Every year, the Met Gala red carpet inspires style fanatics everywhere, from beauty lovers looking for drugstore products that celebrities used while prepping to fashion obsessives uncovering every detail behind the looks. Since Met Gala guests often choose extravagant designs, you may be at a loss for what to wear to a watch party or themed get-together. But not to worry, look no further than the Meta Watch Party creators for how to turn Met Gala themes into wearable outfits. Instagram hosts the event every year at the Mark Hotel, and this year saw over fifty fashion creators bringing the Met Gala theme to life in a fun, approachable way.

Much like the Black Dandyism theme that translated to fashion, beauty, and decor finds, this year’s dress code “Fashion Is Art” is more accessible than you think. You can embrace Yves Klein blue with a suit or gown in the vibrant cobalt hue or simply add a headpiece or floral arrangement (seriously) to your look to give it a dramatic flair. Prints like florals are perfectly appropriate, and you can go a step further with artful patterns from graffiti to watercolor. Finally, if you’re out of ideas, a metallic dress is always party-ready.

Keep scrolling for street-style photos from the Meta Watch party as well as on-theme pieces to shop for every budget from Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Etsy, and more.
