Gigi Hadid brought major Marvel energy to the 2022 Met Gala, evoking comparisons to Scarlet Witch with her dramatic Versace ensemble.
The wealthy supermodel turned heads in a skintight burgundy latex jumpsuit layered under an oversized, floor-length puffer coat—an eye-catching look that wouldn’t be out of place in a superhero film.

Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Christine Baranski in a custom sequined Thom Browne suit with bold sunglasses, Kendall Jenner in a sheer black Prada gown with bleached eyebrows, Vanessa Hudgens in a daring sheer black Moschino dress, and Kylie Jenner in a bridal-inspired Off-White gown and backwards baseball cap.
Modern Drama: Corset Bustier, Latex Jumpsuit, and Versace’s Statement Puffer
Hadid’s head-turning ensemble centered on a structured boned corset bustier layered over a skintight burgundy latex jumpsuit. She completed the seamless, monochromatic look with tall red boots that added drama and cohesion.
Gigi’s oversized floor-length Versace puffer coat was draped over her shoulders as a bold cape. Crafted from rich silk with a short train, high collar, and gradient quilted finish, the statement piece added volume and vintage-inspired grandeur to her futuristic silhouette.

Historical Glamour Meets High Fashion: Versace and Gigi Explain the Look
Versace explained the inspiration behind Gigi’s look on their official Instagram, saying it’s a “modern interpretation of coats from the late 1800s and a refresh of the Dolman silhouette for a new age of glamour.”
“The corset and the overexaggerate volume of the jacket confront each other in a decadent display of contrast inspired by the volume and dramatic change in womenswear silhouettes of late 1800s.”
Speaking to Emma Chamberlain on the red carpet, Gigi admitted that her massive coat is “the heaviest thing” she’s worn to the Met Ball.
“For this, we wanted to incorporate how in the 1800s those shapes for womenswear became a lot more exaggerated and started to push boundaries. And of course, Versace is always celebrating that. So, that’s what we went for tonight.”
“It’s very heavy, I will not be eating dinner in it,” she added.

Her Chopard necklace incorporated red undertones to match her monochromatic look.
Zayn Malik’s ex finished her vampy look with a spiky updo by Esther Langham, a swipe of bold red Maybelline lipstick by Erin Parsons, and red nails by Japanese nail artist Mei.
While the outfit wasn’t ‘gilded glamour,’ it may have landed Hadid a call for the next Marvel movie.
