It’s an honor to return to the Met Gala, Lovato tellsVogue.

Prabal and I came together on a look he designed that contrasts strength with fragility, says Lovato.

The flowers are soft and feminine, yet with a hard futuristic edge, says Gurung.

This is a gown that encompasses the complexities of her as an artist.

Gurungs use of sharp, shimmery embellishments pointed back to the evenings garden of time dress code.

I wanted to lean into the idea of preserving something that stands the test of time, says Gurung.

While I only met him earlier this year, we are already texting like old friends.
