The Met Gala took place on May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, celebrating the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition.

OMEGA Brand Ambassadors Nicole Kidman and Colman Domingo attended the Met Gala, accompanied by actors Tom Francis, Dónal Finn, and Connor Storrie.

Nicole Kidman wore a 23 mm OMEGA Constellation “Manhattan” from 1982. Made of 18K white and yellow gold, it features 34 diamonds on the bezel, 178 on the bracelet, and 12 as hour markers.
Connor Storrie wore the OMEGA Constellation “Observatory,” which features a 39.4 mm case made of 18K Moonshine gold.

The event marked the opening of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, titled “Costume Art,” and featured a dress code of “Fashion is Art.”

Tom Francis wore the OMEGA Constellation “Observatory” in 39.4 mm Canopus Gold with a blue leather strap.
Dónal Finn wore the OMEGA Constellation “Observatory” in 39.4 mm O-MEGASTEEL on a green leather strap with a green dial.
Colman Domingo wore a vintage 33 mm OMEGA Constellation “Manhattan” watch in stainless steel and 18K yellow gold with a black dial.

Each of the OMEGA guests chose pieces from the Constellation collection, with the two Ambassadors wearing vintage Manhattans from the 1982 archive. These timepieces are characterized by half-moon facets at each end of the case and by four screwed claws that secure the sapphire crystal.
