Alex Consani is ready to shake her tail feathers at the 2026 Met Gala.
The model hit the Met Gala red carpet in a Gucci gown and cape by Demna, inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera. “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 show, we had a conversation about what I wanted, and he was really, really receptive to making it happen.”

While the Renaissance tableau isn’t short on fashion inspiration, Demna zeroed in on one element: the far right scene in 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 involved a metamorphosis of its own.
Consani hit the carpet in a white faille cape, which, when removed, unveiled a dramatic gown, the nude tulle bustier, skirt, and train covered in feathers. “The best way to describe it is white swan to black swan,” she says of the reveal.
