celebrities that don’t follow the met gala theme automatically go to the top of my guillotine list. like you have one job. you are literally glorified court jesters. you only exist to entertain us. and you can’t even do that; instead you wear some boring ass black tux to the one event i actually want you to flaunt your wealth. what are you doing
I hate but also kind of love how tasteless, disappointing and just in it for the money the guests at the Met Gala are each year because it 100% affirms my view of celebrities. A young woman shivering with the stress of a thousand suns approaches them and asks: “So, Ms Billion Dollars what did you do to honor tonight’s theme of the Gilded Age which was a time of economic inequality and rapid industrial progression that changed the world as we know it and is actually a time very much like ours?” and they, without a shred of embarrassment, reply “This dress is Gucci"

What Sebastian Stan wore at the 2022 edition of the Met Gala is not exactly what I expected for a Gilded Age themed event. Let’s say I had in mind something closer to the artworks above but that’s just me (I’m happy he had fun in his pink outfit that night, though )
I actually hate the met gala bc it’s full of ostentatiously rich ppl with actual Stylists and yet they fail year after year after year to rise to the occasion. like the thrift girlies with a 30 dollar budget and a sewing needle could come up w something better (or at least more on theme)
Happy Birthday, Lee Pace! Welcome to another Messed Up Friday! Finally do his Met Gala suit. I have no fashion taste, all I want is boobs and legs. Sorry.
P.s. god knows where’s the cute wholesome family friendly fan artist has gone. From Thranduil taking care of baby Legolas to this…..insane
This isn’t to say other looks weren’t on theme, but these were ones that I liked becausethey were on theme.
From top to bottom, in no particular ranking:
Blake Lively
She put so much thought into all of the references in this look. It actually wasn’t my favorite look based on appearances, but I give it top marks for the effort and the research. The transformation was cool, but the video is actually underwhelming it plays out better in stills.
Natasha Poonawalla
I saw a flash of this on TV and then spent all night trying to figure out who it was. Definitely fits “gilded glamor” theme, and I love the combination of a Schiaparelli corset over a couture sari.
Nicola Coughlan
This is the kind of gilded age drama I was hoping for last night! Sleeves, feathers, corset, trains! I kind of wish she had worn her hair up but down is a more modern interpretation
Anitta
I love the off the shoulder with the pearls draped through it, it reminds me of the over-the-top accessorizing in old portraits. The peplum is a bit more cinderella than gilded age, but I’ll take it
Stephen Jones and Amy Fine Collins
The only people here who looked like they could have been in a period piece. They knew what they were doing and had fun with it
Lizzo
I’m more focused on the gorgeously embroidered house coat/cape which screams gilded age opulence to me, though I do appreciate the corset underneath. Also, she brought her FLUTE. It was criminally underrated on the broadcast last night.
Katy Perry
Initially I didn’t love it, but then I saw it from another angle and totally got the gilded age inspiration. The silhouette, bustle, draping, and train all fit the theme, in a more modern way. Even the white mini skirt underneath is reminiscent of a petticoat. I just wish she had done better styling
Taylor Hill
Super surprised here, since Taylor usually goes for the “off theme pretty model” look. The off the shoulder neckline with big flowers reminds me of some 1800′s dresses, as do the boots with all the tiny buttons. It’s not shown here, but the embroidered train is truly show stopping
Laura Harrier
It’s glamorous. It has a fancy, shiny print I could totally see in the era. Is the silhouette a little pre-gilded age to me? Yeah but I love it.
Julia Carey
Focusing on her, and her alone, this was probably the most on theme look to me all night. It’s got everything: lace, velvet, a corset, puffy shoulders with longs sleeves. It’s perfect.
