Find the Perfect Clutch to Celebrate The Met Gala’s “China: Through The Looking Glass” Exhibit

 

If you are a serious follower of fashion news, then you know The Metropolitan Museum’s Anna Wintour Costume Center is set to focus on Chinese fashion aesthetics that have influenced Western styles over time.  Naturally, the Met Gala celebration last night was filled with celebrities adventurously dressing to fit the exhibition theme.

While some opted for neutrality, others left press and attendees speechless such as Rihanna with her majestic Guo Pei piece and Sarah Jessica Parker’s very avant garde headdress.

Though eye-catching, these pieces aren’t the most easily wearable options, so we found a way for fashion lovers to get into the Met Gala mood with these Chinese inspired designs. Simple and more subtle than the heavily ornate gowns of the celebrities above, these clutches are workable with your favorite street styles and great for adding a quick statement for a fun night out.
