This MetGala photographer's colorful dress went unexpectedly viral
With a silhouette like an elongated T-shirt and swirls of blue, purple, and green, it was a dream dress plucked out of starry night. And it wasn’t long until social media took notice. In a picture of Eilish perfecting her best Marilyn Monroe pose, there was Abrams, armed with two cameras, freshly dyed red hair, a Bienen Davis purse that read “4all”, their father’s gold chain, and a pair of Nike sneakers.
As a reference, Abrams sent Norris an image of Tilda Swinton accepting an Oscar in 2008 wearing what they described as “this big Lanvin sack.” Then, Norris mulled over the theme, “In America.” “I was like, I’m an American designer,” Norris toldover the phone. “I should do something that was deeply centered in craft.” She then enlisted her friend, the marbling artist Sheryl Oppenheim, to dye roughly 15 scarves.
Viral or otherwise, Abrams had a tender reason for wearing the dress. “I feel like she [Norris] deserves a place in the Met,” says Abrams. “And I told her, ‘I’m going to wear you to the Met until you’re in the Met.‘”
