Elliot Page attends the 2021 Met Gala (September 13, 2021)
why is no one talking about the green rose??? anyone else getting oscar wilde green carnation vibes or is it just me? yes he wore a black suit to the met gala but The Significance of this look!!!
Also, as pointed out in a post I just reblogged, the oversized suit was almost definitely a deliberate choice to evoke a particular image:
“teen trans boy's first prom suit, borrowed/bought a size too large because it was the smallest available". The obviously overlong sleeves. The cut of the jacket collar. The overlong suit pants. The massive chunky black sneakers. The massive green rose in his lapel.
Sure, he’s wearing a black suit, but he did that very much On Purpose as a transmasculine person at his first event since coming out. And on top of that, the outfit perfectly fit the theme for the Met Gala.
Elliot is an experienced celebrity who’s attended tons of these events and yet people are being so condescending, acting like he doesn’t know what he’s doing? Even his expression in this photo shows that he knows EXACTLY what sort of image he’s presenting and that it was completely deliberate. That’s not the face of someone who is self-conscious in a bad suit, it’s the face of someone who got the exact look he was going for.
