Talking about the dress she told Vouge that designer Altuzarra's handwriting was used to write the names of the renowned women of American history. The names were then hand-embroidered onto the maroon gown.

Notably, this marked her return to the Met Gala after 21 years. The last time she walked the steps was in 2001. At the time, she paid tribute to Jackie Kennedy's time as First Lady. At the red carpet, she interacted with journalist Hamish Bowles and "promised" she'd only come "every 20 years."

While talking to Vanessa Hudgens and Bowles on the red carpet, Clinton said, "I think we're all happy to be back together, supporting the museum and the costume institute and also celebrating America. Not just fashion of America, but really the spirit of America."
