Mary J. Blige attends the 2017 Met Gala in a creation from the La Perla Haute
Couture Collection designed by Creative Director Julia Haart. Blige debuted La
Perla’s latest innovation: latex lace. The corseted column gown in stretch
tulle, latex lace, and silk cady perfectly links La Perla’s lingerie heritage
with its future in haute couture.
ABOUT MARY J BLIGE’S GOWN:Inspired by Rei Kawakubo’s concept of
‘un-fabric,’ Creative Director Julia Haart created hand-sculpted latex lace as
the principal feature for Blige’s provocative column gown. Starting with a
corset that features a built-in La Perla bra, the black stretch tulle is adorned
with scalloped latex lace and hand-placed boning detail.
“I am so honored to be attending the Met Gala with the legendary Mary J.
Blige. Her strength and femininity inspired me to create a gown that is both
tough and feminine – strong and sexy.” – Julia Haart, La Perla Creative
Director
