It’s all well and good for A-listers to wear bespoke looks (from the hottest designers of the moment, obviously) for The Met’s red carpet. And while this year’s dress code, The Garden of Time, is bound to bring some jaw-dropping and floral-centric ideas to the iconic steps of the Met, how can you interpret the theme at home—and with only vintage clothing? Vogue’s Market Editor Naomi Elizée is here to show you how!
