Valentino, Rachel McAdams’ Dress at the Met Gala (2016)
“For the 2016 Met Gala on Monday evening, the 37-year-old Canadian actress donned an ornate Valentino gown, complete with lines from Dante’s Divine Comedy embellished on the skirt.” —Madelyn Chung, “Rachel McAdams’ Met Gala 2016 Dress Is A Golden Dream,” HuffPost (May 3, 2016)
The quotation, which swirls around the front and back of the dress, draws from Francesca’s speech in Inferno 5.
