Met Gala fashion, anyone?

That looked more hot pink/almost magenta on my tv last night, but here the color matching is much better. I like it!

I want to love it but I don’t understand the fitting on the bodice where the boobs are pushed down and smashed up like she’s getting a mammogram. That’s a very popular look lately so I guess it’s intentional, but I don’t get it.

I don't like that either- it looks like it doesn't fit, but surely it must be intentional?

It isn’t. Angela Bassett is not sacred to me, she was never owed an Oscar, and per her uzh, she’s looking big and having overspill in a corset with a post-Meno skin flap escaping. She’d have looked way better in a looser gown, with her hair pinned back like the woman in the referenced painting.

Beyoncé is an absolute mess. You can see her shape wear and the pooch. The dress looks like it’s unusually heavy even for costume. I wish she’d done something else, she is a gorgeous woman.

How much are they paying someone to keep Beyoncé on the front page for this sh*t? She belongs on worst dressed not best.

And can they stop with upselling their kid. Gross.

There's too much going on in the world for me to care about this anymore. They all look mentally ill, to be perfectly blunt.

I don't like Blake, but she looks great. She also dropped a few pounds.

It's the point. In recent weeks, she's had a series of high profile hit pieces criticizing her enjoyment of ill-gotten riches, and her penchant for cosmetic enhancements and sartorial get ups. This is her answer: I can be boring too. Except that the bosom will out and she couldn't resist the mermaid look.

I get what you're saying, but to me the antidote to those stories is to show up looking elegant and discreet. This look doesn't move her reputation forward at all.

Ha. This IS her version of elegant and discreet, PP. She is at heart a vulgar person, and her body is a little wide for the usual "slim elegance" looks. If she were to cover that bosom with a flowy top, she'd look fat. She's also very warm and kind-hearted in real life, BTW, so I don't want to be too mean. I don't mean vulgar in a moral sense, but in a visual sense. She just doesn't understand subtlety and restraint.

It's the Met Gala. It hasn't been about subtlety for years.

I'm a Lauren Bezos apologist. I really don't care that she has huge honkers and bad filler and likes being tacky. I'm with you, she seems warm and kind-hearted. I'm so over boring upper middle class people talking about "money screams, wealth whispers" and taking all of the fun out of socialites and celebrity gossip

Are you over preying on your neighbor's husband by being the fun neighbor who gives helicopter rides?

She looks good but I did not like that she did the same boring "I'm a sunny happy shiny princess!" thing. She could have gone for a pre-raphaelite look because it would suit her physically so well with her hair and height and be so romantic and still have drapery and color but also more drama.

And Kardashian rather than the same old unwalkable stiff minimalist outfit, I'd have loved to see in a Roy Lichtenstein inspired dress with mini dots and blue cartoon hair and red lips. She always picks the most serious looks and never something fun.

I heard they were cast from her actual arms

Is it too late to ask why people attended this? Did we already talk about that? Pretty tacky to attend.

I also hated this. It looks like he bought it at Ann Taylor. I think it's getting praised solely because he's extremely hot right now and also there's this knee jerk praise people do for any many who wears feminine clothes these days, no matter what the look actually is.

Stan Smith looked amazing in a sequined gown last night. This looks stupid though KUDOS to him and his trainer, his arms and shoulders are legitimately something special.

I read that the fake arms were based on her actual arms. I like it in theory but think it would be better if her actual arms and the fake arms matched more. When you can see where the fake arms are attached, it just looks weird. If they'd painted the arms to look truly like extra arms, that would have been cool.

I personally like going to the MET. This year's gala raised more money than ever for it. So do you mean as a knee jerk because Bezos sponsored it? Someone very rich, or their company, sponsors the gala yearly.

Beautiful and unique. I love ths shade of red.

I feel like this is channeling Nicole Kidman's famous 1997 Oscar dress, which itself could be called art:

I like this dress, the color and jewel strap especially. It's plain and chic. I think this is one of her best looks. The problem is that her figure is so cartoonish. She is not built like a model/mannequin! She doesn't have a lot of options with breasts that large. She is a real life Jessica Rabbit.

Trying to channel the John Singer Sargent portrait was a bad idea. She's not built *at all* like a Sargent model or the ideal of the time, so the dress looks cartoonish rather than elegant. Also, the hair is wrong for the look and so boring.

I don't like her, but let's be real - women shaped like her are never considered elegant. And that's not a slam on her, but a slam on a standard that she is not built for.
