Hot off the heels of her incredible Gucci gown at the Oscars, Jessica Chastain has continued her red carpet winning streak at the Met Gala in an oxblood gown and matching turban, all designed by Gucci. Of course.

The dress was a throwback to the early years of Hollywood glamour. If you’re familiar with the cinematic masterpiece Sunset Boulevard, you’ll immediately recognise the familiar style of main character Norma Desmond – a former silent movie star slowly going mad in her own wealthy isolation. Right down to the turban! The golden age of Hollywood has become an ongoing inspiration for Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele, and it’s the perfect aesthetic for the Met Gala’s Gilded Glamour theme.

Ornamenting the top half of the all-over sequin dress was the silhouette of a silver snake – a popular motif of the art deco era and one that has become a regular feature within the Gucci collections – which draped over the shoulder. Completing the outfit, Chastain paired the gown with jewellery from Gucci’s High Jewellery collection – 18kt white gold, pink spinels and diamonds plus a tiger head ring made from 18kt white gold that also sported several eye-popping rubies and diamonds.

One of the newest muses to join the Gucci family – alongside Jared Leto and Dakota Johnson – Chastain has also become a regular front row guest of the brand’s shows, most recently at their iconic Hollywood Boulevard show, Gucci Love Parade, that shut down the entire street for one evening.

With Gucci, she’s also had some of her greatest fashion moments with the Italian brand. At this year’s Academy Awards, the 45-year-old actress was resplendent in an iridescent purple and gold gown when she accepted the Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of American televangelist, Tammy Faye Bakker. Starring alongside Andrew Garfield, Chastain’s performance embodied the complex nature of the character who defied traditional Christian conservatism yet became embroiled in an embezzling scam from their followers.
