The Met Gala is my way of keeping up with "who is the who" as my then toddler nephew said.

I get that over the top outfits for the met gala etc are about making a statement and being remembered, but what I’d give to see a beautiful vintage Edith Head gown. (sigh) Most of these outfits just made me shake my head.

This year's theme was a tribute to Karl Lagerfield, who was rather controversial because he was, from what I can tell, a pretty serious asshole. He was very clear about hating the color pink among other things, and apparently, quite a few attendees showed up in pink outfits. ]:->
ETA: He also hated men wearing long socks and showing leg hair, hence Pedro Pascal's interesting look (It's near the top of the gallery at the link above.)

I don't pay attention to people of fashion, so I had no clue who Karl Lagerfeld was, but Jezebel has an article about the Met Gala with a few comments about Lagerfeld -
Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet: An Eye-Popping Tribute to a Bad Man
Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet: An Eye-Popping Tribute to a Bad Man
Tonight, Anna Wintour has decided to honor the legacy of her good friend, a man who once said, “If you don’t want your pants pulled about, don’t become a model”: Karl Lagerfeld. While I have no illusions about the integrity of fashion’s blue bloods, it’s still disheartening for this year’s theme to be “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Perhaps, though, in the sense that the bigoted, fatphobic, and sexist late Chanel creative director found anyone with a frame thicker than a straight line to be unworthy of fashion, it’s an apt phrase.
One way I’m choosing to look at it is that Lagerfeld would be miserable seeing people larger than a size 0 (he once said Heidi Klum was “too heavy and has too big a bust”) wearing Chanel at an event in his name. It’s nice to think of him being a little bit annoyed at any semblance of body positivity, wherever he is now. (Hell?)

I like the fantasy of the Met Gala couture. It’s not practical, you probably wouldn’t wear it to the Oscars but here you can be an alien (Lil NazX) or wear shirts and long socks and a red coat (Pedro Pascal) or just stand there looking stunning (Lizzo in Chanel would have killed Lagerfeld )
Those are my faves this year. Lizzo looks great.
ETA I’m a Lizzo fan. Can you tell?

That is too funny - my favorite fashions from the Met Gala are Pedro Pascal and Lizzo. I also thought Lizzo looked amazing in her black with dripping pearls. And Pedro's outfit was just too much fun, I loved it.Phoenix520 wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 12:16 am I like the fantasy of the Met Gala couture.

There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.

I think it was wonderful so many women came ready to keep the floors immaculate. And all those men with gloves on - clearly they were ready to work. Quite a few of the outfits beg the question "Did it come with a sweater?" while others ask "Where do you carry the portable air conditioner?"

Woman Creates Outfits Using 1940s Illustrations Drawn by Her Grandma Who Dropped Out of Fashion School
ATikToker named Julia is making her grandmother’s dreams come true. When visiting her grandma Georgie in January 2021, Julia began looking through sketches of dresses that Georgie designed when she was a teenager. Julia’s grandmother, it turns out, had wanted to be a fashion designer. She even attended school for it in the 1940s but was forced to drop out to care for ailing family members. Her designs stayed on paper for decades until her granddaughter came across them.
“I knew grandma was talented, but I was like, wow, these are really much better than what I was envisioning in my head,” Julia said. “And she mentioned that when she dies, she wanted them to get sent out to magazines or displayed at her funeral.”
But Julia didn’t see why they had to wait to experience her grandmother’s creativity. She posted the sketches on TikTok, briefly sharing Georgie's story. The video went viral, and Julia started to learn basic sewing skills to make the designs a reality.
Using material leftover from her grandmother’s collection of vintage fabrics as well as thrifted materials, Julia has sewn many of the garments Georgie envisioned. She notes that she doesn’t always follow her “grandma sketch,” as what looks good on paper might not translate onto the body. “Grandma encourages that,” Julia explains.
This ongoing intergenerational collaboration has led to a captivating—and extremely popular—TikTok series in which Julia shows Georgie what she’s created. It’s also sparked sweet conversations between the two of them, which are shared on video. And in one of the greatest moments of the project so far, Julia even got to debut the designs at New York Fashion Week 2023. (Georgie couldn’t attend, but she watched the live stream.)
TikTok dress videos are in the article.
