Having pored over the fashion statements made at this week’s Met Gala, we look to the wrists of stars at the Garden of Time-themed event and notice a satisfying willingness to show off an eclectic range of vintage and modern pieces.
There was a steer in the theme. Some celebrities went the ‘garden’ route, others chose ‘time’ as their inspiration.
Barry Keoghan arguably nailed both with what looked like an homage to both Oliver Twist and the White Rabbit of Alice in Wonderland, all accessorised with a pocket watch and a vintage Omega De Ville Prestige, arguably made for ladies, which he wore on the outside of his cuff for extra brand ambassador points.

Gender neutrality was another theme of the night so, while Mr Keoghan accessorised with a ladies’ Omega, tennis ace Serena Williams went for a full size Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Skeleton three-hander in rose gold, which she was kind enough to wear on the outside of her long black gloves.

Chris Hemsworth arrived at the Met Gala with his wife Elsa Pataky and matched her golden jewellery accessories with an all-gold Chopard Alpine Eagle watch.

Pre-Loved Prevails
Fashion was “reawakened” on Monday night and in celebration of the “garden of time” aesthetic, host La La Anthony and actor Madelyn Cline wore eBay-sourced, pre-loved luxury accessories on the red carpet, underscoring it as the global destination for pre-loved and luxury goods. In partnership with Vogue, eBay is the first global fashion destination, for pre-loved and luxury goods, to be called out at fashion’s biggest night.
Paying homage to archival fashion, the red carpet celebrated all eras of style. Madelyn’s look included eBay sourced, pre-loved accessories complimenting her haute couture Tommy Hilfiger dress like Mikimoto diamond and pearl earrings, Movado watch and Tommy Hilfiger bag, sourced through eBay and upcycled by Tommy Hilfiger. Host La La Anthony chose vintage and rare finds, clad in eBay sourced, pre-loved rings including a David Yurman Amethyst Ring and carrying a Judith Leiber Rose Bag.
eBay’s red carpet debut nods to its continued dedication to championing the circular economy while making it easy for shoppers to participate in circular fashion. The appearances also marked the launch of eBay’s ‘Eternal Eras’ campaign, in partnership with Vogue, celebrating eBay’s unrivaled selection of pre-loved and luxury fashion spanning decades past – to today.
eBay continues to integrate its pre-loved selection into the forefront of fashion and culture through partnerships including dressing Ice Spice for last year’s after party and outfitting the cast of Love Island UK.
Following Monday night’s celebration, pre-loved enthusiasts can now shop curated eBay storefronts, featuring Madelyn and La La’s favorite fashion items from past style eras all available in eBay’s endless inventory of pre-loved fashion.
