"Gupta’s mask was made from stainless steel and acrylic, using traditional Indian utensils as its starting point. Birla describes it as “a helmet and a disguise at once”, an object that obscures identity while creating force. “While it looks like a skull, it’s made of something quite ordinary that's been put together and made extraordinary.” Kapoor was interested in contemporary Indian sculpture precisely because it is not always the first association people make with Indian art on a global fashion carpet. “When I started thinking about sculpture, I obviously thought about the different shades of Indian art, but contemporary sculpture is what really stood out for me,” she says. The stylist points to the way everyday materials such as cotton and jute helped create one of India’s early industrial empires. “The shirt and the jacket are inspired by workwear,” Kapoor says, linking the choice to Gupta’s interest in every day objects and the working individual. Birla also wore a diamond necklace designed by her father, adding a personal element to the look." (x)

"On its front, myriad pearls conspire to create a beefy, musclebound body—pecs high and tight, abdomen blocky and bulging, waist as snatched as can be. Its back side, covered in large, bloody lacerations accentuated by dangling ruby-red droplets, tells a different story. “The back of the garment has a very heavy kind of reference,” says Pope over the phone. “The duality felt very aligned with how I understand myself as an artist and as a Black man trying to navigate and hold space for legacy, visibility, and truth specifically in these types of spaces.” ... “These pieces are all about the glorification of the naked body, and Mr. Pearl did a wonder to achieve this,” Kronthaler said via a press release. “They are mostly made of pearls of different sizes dyed in many shades and layered to create the sense of the skin and musculature of the male body.” ... There was one more layer of personal significance to the piece for Pope: It bears mentioning that his father was a pastor and professional bodybuilder (a dynamite combo). “It feels like in a way I'm honoring the man that I was raised by,” Pope says. “There’s so much that goes into being a professional bodybuilder and putting your body on display to be judged. So in a weird way, it’s like: Let the Met stairs be that performance for me.”" (x)

"Committed to exploring aging as an art, the singer’s team reached out to Marino, whose award-winning prosthetic designs you can spot in films like The Batman and The Irishman, and series like The Penguin and True Detective, not to mention Heidi Klum every Halloween since 2011. ... For the singer’s Met Gala appearance, Marino felt he needed a more realistic, almost regal approach to a travel through time. “The fact that he's distinguished and well-groomed is on purpose,” says Marino, who thought making Bad Bunny look weary and hunched would not have felt right for fashion’s most glamorous night of the year. Marino was also continuing a long tradition in art history of presenting idealized representations of people and the human body. “If you think about famous portrait painters like [John Singer] Sargent and [Diego] Velázquez, they were often painting an idealized image of the subject, manipulating how they look to make them look more beautiful, or more colorful, more powerful in that portrait,” he says, referencing Velázquez’s painting of King Philip IV and the many propaganda paintings of Napoleon I. “I thought it was cool that, with his grooming, [Bad Bunny] had this distinguished look that was as if a Velázquez or Sargent portrait came to life. ... It’s hard for a celebrity to look in the mirror and see flaws, because in today’s world, that’s exploited and [certain types of media] can be mean-spirited and write articles showing them at their worst.” That's why he found his work with Bad Bunny at this year’s Met Gala so meaningful. “There’s a beauty to aging, and Benito put that on display. He was trying to show people, ‘This is what it will be like, and see how good I look.’ And I think that’s a very cool thing.”" (x)
