The word opulent has appeared in 124 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on April 27 in “A Glamorous Masked Ball, and 100 People to Know” by Katie Van Syckle:
The Met Gala, which will be held next week, serves as the unofficial birthday party for Vogue magazine. The outfits at Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World gala, held last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center, generally don’t involve as much forethought, but it is nevertheless an opulent affair. Many of the people on the list attended, and the sparkles were plentiful this year.
Jennifer Coolidge, who hosted the event, was decked out in a black, beaded Balmain dress. She mingled with Steven Spielberg, who was honored at the seated dinner. Tiffany Haddish wore a red and black sequined gown and Natasha Lyonne was in a black Area dress with a bedazzled oyster bodice. The night featured performances from Doja Cat and Lea Michelle.
