As I recall, the only one who got the "Gilt Age" correct was Blake Lively wearing Donatella Versace's absolutely inspirational, transformational gown. What a knock-out!

There were so many strange interpretations of that theme. I had a feeling most people didn’t check what it was really about

I am excited for the Met Gala it never get old to me

@@PinkLookbook Totally!!!! I also couldn’t see that in person but would’ve waited in line for it had it been possible. That show had it been possible I think would have traveled well if they wanted to go on tour to other museums, but I’m sure they didn’t want to let any of the pieces out of the museum because most museums don’t have a costume department I’m sure some have specialties in textiles, but they would’ve probably had to send staff with it so it was probably not conducive for the show to tour…. But that would’ve been amazing.

@@angelicaravenhilt661 I agree. I recently saw the Chanel exhibition which travelled from Paris to Australia, Tokyo and London. But I think you are right, it depends on the partner museums and their focus and institutes. I saw a documentary about China through the Looking Glass, that one looked great too

I can't wait to see Lilly Gladstone ❤️

Thanks so much for your very interesting talk on the Met Gala! Lots of interesting facts about its history and current embodiment. I love to see the looks on the Red Carpet! And I have to say I did love the Choupette costume!

Thanks for your lovely feedback! Really? Haha! My issue was less with the costume itself but that the media tend to only cover on the sensational outfits. Jared is a good actor though 🤓

I hope so too. I also think the issue is not only the themes but that the interpretation and the focus on the social media hype

The Met Gala is in decline because of reputation, the overall popularity is becoming mainstream. KK destroyed the Marilyn Monroe dress and well as the Met reputation. People dont go there for the theme and the quality of people who attend is in decline.

Id rather watch the met red carpet cause it is what it is, a photo op. We get to see celebs looking amazing and fun. Award shows, are all about a certain group of people's opinion, ass kissing, etc.

Agree about the red carpet, it is fun to watch

The lagerfield theme was awful. It looked like Wintour wanted to support it because it was a sell to corporations. Nothing is more corporate than lagerfield. The Marilyn dress was a terrible disaster, it did not even relate to the lagerfield theme. As for Anna Wintour, I think it’s time to retire. Time for someone who cares about the craft industries that went into making these garments.

@@PinkLookbook have not seen the complete version yet, just making notes on the theme to see if the celebrities followed the brief. Also want to see peoples viewpoints before looking. I’m not happy with some of them who did not make an effort or sold out to flogging brands. Did see the none effort of Chris Hemsworth and some of the other Mens outfits. Lots of them did not bother and the rich think that they are too good for the theme.

@@PinkLookbook They need to get with the theme, a lot of social media is starting to look at what they do. Just flogging brands and junk we don’t need, is not doing so well. Some influencers are making there own outfits and doing a great job on their creations. The purpose of the Met Museum is to take care of garments made by ordinary folk. I wonder do these celebrities realise that the bread and butter of what they do is the people who buy the junk they sell we don’t need. Time for change.

@@Sewingtrue100 I would love to see more independent labels and designers but, unfortunately, I guess it is about money after all and that’s why viewers are flooded with the big brands and ads. I found it ironic - many of the designers celebrated in this year’s exhibition would probably never have been able to buy a ticket to the Met Gala to promote their garments
