Met Gala theme- America- a lexicon of fashion The celebs- well...time to go old Hollywood.

The irony that everyone that Rihanna wasn't serving her look for this year, but after hearing this IT SEEMS SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO TRULY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT AFTER ALL

I want him to tell us about every piece! So interesting and beautiful

Too bad like almost no one incorporated this concept into the dress theme of the gala because it would have been fascinating. There were of course exceptions… but not many.

This what the Met Ball is all about....the history and exquisite fashion!

My favourite piece in the whole video was the sweet and simple Claire McCardell wrap dress...its sheer perfection was in its simplicity.

The exhibition looks extensive and amazing, a tribute to the humble, the vernacular, and practical innovation. it’s quite staggering that most of the celeb+designer pairs couldn’t conceive of interesting or historical ways to respond to theme. Not everything is about glamour. Would have loved to see more workwear.

Tumbling block is my favorite pattern. Diane von Furstenburg is a design genuis.

Spectacular Collection and superlative Presentation !!! Bravo #theMet. Very informative & such a unique Collection of designers!!! I definitely got the sense.of history and emotion here !!!!👏👏👏👔♥️🩱👏👏👏

Ummmmm no, the celebrities get invited by Anna Wintour and the team planning the Met Gala.

It's too bad that few people actually got the assignment right at the Gala this year....

I viewed the exhibit last week. It' was inspiring, but I'm truly baffled why CFDA-recognized Natalie Chanin (Alabama Chanin) was not included in your exhibition. She's revolutionized the eco-design world.

Thank you for this video! I wish I could be there to see it :)

Amazing exhibit!!!

For anyone wondering about the celebs outfits, remember that a lot of celebs are invited to be there, and they are strongly suggested on what to wear by the fashion houses, unless they are able to create a custom piece. Most garments are off a runway, which has nothing to do with the theme.

Thank you.

Andrew Bolton is such an insightful eloquent man

absolutely stunning video

This is an amazing showcase

I've been waiting for this!!!

L’exposition donne l’impression d'être grandiose ! Bravo 👏🏻 En espérant qu’il existe une visite virtuelle ?

thank you

It’s sad & frustrating that celebs attending the MET are not doing the assignment right. The main idea of the MET is being thrown out of the window. People need to know it’s about the Art, History & fashion curated to showcase for people to learn & think.

I feel this but also Anna Wintour is the person who approves all the outfits so I feel like it’s less about the celebrities. They don’t really have much choice.

Wow I never knew about the work of Patrick Kelly before! I love it!

I could watch that for hours

I was waiting for someone to wear a quilted garment, or a cute wrap dress.. didn’t see it :( I swear I wish the celebrities would have embodied more of this theme than whatever they thought of. A cheerleader outfit? Like how cute would that have been?!

That Réunion dress is so amazing

wow, there was so many pieces I wanted to see more of that didn't get to be covered, that denim suit with the doily lace at 9:03 especially I'd love to know more about. The theme was a lot deeper and more intricate that I thought at first

That Connor Ives piece is so amazing and beautiful

This is so much more wonderful and inspiring than I was anticipating based off the name of the theme. It turned out so well!

That tumbling block patchwork is everything. This exhibition is so well curated. Really wish I could see it in real life.

Ty! Kiss.

Andrew Bolton is married to designer Thom Browne, most interestingly.

Love the inclusion of Patrick Kelly. DVF 💋 I was very happy to own a Perry Ellis coat.

Theme: In America Celeb: wears Chanel

Nice

I would love to see the knitwear in person

Forte coerência,,,

Great annotation !!! But did Andrew just said sequence instead of sequins? 😜🙏🏽❤

These videos need to come out BEFORE the gala, because these celebs butcher the theme year after year. 🙃

Will this exhibition of fashion, tour to Washington DC at the National Gallery of Art.

I DARE BOLTON to really include culture the real america the native indians w/in its collection what we're seem to be getting are his cognitive diarrhea!!! fashion should be fun and relatable this is just fluffing his ego!

I think you give people too little credit that they would not understand or resonate with these pieces and the exhibition. I understand what you mean and I get that some of the most notable exhibitions may have been "more obvious" and "less conceptual" but I think each exhibit has its own merit. Each exhibit has its own story to tell and dismissing it would be just ignorant. Fashion is and should be diverse and why shouldn't the Costume Institute explore "more conceptual" and "less obvious" themes or subject matter. Instead of complaining, I think you should just be grateful that you are able to see and appreciate designs and pieces you will never get a chance to see again. I think the exhibit is relatable and is resonant if you view it with no biases. I think you are the one not letting go of your ego refusing to accept learn and appreciate what beauty and stories the most recent exhibitions have to tell.

A mask in an empty gallery??????????????? Can't watch.

Please, no mask

Most of these costumes are ridiculous.

Every mannequin is white. Every one of them. Whether it “goes” with the style of background or not, the fact that every one is white says the designers of this still don’t get it. Even mannequin representation matters because it’s marketing.

Sorry Andrew .... but this is one very very boring exhibition since forever. No matter how deep and complex ideas you want to display here, at the end of the day it's about the fantasy dresses people wanna see. I wouldnt waste my time to go see for sure .... see u next year.

@ddq27

Your comment is the exact reason why this exhibition is so important. These "Fantasy Dresses" you are talking about are only one part of the fashion narrative and honestly haven't there been enough exhibitions about it already? The Costume institute aims to give the public a chance to view fashion with more critical thought and in turn have a deeper understanding of fashion that resonates more than the clothes or objects themselves. If you just want to see "fantasy dresses" go to a costume store or Disneyland where you can daydream all you want. A museum and a curated exhibit is a space made for people who want to learn, think, and be enriched by stories and narratives they have yet to discover.

Ok so why do the celebrities that attend The Met Gala constantly not follow the theme?!? There👏🏼is👏🏼literally👏🏼an👏🏼exhibition👏🏼showing👏🏼you👏🏼what👏🏼to👏🏼wear👏🏼!
