“Sweet Princess, if through this wicked witch’s trick, a spindle should your finger prick. A ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee.”
On the day of her birth Merryweather offered Aurora hope.
And on the night of the MET Gala metaphorically dedicated to the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty, (light) hope is the feeling that accompanied our viewing of the (live streaming) event.
The hope of seeing perfect looks that would make us dream, ideally transport us to a world of magical dreams (better than the one we are forced to exist in).
Hope (luckily) was not betrayed and we have selected the best looks (in our opinion), some Aurora and some Maleficent (to pay homage to the Disney story, the one from 1959).
