Sabrina Carpenter among stars to dazzle in Co Derry's Jonathan Anderson's Dior designs at Met Gala
County Derry designer Jonathan Anderson’s stunning designs were centre stage at the Met Gala on Monday night, with stars like Sabrina Carpenter, Naomi Watts and Miranda Kerr all dazzling in Dior.
Anderson was announced in 2025 as creative director for both Dior’s men and women’s and haute couture collections – the first designer to head all lines at the fashion house since Christian Dior.
‘Costume Art’ was the theme of this year’s Met Gala, which is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, while the dress code was ‘Fashion is Art’.
For Sabrina Carpenter, Jonathan Anderson’s design was a custom slit tulle dress, paying homage or Audrey Hepburn’s 1954 film, ‘Sabrina’.
K-Pop star Jisoo’s backless, strapless column dress was embroidered in a garden scene and inspired by Impressionism.
Others stars who also chose Jonathan Anderson’s Dior on the night included Alexa Chung, Karlie Kloss, Paul Anthony Kelly and Sunday Rose.
