arm-length gloves proves our point. 16 Ivory Fresh With this Badgley Mischka spring gown, Mrs. O can relive the moment.
