For 2024’s Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, Hadid leaned into drama with a sculptural Thom Browne look—a crisp white, off-the-shoulder gown with a corseted base. The skirt fanned out like a collage of suit jackets stitched into one, finished with 3D yellow flowers and winding vines. It reportedly took over 13,500 hours to make—exactly the kind of craftsmanship the Met carpet lives for.

For Superfine: Tailoring Black Style last year, Hadid showed up in a long halter-neck number by Dimitris Giannetos, with a silhouette that nodded to Anna Sui’s fall 2025 glam. In custom Miu Miu styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, the gold sequinned dress drew from Zelda Wynn Valdes’ design language—celebrated for sculpting the female form and for creating the iconic Playboy Bunny uniform.
