As a member of the host committee, Taylor embraced the "Fashion Is Art" code in a silver, fringe-heavy Tom Ford gown with a matching fringed headdress that draped over half her face. She shook to animate the metallic fringe, calling the effect a garment that "looks like it's melting" and "the ghost of a body."
Taylor, 35, is known for bold Met looks — last year she favored a tailored pinstripe suit created with costume designer Ruth E. Carter — and for balancing performer life with parenting. She compared her home life to "Hannah Montana," switching between carpet-ready and full-on mommy mode, proud to see Junie and Rue posing on the red carpet.
