“I’m the first trans woman hosting the Met, so this is a big moment.”
So said supermodel Alex Consani while speaking to La La Anthony during the Vogue livestream at Monday night’s Met Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Consani made the most of her historic moment as the first trans co-chair by hitting the beige carpet in a Gucci gown and white faille cape by the house’s creative director Demna, who was reportedly inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera.
Consani stepped out on the carpet, draped in the luxe cape that exposed bare shoulders. In a dramatic moment, Consani then removed the cape to reveal a sheer nude bustier (that exposed her breasts) paired with a skirt and train covered in black feathers.

In an interview with Vogue, Consani said that she sent Denma some references for the Gucci look and they talked a bit about how they both wanted it to feel. “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,” she said. “I instantly felt like a different bitch — I feel like I’m Natalie Portman, a little mix of Tilda Swinton. I think that there’s just an actress energy that it puts me in.”
She talked about that energy during the livestream by telling Anthony that the ensemble was a “culmination” of feathers, tinsel, “good energy and good vibes.” Asked how she is able to be her “unapologetic” self by Anthony, Consani said the key is keeping good people close — and a good heel.
“I have a lot of support at home. I have a lot of support with my friends that I’ve made an important part of my life,” she said. “That’s what it’s about, making sure you surround yourself with people that love you. And also, like, put on a heel. No shade. Put on a heel. It does a lot. Y’all will be surprised. The girls that are walking around in loafers and they’re like, ‘Why am I not feeling it?’ Put on a heel, babe.”
