Amber Valletta

The 2004 Met Gala was transported back in time when Amber Valletta swept through its doors. Resplendent in a patterned John Galliano skirt and a shimmering gold Maggie Norris Couture corset, she epitomized the lavishness of the Marie Antoinette era. But it wasn’t just her attire that drew gasps; it was her regal hairdo, reminiscent of the French queen herself.

As attendees wandered through the “Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century” exhibit, Amber seemed to leap straight out of the pages of history, embodying the opulence of French aristocracy. That evening, while art surrounded everyone, she was undeniably a living masterpiece.
