With fashion’s biggest night knocking at every style enthusiast’s door, most of us tend to focus on the grandeur and extravagance that the Met Gala is all about. However, what often goes unnoticed are the simply chic outfits that may have missed the Met’s mark but are still brilliant fashion curations—perfect to repurpose for the girl next door’s office look. This is the time to ditch the Monday blues and celebrate your very own Met Monday right at the office.
6 Chic Office Looks Inspired By Met Gala Outfits
Take inspiration from these six Met Gala looks that embody versatility, simplicity, and grace—and turn heads as you strut down to your cabin this Met Monday.
Hailey Bieber’s Black Gown – Met 2021
Black, bold, and beautiful are the perfect three words to describe Hailey Bieber’s look from the 2021 Met Gala. Although the theme, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion", wasn’t perfectly captured by her outfit, Hailey made a strong fashion statement. She wore a strapless, floor-length black Saint Laurent gown featuring a plunging neckline and a mermaid-style silhouette, accessorised with a square-diamond Tiffany & Co. necklace and black sunglasses.
For the office, take inspiration from her sleek black look by opting for a black bodycon dress. It doesn’t have to be branded—you can easily find a similar option online. Just swap the plunging neckline for a round or high neckline for a more office-appropriate vibe. Style it with golden accessories and chunky Y2K bangles for a trendy touch. And if you manage to recreate Hailey’s signature latte makeup, you’ll be a perfect ten in the style department.
Priyanka Chopra’s Trench Coat Dress – Met 2017
Priyanka Chopra gave all office girlies major inspiration when she wore a custom Ralph Lauren trench coat dress at the 2017 Met Gala. The piece featured a thigh-high slit, a popped collar, and a structured silhouette, paired with metallic earrings, a messy topknot, and black heeled boots. The dramatic train was the standout feature—but not quite practical for the office.
Instead, opt for a nude or beige trench coat dress without the train. Pair it with a sleek messy bun and a subtle smokey eye to stay stylish from office hours straight into after-work drinks.
Kendall Jenner’s White Jumpsuit – Met 2018
At the 2018 Met Gala, Kendall Jenner stunned in a custom Off-White jumpsuit designed by the late Virgil Abloh. The design featured long, flowing pant legs resembling a train.
A white jumpsuit is a timeless, versatile piece perfect for the office. Instead of an off-shoulder style, choose a sleeveless or bishop-sleeve jumpsuit—or better yet, a crisp white power suit to channel pure boss energy.
Cara Delevingne’s Red Co-Ord Set – Met 2022
If you’re looking to make a bold statement, take notes from Cara Delevingne’s unforgettable 2022 Met Gala look. She arrived in a red suit jacket and tailored trousers before revealing a dramatic body-painted gold look underneath.
While the dramatic reveal is definitely not office-appropriate, you can easily replicate her confidence with a red buttoned-up co-ord set. If red heels feel too much for the office, switch them out for classic black pumps to balance the look.

Jenna Ortega’s Goth Corset Dress – Met 2023
If your office dress code feels like it’s stifling your goth soul, take inspiration from Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday-inspired Met Gala 2023 look. She wore a custom Thom Browne ensemble featuring a black corset top with side lacing, a white shirt-style collar, and a high-low ruffled skirt.
To make this work-appropriate, retain the corset detail but pair it with a structured black pencil skirt instead of a mini. It’s the perfect way to keep your edgy style intact while still looking polished.
Kim Kardashian’s Sheer White Dress – Met 2017
Nothing says understated elegance quite like Kim Kardashian’s white Vivienne Westwood gown from the 2017 Met Gala. Featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and minimal detailing, the look was a stunning display of simplicity.
Channel this energy with a ruched white bodycon dress featuring long sleeves for a more office-appropriate spin. Keep the accessories minimal and let the clean lines do the talking.
