RDP Tuesday: luxurious

Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
 to get creative with the word “luxurious”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.

Did y’all happen to see this? A photo popped up the other day while I was watching YouTube. I tried, but I couldn’t look away! Some called the look “luxurious”; that wasn’t the adjective that came to my mind.

Whoopi Goldberg stepped out for the 2025 Met Gala in New York City in a suit-dress by Thom Browne. Over her custom black duchess satin raglan-sleeve dress she wore a white fur, bouclé and sequin off-the-shoulder coat with lacing detail down the center front and back, a top hat in wool bouclé from the Thom Browne fall 2015 archive collection and longwing boots in black and white patent leather.

The View co-host sported a unique accessory – gold finger caps by L’Enchanteur – who also designed her gold link chain and keyhole brooch with black opal and blue and white diamonds, as well as rings of green tourmaline, diamonds, tanzanite, garnet and purple sapphire. The look was customized with a whopping 350,000 matte white sequins and took over 7,700 hours to make.
