At the 2015 Met Gala, Philip Treacy created Sarah Jessica Parker’s black-and-orange headpiece.
Parker wore the dramatic headpiece at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2015 Costume Institute Gala, whose theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass.” Her black H&M gown was paired with an elaborate sculptural headpiece decorated with orange flame-like forms.
The headpiece was designed by Philip Treacy, the Irish milliner celebrated for highly sculptural hats worn by royalty, musicians, and actors. Its bold silhouette quickly became one of the most photographed accessories of the evening.
This look is easy to confuse with Parker’s 2013 Met Gala appearance, when she wore a mohawk-like headdress by another designer. The 2015 headpiece is specifically linked to Treacy, while the gown itself was a separate H&M design. The distinction matters because the question asks about the accessory rather than the dress.
