Monday, May 5th, marked the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This event brings together an impressive crowd of actors, artists, and fashion enthusiasts to raise money for the museum's Costume Institute. Fresh off her three-concert run in New York City, Charlie XCX attended the event in a gorgeous Ann Demeulemeester design and jewels by Bucherer Fine Jewellery. Bucherer goes behind the scenes to uncover the details of her dramatic Met Gala look.

For her third time attending the Met Gala, Charli XCX's team created a look that channeled gothic glamour while adhering to the event's dress code, "Tailored to You." According to Vogue, Charlie XCX and her personal stylist Chris Horan worked with Belgian design house Ann Demeulemeester to create the custom look that plays with distortion, asymmetry, and rich textures that still felt deeply personal to the artist. The fitted blazer and open-back micro waistcoat pay homage to the exhibition's exploration of dandyism, while the sheer silk chiffon train and thigh-high leather boots speak to the singer's personal style. But no look is complete without the perfect jewelry to tie in elements of personality and glamour.

Tailored to Charli XCX's theatrical style

With tailoring as an essential motif of the Met Gala, sharp lines and exaggerated silhouettes were the focus of the look. Demeulemeester's asymmetrical and theatrical designs created a base upon which Bucherer Fine Jewellery's unexpected shapes and sharp shine could add glamour.

A cornerstone of Charli XCX's theatrical look was the showstopping black feather headdress, featuring the same feathers from her sheer skirt. This headdress was designed to be worn away from the ears to display the Bucherer Fine Jewellery Rock Diamonds Cluster earrings. The trapezoid-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, arranged in an asymmetrical explosion of shine, complement the tailored lines of the jacket and the feathered shape of the headdress, adding a bright spot to the monochromatic look.

The gothic-inspired look was an exercise in perfecting the rock-and-roll glamour that Charli XCX has crafted over the past year. Setting herself apart has required the singer and her team to embrace self-expression with each new look. Charli mixed diamond rings from multiple Bucherer Fine Jewellery collections to express different elements of her personality while keeping with the night's theme.

The Bucherer Fine Jewellery Inner Fire Collection was inspired by international jewelry designer Hollie Bonneville Barden's desire to break free from the classic codes of geometric lines. The Inner Fire two-finger ring references Charli XCX's edgier "365 party girl" persona, with a fun silhouette that takes the place of two rings. The clear facets on the brilliant-shaped diamonds that cascade down a serpentine line of the Inner Fire High Jewellery ring twisting along Charli's finger juxtapose clean lines with its soft shape, echoing the exaggerated silhouette and soft folds of the sheer skirt and long train.

The sophisticated yet understated Baguette Love band plays off the complexity of the other two rings. Two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds create a base of clarity and shine, while the baguette-cut diamonds emphasize the sharp lines of a perfectly tailored look. The reflection of light adds a unique dimension to the all-black outfit, reflecting Charli XCX's feminine and powerful point of view.
