Get the Look: Met Gala Dresses 2022
It’s safe to say we’re still obsessing over last week’s Met Gala red carpet. Arguably the most prestigious night in fashion, The Gilded Age theme offered red carpet styles dripping with beading, sequins, and plenty of excess. And whether it took the form of a breezy neon pink gown a la Nicola Peltz Beckham or Marilyn Monroe’s infamous crystallized Happy Birthday Mr. President dress (donned by the one and only Kim K), the red carpet fashion did not disappoint.
Here at Camille La Vie, we know the value of a red carpet moment, from the Oscars to your own prom night. And let’s be honest – it all starts with an unforgettable dress. Ready to have your own best dressed moment? (We know you are!) Scroll below for our top look-alike styles from the 2022 Met Gala, pulled straight from the Camille La Vie collection.

Channel Your Inner Princess with a Ballgown Prom Dress
Unless you’re a lover of the limelight, a ballgown prom dress can be intimidating. Its grand, full skirt feels ideal for a fancy night out, but girls with a more minimalist fashion sense may be reluctant to try this lavish silhouette. But as they say in fashion and in life, you’ll never know unless you try! If you’re still in the running for finding that perfect prom dress and have debated on wearing a ballgown before, slip one on during your next round of prom shopping. Who knows; it could be love at first fit!
With its full skirt and figure-hugging bodice, a ball gown style works for all body types, especially if you’re tall, as the grand shape balances out a long frame. But petites, have no fear! Ballgowns are flattering for you too; just look for an A-line style with a skirt that’s not as full. The Camille La Vie collection offers a range of beautiful ballgown prom dresses that give off that “I just stepped out of a fairytale” vibe.
Ready for a happily ever after evening (and plenty of twirl-worthy Boomerangs?) Explore stunning styles in both shiny satin and ballerina-esque tulle, with a variety of gorgeous necklines like strapless, spaghetti strap, illusion, and more flattering cuts. And we know you’ll fall in love with the pretty embellishments; find luxe beading, chic applique, and rich embroidery, among other standout details. Whether you’re a limelight-loving princess or prefer to look chic on the sidelines, browse a variety of ballgown prom dresses that are made for an unforgettable evening.

Leg Slit Evening Dresses That Channel Your Inner Celebrity
Side cutouts. A plunging neckline. An open back. There’s plenty of flirty ways to show skin when dressing to the nines, but there’s just something about a thigh-high leg slit that just exudes red carpet glamour. From Angelina’s famed Oscars dress to basically every Kendall gown, showing off your stems is basically a mainstay in the world of formal wear. Ready to strut your stuff this summer? We pulled 10 long prom dresses that are a cut above the rest (see what we did there?) Scroll below so you, too, can have your red carpet moment. Killer pair of heels optional. 
Whether it’s spring, winter, summer, or fall, a leg slit dress universally suits any season, making any of these styles perfect for an upcoming RSVP…and again for a glitzy holiday party. Leg slits serve a dual purpose of posh and practical; a pop of leg makes maneuvering around the room (and dance floor!) a breeze due to its non-constricting silhouette. 
A thigh-baring look is daring on its own, so scope out dresses with more modest necklines. Get set to stun in a mod halter neckline style, or go for a sequin v-neck for an extra dose of luxe. Want to be on-point with one of the hottest trends? Then a lace corset dress is your black tie go-to. Slip it on and the night is yours. Find more evening dresses with leg slits for weddings, formals, or wherever the invites take you on CLV.com. Xo, Camille

Spring Silhouettes: Evening Dresses for Your Next RSVP
When shopping for an evening dress, there’s a few factors that determine the look you choose, depending on your personal style. The color. A lot (or a few) embellishments. The neckline. But what about the silhouette? The shape of a dress can dramatically enhance your appearance for a flattering finish. When you keep your body type in mind and what you’d like to highlight, it can make all the difference in how you feel inside and out! Scroll below for 4 of the most popular evening dress silhouettes and how to navigate between each.
Ballgown
Shop: Off the Shoulder Placement Embroidered Tulle Ballgown
A full skirt not only adds drama to your look, but puts more attention on your upper half; specifically your arms and shoulders with this enchanting look. If your style falls more into the “girlie girl” category, then a ballgown evening dress is perfect for you, whether it’s for prom, a gala, or fancy wedding.
Column
Shop: Floral Embroidered Dress with Cap Sleeves
If a ballgown brings the drama, a column silhouette is just the opposite: fitted to the body without any additional flair. But don’t let the minimal silhouette fool you; a tighter fit gives curves the limelight, great for highlighting an hourglass shape. This floral embroidered evening dress is elegant, yet demure, gorgeous for that spring wedding on your calendar.
A-Line
Shop: Metallic Knit Lace Up Back Dress
In between a ballgown and fitted look, an A-line evening dress is a classic choice that works for any formal event. This style is universally flattering on all body types, and puts the waist and upper body on display. Level up with a leg slit to elevate the flirt factor, like this on metallic lace-up dress.
Mermaid
Shop: Tank Illusion Plunge Mermaid Horsehair Dress
Chances are you’re familiar with a mermaid dress, which draws in at the knees similar to a mermaid’s tail. Whether you’re looking to enhance or create an hourglass shape, this look is your fashion ticket. Own any evening in this beautiful plunging style and let the compliments roll (because trust, they will).

Shop: Ombre Sequin Dress
What is a gala?
A gala is a formal evening party usually held in honor of a charity, auction, or other type of fundraiser. It may include dinner and another form of entertainment, like dancing.
Shop: Flower Glitter A-Line Dress with Lace Cleo Neckline
What’s the dress code?
A gala usually calls for a lavish dress code; white tie or black tie attire is typical of these events. A long evening dress, heels, and your fanciest jewelry apply here; so feel free to get super decked out! Need some ideas? All of the dresses featured here are perfect for a gala.
Shop: Deco Beaded Tiered Organza Ballgown
A glamorous ballgown or heavily beaded dress is elegant, yet appropriate. Try to stick to deep shades or neutral colors, like black, silver, navy and gold. And don’t shy away from embellishments; a pretty beaded or applique bodice with illusion add some interest for a picture-perfect ensemble.
As the last touches, pull hair into a chic updo or go for big curls for an old Hollywood glam finish. Don’t forget to grab a cute clutch before you dash out the door; browse some options here!
