copying a classic look at the Met Gala.Social media users were pointing fingers at Ralph Lauren, angrily alleging that the designer ripped off the idea of Alicia Keys’ New York skyscraper cape from fellow high-fashion designer Zang Toi.Toi, the go-to designer favored by the fashionable society set, showed a white couture silk gazar floor-length cape with black hand-beaded New York skyscrapers in February 2020 during his Fall/Winter 2020 runway show at New York Fashion Week — much like Lauren’s design for the 2022 Met Gala.“My cape was inspired by my love for my adopted home, New York City,” Toi told The Post, noting his inbox has been flooded with fashion lovers pointing out the similarities to his original design. “I came here 41 years ago with $300 to study at Parsons School of Design and I wanted to show my love and appreciation for the city that embraced me — and allowed me to live the American Dream.”In fact, Toi debuted his black-and-white skyscraper cape many years ago during his Spring 2009 collection — later worn by Ling Tan at the 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards.“I decided to bring the iconic hand-beaded New York skyline cape out of the archive — timeless beauty never goes out of style — to pay tribute to my favorite city at my 2020 ‘New York, New York’ runway show,” he told The Post, which was attended by former mayor Rudy Giuliani.Eagle-eyed fashionistas couldn’t help but point out that it seems Lauren may have lifted the idea from the Malaysia-born designer’s “New York, New York” collection, which included a cape with similar NYC embellishments.“They copied Zang because they know Zang is the most creative unparalleled fashion designer,” one fan said.

03.05.2022 - 02:53 / nypost.com
dying to go” to the Met Gala “for years,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams finally got his wish.Adams, 61, arrived on the red carpet wearing a statement suit, making a political splash on the red carpet alongside girlfriend Tracey Collins. He donned a coat with decorative forearms and lapels that paid homage to the MTA in addition to the back of his coat, which read “END GUN VIOLENCE” in bold red letters.Adams’ move to make a political statement on the red carpet follows Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wore a gown last year that read “TAX THE RICH.”His look was also complete with a fresh pedicure, which he debuted on Twitter.
His Monday appointment confirmed his appearance on one of celebrity fashion’s biggest nights after some speculation.Known for his keen sense of fashion, Adams has kept up his style while serving as mayor, most notably his custom suits from the high-end Mohan Custom Tailors, which ring in at $2,000 apiece.And he’s no stranger to the fashion-forward life, having attended New York Fashion Week in February — seated next to Anna Wintour, no less. He’s also chummy with Naomi Campbell and Jon Batiste, and has been pictured with Cara Delevingne and A$AP Rocky.Despite the life of seeming glitz, glamor and luxury, lawyer and lobbyist Brad Gerstman, who listed Adams on his Best Dressed Politicians roundup, said the mayor isn’t allowed to accept clothes for free or discounted — including for the Met Gala.Known now as the mayor of nightlife in the Big Apple, the Met Gala won’t be his first rodeo — and probably not his last — after appearing at other star-studded events, such as the opening night of “The Music Man” on Broadway earlier this year.See all the celebrity looks from Met Gala 2022 with Page Six Style’s live
