For instance, Alex Consani wore a sweeping, hand-crafted, sculptural necklace, inspired by the Vienna Collection, made of 18,400 crystals seamlessly integrated into the tailoring of the jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1.png 768w, https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_Swarovski_Met-Gala_Robert-Wun-x-Swarovski_Shaboozey_BTS-2-1-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another underrated way to transform a look is ear cuffs. Sora Choi wore a blue formal dress coat that transitioned into a balletic, swan-like skirt. To accessorize, she wore ear cuffs from the Vienna Collection and unique, showpiece swan rings inspired by the Vienna swan ear cuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For something simple yet equally stylish, brooches are a go-to accessory. They&#8217;re versatile and can be worn by anyone. At the Met Gala, actors Jeffery Goldblum and Andrew Scott accessorized their looks with Swarovski brooches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though, the glitz and glam from the Met has come and gone, we can all take some notes from Hollywood\u2019s superstars on what\u2019s fashionable and how to make our outfits a little more interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of fashion\u2019s biggest nights in<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56,44,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-life-style","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4252"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4253,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252\/revisions\/4253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coolnblack.co.za\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
