I fucking hate the met gala theme this year - not just because I hate Karl Lagerfeld as a person, but because it is boring.
The Met Gala, despite all its pretensions, is when we get to judge the taste of millionaires, billionaires and most importantly Anna. People are meant to fuck it up, it's meant to be a weird wacky wonderland of couture. So to pick a designer who loved monochrome and cut his teeth designing boring clean line chanel undermines the whole point.
I keep seeing people saying the men are killing it but its the same wave of black tuxes as always. Just this time add some beading or a brooch or weird sleeves and suddenly you're cosplaying as Karl. The emoji on the hastag for the night is literally a white shirt collar and black tie. And even most of those who opposed the theme by wearing pink still stuck to the rest of the unspoken rules in pastel ai generated chanel-esc meh.
Most on theme year since heavenly bodies and as its antithesis I doubt it will produce a single iconic look.
