I know y’all think Ryan clowned next to Blake but let me just say
I will argue that he was just as if not more on theme than her. He’s so far one of only a few men to actually wear a period appropriate suit that is to the dress code required!!
White tie events are the most formal events in Western/British culture and you bet ur ass the Met Gala is a white tie event— yet men rarely dress to this level because it isn’t what the general public wants or is aware of.
Not only that but his suit is mid-gilded age. The styling of the waistcoat with the pocket watch, the lapel and shoulder cut, the only modern aspects of it are the collar of his shirt and the lack of buttons on his jacket (but then again he’s allowed some personal taste).
In accordance with white tie formal, his suit is black but the material adds even more glamour, black velvet. Most men do just the front of the jacket and some silk or wool on the back/lapel with maybe their pants being the same (often cheaper). But his WHOLE SUIT is black velvet. Of course this prevents a nice front pleat that’s common in white tie suits, but due to the luxurious nature of velvet it is worth it because it comes off as even more extravagant and tasteful, a seamless transition from top to bottom (which a lot of suits struggle with)
And finally, a semi gloss black saddle boot with a tasteful gold wrist watch add enough luxury in a whispering way— making a lovely contrast to Blakes outfit.
He’s not dressed in competition with her, but rather in compliment. His suit is a warm black, which works beautifully with Blake’s color pallet, and the way velvet reflects light prevents any unwanted reflective shimmers from Blake so every photo together will look good and flattering. He’s her arm candy, in a way, by being well-dressed and complimentary without demanding equal attention. Because Blake lively is known for her Met Gala looks, and that is clearly important to her, so he supports her enthusiasm by simply being a perfect pair.
i kind of don’t know where Blake Lively went after the end of Gossip Girl & the bomb that was Savages. but IMO, this is the best she’s ever looked to me for some reason. i’ve never been a fan of hers, but i’m into her on this red carpet.
With the first Monday in May comes The Met Gala. This year’s theme is the second part of 2021’s theme IN AMERICA. The first year was the Lexicon of Fashion, this year’s theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” had a mission statement of celebrating the “ storytelling and a historical context (of fashion), starting with the development of American fashion in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the emergence of an identifiable American style and the rise of the name designer.” The dress code was "gilded glamour and white tie.”
This year’s chairs were Anna Wintour, Tom Ford as honorary chair and official co-chairs Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Regina King (who did not attend).
Of course nearly everyone just did whatever the hell they wanted to do.
Like Conan Gray
Like the cast and creative behind the upcoming film ELVIS, all clad in Prada.
Costume designer Catherine Martin, Alton Mason Kelvin Harrison Jr, Olivia DeJonge, Austin Butler, Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley, Jerry Schilling, Kacey Musgraves who has a song on the soundtrack and Martin’s husband, director Baz Luhrmann.
Video games have generally had a fairly bad run when it comes to movie adaptations. Either they veer too far away from their source material and lose their gamer fans, or they lean too far into it and go over the heads of mainstream audiences. So when it was announced that they were making a live action adaptation of Nintendo’s video game Detective Pikachu, there was definitely an air of…
Fuckboy Deadpool stans: *identify with Deadpool as some sort of outlet of their insecure masculinity/heterosexuality and rebellion against “PC” culture*
Ryan Reynolds: *reaffirms Deadpool as pansexual literally every chance he gets, wants Deadpool to have a boyfriend in the film franchise, makes Deadpool act campy and effeminate as fuck in the movies, does a charity campaign for cancer where Deadpool dresses in pink and sits next to a pillow that literally says “feminist” on it, goes out of his way to hire a woman of color to portray the female lead in Deadpool 2, literally hires Celine Dion to write a Titanic-esque power ballad for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack and makes a music video where Deadpool prances around in high heels feeling his fantasy like the gayest gay that ever gayed*
Fuckboi Deadpool stans:
You gotta love Ryan Reynolds, because he truly was born to play this character.
He’s a canadian composed of snark. He basically is deadpool minus the tragic backstory
let’s be honest, Green Lantern was his tragic backstory
