Christine Baranski knows how to make a statement on the red carpet, and she did just that at the Metropolitan Opera Opening Night Gala for ‘Grounded’ in New York City last night.
After the rave reviews she garnered for her Oscar de la Renta look at the Emmys, it’s no surprise she returned to the designer for yet another breathtaking moment. And let me tell you, lightning has indeed struck twice.
This time, Christine graced the red carpet in a stunning white off-the-shoulder gown that oozed sophistication. The design was everything you’d expect from Oscar de la Renta—elegant, timeless, and expertly tailored to Christine’s statuesque frame. It’s the kind of dress that commands attention without trying too hard, proving that sometimes simplicity is the most powerful fashion statement.
But what truly elevated this look were the accessories. Christine’s Wing & Weft opera gloves were a pitch-perfect choice for the evening, especially considering the venue. If there’s ever a place to lean into Old Hollywood glamour, it’s at the opera, and Christine did just that, pairing the gloves with a selection of dazzling Fred Leighton jewels. Her ability to channel classic elegance while keeping it modern is what makes her such a red carpet favourite.
I’m not the biggest fan of the style of clutch, but her Roger Vivier black accessories didn’t detract from the overall look.
If you’re curious about the back of the dress (because who isn’t?), take a peek at her stylist Cristina Ehrlich’s Instagram. The gown features a v-bow-accented back that cascades into a sweeping train, adding that extra layer of drama we all love from a red carpet moment.
