Who: Beyoncé
Where: At the Met Gala 2012 in New York
Wearing: A Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci, featuring a beaded corseted bodysuit with sheer fabric and a ombre black and purple cascading feathered train

Givenchy Spring Summer Couture 2012. What else is there to say but wow.
Riccardo Tisci was influenced by Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and Aelita for the Spring Summer 2012 Haute Couture collection.
The crocodile gown took some 350 hours produce. The atelier would disassemble a skin, bleach it, re-dye it and remount it on tulle. It’s just incredible.
I love that this shoot had a basketball theme. It was shot in the oldest gymnasium in Paris.
I wasn’t a fan of the oversized nose rings and...Read Full Story
