Not every attendee of the 2022 Met Gala dressed according to the theme, but others took the “Gilded Glamour” dress code and ran with it.

Jessica Chastain was of the latter category.
Showing up in a fortune teller costume that would not look out of place at a circus, she perfectly embodied Gilded Glamor in a red sequin Gucci dress that featured a matching turban and stunning jewels.

Though we can’t imagine anyone who lived in the Gilded Age wearing this look, Chastain still met the theme by displaying opulence and grandeur, just as the wealthy class did in those times.
In March, Jessica won the award for Best Actress at the Oscars for her starring role in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. She was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 2012 for The Help and Best Actress in 2013 for Zero Dark Thirty.
Wearing a pink and gold Gucci ensemble, the 45-year-old actress was joined on the red carpet by her husband, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo.

In her acceptance speech, she addressed “discriminatory and bigoted legislation that is sweeping our country with the only goal of further dividing us,” and she paid tribute to the LGBTQ community.

In November 2017, all eyes were on Jessica Chastain. She turned heads on the red carpet when attending an AFI Fest screening of her American biographical crime drama film Molly’s Game.

She looked stunning in a glittering black gown that seemed simple from the front, but the flirty sheer panel and dramatic slit added a sexy element to her look.
The Academy Award winner wore a Resort 2018 gown from Elie Saab, which featured a high neckline, a floor-skimming hem, and a sleeveless design.

The thigh-high slit showed off her enviable pins and sexy Paul Andrew heels.

Her flawless beauty look consisted of old Hollywood glam waves, shimmering eye makeup, and soft pink lips. A statement necklace rounded out Jessica’s elegant red carpet look.
Her Paul Andrew platform sandals gave her glamorous red carpet ensemble a sultry edge.
These shoes feature multiple slender toe bands, crisscross ankle straps, and thin high heels. This particular style is unavailable, but you shop for other shoe styles from the same designer at Farfetch and Shopbop.
