Alex Consani Channeled Botticelli and ‘Black Swan’ at the 2026 Met Gala

Alex Consani is able to shake her tail feathers at the 2026 Met Gala.

The mannequin hit the Met Gala red carpet in a gucci robe and cape by Demnaimpressed by Sandro Botticelli’s Spring. “We sent each other some references. We talked a little bit about how we wanted it to feel, and he was already on it,” Consani says. “At the fitting for his first showwe had a conversation about what I wanted, and he was really, really receptive to making it happen.”

While the Renaissance tableau is not quick on vogue inspiration, Demna zeroed in on one ingredient: the far proper scene during which Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, kidnaps Chloris, the goddess of flowers and spring. Channeling Chloris’s transformation into the goddess Flora, Consani’s look concerned a metamorphosis of her personal.

Consani hit the carpet in a white faille cape, which, when eliminated, unveiled a dramatic robe, the nude tulle bustier, skirt, and prepare coated in feathers. “The best way to describe it is white swan to black swan,” she says of the reveal.
