Met Gala From the Notes App
super serious thoughts from a super serious fashion girlie
That was clickbait- I may be a fashion girlie, but Super Serious I am not. So by serious thoughts I mean unserious. Hope you enjoy!
This First Monday in May was spent with friends, making summer mood boards, drinking vodka-infused lemonade, and judging every Met Gala look we came across. Obviously.
The theme for this year was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and the dress code was “Tailored for You.” I was pleasantly surprised to see more following the dress code than I thought, though, like every year, there were some misses. (We won’t even go into the Rosa Parks underwear situation)
I’m focusing mainly on my favorites, which I’ll be calling the Slays, but we also have some Mmkays.
The Slays
One of the best dressed has to go to Laura Harrier wearing Gap Studio by Zac Posen. Even though the rest of it is flowy, the suiting part is very tailored and everything just flows well together. No notes, honestly.
I thought I was hallucinating at first because I was like. Rhianna’s pregnant? Again? But yes she is and what better way to announce it than on the Met Gala carpet? And honestly, she can wear whatever she wants and make it look good.
At first I was a little underwhelmed with Zendaya’s look, but the more I study it the more I appreciate it. It’s insanely tailored. And the hat. I saw someone say it’s what Blake Lively thinks she’s doing and so true.
Cardi B just looks so good in green. That’s it, that’s all.
On the surface this is kind of meh? But it’s not totally a miss because the skirt is beautiful, the look is very tailored, and the necklace reminds me of the titanic necklace. Love you, Anne!
The last time Diana Ross attended the Met Gala was 2003, and her return was so worth the wait. Look at this. It took five men to carry that train, and stitched inside it are the names of her children & grandchildren. Like????
AND THE HAT! Just all of it, actually.
Coco Jones! The pants made of pearls. SO GOOD.
I have nothing to say except Lupita, you’ve done it again!!
Obsessed with the baby blue.
The Mmkays
Listennnn I love my girl Sabrina, and objectively, as a whole, this look is good. However, I also think it’s kind of underwhelming for the theme. Like it’s very much giving her tour costumes. I don’t know, I have mixed feelings because yeah I do like it but I also don’t. I contain multitudes, okay!!
Shoutout to Larisa for saying this gave HVAC/ a rolly poly. Great imagery. Love you Lorde, but no.
Go girl, give us nothing!
But for real, her stylist read the theme and said oh okay, a plain fitted blazer. Got it.
Oh boy I know there are more, so many more but we gotta cut it off at some point, right?
Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts!
stay hot & weird,
kaeleen <3
I enjoyed the commentary, Kaeleen! I gobbled up the reviews, snark and gushes (I'm particular to Go Fug Yourself for comprehensive looks at all the lewks). I loved Zendaya's gorgeous suit but to be honest, I expected more from her and Law.
Thanks so much for the fun round-up!
So true... Sabrina's outfit was giving her tour outfits like girl it's the same old same old😂😭i was hoping to see Teyana Taylor here coz she killed it, and Doechii as mmkaay
