MET GALA 2022 FASHION ROAST (how dare kim kardashian wear that dress)
The 2022 MET Gala has come and gone well . . . I wish it hadn't. The theme of "Gilded Glamour" was very rarely followed on the red carpet, and instead, it was an uninteresting free for all of banal dresses, suits, and gowns. Our first video on the 2022 MET Gala will look at some of the most famous attendees of the night within current popular culture, from Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's Jean Louis gown that she wore in 1962, to Billie Eilish in a Gucci Gilded Age gown, to Kylie Jenner in a hot mess Off-White gown that does no justice to her or the brand. Blake Lively, one of the hosts of the evening stunned, Lizzo channeled Gilded Age tailoring in Thom Browne, Rosalía subtly hit the theme in Givenchy, as did Sarah Jessica Parker in Christopher John Rogers.

Kim’s dress situation is a perfect example of ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’
yes!!! exactly!!
I was so bored by that look
A message I have told my children since they were very young. They get it, some people are clueless
Someone said it looked like she made wearing That Dress look like she was wearing formal Skims, and I could agree more.
ok
Kim absolutely FELL. How she managed to make one of the most iconic dresses in the world look like a fucking fashion nova disaster is beyond me.
because the dress was made for Marilyn and not for Kim who loves tan, who has different body shape and hairstyle. Kim's curves are different - she tried to pose like Marilyn and all of her poses seem harsh, very 'geometrical', while Marilyn looks soft, almost angelic like. And I will never believe that Kim was able to fit in that dress even if she lost a lot of weight for it - that why ugly white coat was there. To hide the fact that they weren't able to close the zipper.
the minute I heard she was allegedly going to the Met Gala in Marilyn's dress, I immediately said, "she can't wear that, she won't fit in it. her hips are too big for it. " also, Priceless American Icon Artifact! Hello? No amount of money Kim shells out should let her wear the dress!
Oh my god thank you just cause she’s Kim k she can do whatever she wants touch Marilyn’s dress and do it badly
@@piupauf she recently had some of her butt removed so I think that played into it
The thing that makes the dress was 1) that it fits Marilyn's skin and it looks nude, and 2) the classic SILHOUETTE. Silhouette. You can make dresses with ANY type of fabric, but if you get the silhouette right, it can pass as being "historically inspired". For example, Billie's. Her dress is not historically accurate fabric wise, but because her silhouette is great, it looks distinctively gilded age. Kim does not has Marilyn's undergarments. The silhouette and color is far off, to the point that it loses its initial purpose and charm.
The sad thing is: Kim could absolutely rock a victorian silhouette without much effort. She's allready familiar with wearing a corset and it would be refreshing to see her wear a headpiece/faschinator. This choice was just wrong on so many levels.
The choice was definitely just to name drop Marilyn Monroe and that was about it lol Edit: I also just cannot get over the fit. The way she's posed with her knee forward in that picture? It's so unflattering
lmao "absolutely rock"... photoshop does not work in real life.
Kim really thought people would care about Marilyn’s dress. I saw the dress I said “ok.” Then I heard the story behind the dress, and said “ok.” Like idk personally I really don’t care who’s dress it was and Marilyn wasn’t that much of an impact to me.
@@David.124 to be fair Marylin is ONLY an impact for like Gen X and Baby Boomer. Millennials and Gen Z are too young. Sure we can google her and stuff but it’s not the same as being alive in her time
She’s an Armenian. Very dense slava valley girl archtype. Has no idea about culture. Just theft.
why is everyone talking about KIM'S DRESS and no one is talking about the NECKLACE WORN BY EMMA CHAMBERLIN WHICH WAS FROM INDIA and is a PIECE OF HISTORY which was once owned by MAHARAJA OF PATIALA and went missing and suddenly found 32 years later in an auction. THE NECKLACE LITERALLY DEFINED GILDED GLAMOUR. IT IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF HISTORY WHICH SHOULDN'T BE WORN.
omg!! what!
I don't care. I don't really care about kim not Emma.
@@agathachris9722 it's not about them, it's about the artifacts
I guess it's just because more ppl who are experts in dress history etc are talking about the fashion choices at met Gala. Not many jewellery historians I suppose? That is truly awful though and she should be receiving the same backfire
THIS IS AWFUL. Damn I didn’t knew about it!
Anna Wintour not following her own theme was pretty hilarious
That’s a recurring theme actually
i don't get it! she could have so much fun with this.
She never does, she hasn’t served a look since late 90s
Yeah Idc if she's head of vogue, if she doesn't want to be on theme than maybe just don't walk the red carpet, and let someone else better represent for vogue what the exact theme is.
Her FOLLOWING the theme would've been a bigger shock honestly
It’s honestly upsetting that people don’t want to follow the theme at the Met. It’s an excuse for people to dress up and be creative but they refuse to do that which is so ironic because they work in a creative field. But atleast it gives us all meme material and we all collective laugh.
I take it as an intelligence test. Are you able to understand and execute the exignment or not? I think people that repeatedly don't follow the theme need to do a sit-out for somebody who will come to slay.
Yess - it’s also literally a fundraising event for the Mets costumes with iconic t h e m e s. And they’re serving a snap back for a costume fundraiser?? Why
@@valeriealessia6618 Because designers are treating the met like a marketing campaign for their new collection rather than actually doing the work.
Like they have so many red carpets and events all year long to dress up and look pretty. Why not just follow the damn theme this one night 😤
It's not a Halloween party theme, it's not to be meant a literal costume, it's fashion, and it's a gala. If you want guidance on this just look at the host - Anna Wintour. I'm actually disappointed in this video review, I feel he misunderstood the intent of the theme.
The Marilyn dress was not even correct to the skin tone like it was for Marilyn. It was Marilyn’s skin color, made to be a nude moment like the Britney crystal body suit. It was an awful idea lending her the dress and that dress will never be the same. It was more than likely stretched in areas and the crystals are probably not the same either. She ruined a part of history for her own ego. If anything that was the most guilded age part about her look.
Exactly she nailed the theme perfectly just not in the way she was supposed to! 😆😭 It's so hilariously sad. I feel like we're still living in The Guilded Age after hearing what she did.
Worst part, she went with Pete Davidson and not Kanye. K & K (Kim and Kanye) alone is a legendary name/title.
The dress was damaged , they release photos that around the zipper the clasps were damaged , so yeah , she ruined a part of history for a a stupid reason AND damaged it
Yes! Skin tone is key, Kim made it look a murky yellow as it’s already quite transparent.
A part of history? A celebrity who was likely having an affair with a president wore this dress to seduce said president... that's a part of history Americans are keen to protect?
Ashton Sanders totally nailed the theme! His outfit is based on the Buffalo soldier uniform, an all-black regiment in the 1870's (aka the Gilded Age, but on the west coast!) In addition to the corsetry, the lovely colors, and all over great design, it fit the theme more than almost anyone else!
I went looking for this comment.
Oh YES! I thought his look was so familiar for some reason and that's why. I've just never seen them in their uniforms in a colored photo before but still, I just kept thinking his uniform looked so familiar...thank you for clarifying for us all what exactly that uniform is. That was a great idea, and a great part of Guilded Age history to highlight. Well, they were soldiers in the 1800s fighting Native American tribes for the US government's distubing idea of Manifest Destiny, so it's not a "great" part of history, but more like a very important part of history. The Native American tribes they were fighting were the most skilled fighters. Apache, Comanche, etc. The Comanche were arguably the best cavalry fighters to ever, ever exist. Fighting them alone would have been...let's just say, you'd send your very best. I expect they did considering the Comanches eventually lost the Indian wars. Plus the Buffalo Soldiers are considered the first Park Rangers. Should be brought into the history books more often. The only way I ever learned about them was by listening to Bob Marley. 🙄 "American Plains Indians who fought against these soldiers referred to the black cavalry troops as "buffalo soldiers" because of their dark, curly hair, which resembled a buffalo's coat and because of their fierce nature of fighting. The nickname soon became synonymous with all African-American regiments formed in 1866." -nps dot gov
THANKYOU I came to the comments to say he's exactly on the theme and a whole lot more on theme than almost everyone!!
Coming back to this comment to add that the choice of fabric is also genius- denim had a big boom in the 1870's, because it was durable and easier to produce with new technological advantages. It was also cheap, but that's because of unfair prices paid to share croppers for their cotton. There's so many layers to this design and it deserves to be praised 🔥
It‘s like all of these brands, stylists and celebs are purposely trying to NOT fit the theme by all means necessary 😂💀
Honestly if I ran the event if you couldn't even be bothered trying for the theme, you'd not get a second invitation. There are more than enough people that would love to go and that would look amazing, put in the effort and have the money to pay for a ticket.
Seriously, so annoying. Complete disrespect.
LMAO YOURE THAT GUY THAT GOT ROASTED TO FUCKING BITS FOR CALLING OUT FASHION WHILE LOOKING BASIC AS FUCK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Tom Ford openly admitted he never follows the theme!
They are all trying to be *not like other girls*
Petition to have every designer submit their MET Gala designs/looks to the MET beforehand… It’s exhausting not having almost anyone on theme every year.
Yeah or they should just get rejected at the door if they arrive off theme!
They need to give PowerPoint presentations on their looks and how they fit the theme 😂
I’m sure it’s hard considering there are high star celebs like Kim K showing to the event. And imagine rejecting one of these celebrities. They probably would have a hissy fit
@@AmyB369 I was literally thinking about this 😂 they should hire a fashion historian at the gate.
Anna herself was boring. What would they say to others
I've got to say, as a typical heterosexual 36 years old man who lives in Florida and all that entails, I have no idea how I got this far down the rabbit hole but I'm here for it. Watched the whole 45 min. 10/10 would watch again. Not only are you extremely knowledgeable but also very articulate in why things were or weren't on theme. Banger critique. Even though my opinion counts for absolutely nothing I think this was really great and the fact that it was done at the end of what I'm assuming was a very long day speaks volumes of the work ethic. Thank you for this very brief look into a world I know absolutely nothing about!
Kim likes attention, but it is disgusting that she has chosen this way to bring herself into the limelight. She has completely ruined the history of the dress just by putting it on her body. Shame on Ripley's for allowing this to happen. I agree with you this does not look good on her either.
Kim really thought people would care about Marilyn’s dress. I saw the dress I said “ok.” Then I heard the story behind the dress, and said “ok.” Like idk personally I really don’t care who’s dress it was and Marilyn wasn’t that much of an impact to me.
@Andrew Murray this is the perfect example of look but don't touch. She couldn't even get the zipper up and had to go bare assed using the fur to cover the back opening. Just so unnecessary and sad.
I just can't imagine being invited to what is basically the most high-brow costume party in the U.S. and NOT showing up on-theme. I can't with these people anymore lmao
Well even the host wasn’t on theme 🤣🤣
they must not be big into fashion n dont wear it or so,ething
The theme was Transgender Age so she was on theme she whore like a champagne and blue aka pink and blue Blake lively as well
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants! Have a blessed day, everyone!!! ❤
@@Call_Upon_YAH why you gotta ruin the vibe
Anna Wintour should just name the next met as "Shein-Theme" next year and call it a day.
I'm Laughing so hard. Because it's on point and I love this comment
@@krishniarumugam it's truth 🕴️🏼
She looked very Shein herself
Anna Wintour came as a couch.
no cause watch shein have some of these outfits on their website after today 💀💀
The "Believe It or Not" museum SHOULD NOT have let her wear that dress. She was definitely not worthy. She ruined it.
I wish another museum owned it
They aren't a REAL museum. That is part of the problem.
Maybe unpopular opinion: I don’t care that Kylie’s friend designed the dress. Yes, the dress is super creative and full of significance for Kylie and she’s such a great friend for honoring his legacy by wearing it, but this is literally the Met Gala. With a very specific theme. She could have picked any other high-class red carpet to present this look, but she decided to wear it to the met gala knowing that it would be picked apart by critics because it clearing isn’t on theme. It’s a shame to her friend’s legacy because it truly is an interesting and thought provoking look, but now it will forever be known as the off-theme Kylie look :/
I never thought of it quite like that. But you're right. Poor Virgil. Kylie is really good at making other people & events about herself, and wearing that gown was no different.
It’s so cool how a lot of people who are “newer” to the scene, like Bad Bunny or Lizzo, even Billie and more, show up in better outfits than people who have been in the event over and over again. Especially Anna Wintour! The ONE red carpet event where you can go absolutely nuts with your look and you just show up with an underwhelming dress? God the rich annoy me.
Even Sabrina Carpenter
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants! Have a blessed day, everyone!!! ❤
@@101skully9 most of the people who didn't show up on theme also weren't wearing anything outrageous or special anyway, so that's a bust
totally agree! i also love emma and normani’s looks (also new to the scene). it makes me so excited for future met galas.
Lizzo really killed it!!! And im not a fan
Also it was such a fun theme that could go so many ways and most people did not even TOUCH the theme… ugh
Right!! I was so upsett, Like for once they need to put work
Seriously! Like everyone has been talking about the guilded age show, or Bridgerton, pride and prejudice, peaky blinders are all shows everyone could have drawn inspiration and they just gave up 😩 I swear everyday I wish I could dress like a Victorian woman because that fashion was absolutely incredible and these people get the opportunity to wear couture garments made for them in that style and they just chose not to 😭
@samantha ssmith hmm idk, somewhat, the silhouette of the 2021 gown is definitely more of the slim victorian dress than the one she wore for sure, if styled right it definitely could have worked I see what your saying. The 2022 was pretty but obviously not in style
They should turn-away anyone not dressed in theme; that'll deter any future non-compliance for sure. 😀
most years the theme is missed by most though, no?
Idk why Kim would bleach her hair just to tie it back so tightly. Every lady knows a tight ponytail for a photo will make you look bald/like an alien. When I first saw pictures I legit thought she shaved her head until I zoomed in and really examined. How was that her styling choice to compliment this dress? She looked bald in sparkly skims.
lmao
Wait, was that a low ponytail? I thought that she cut her hair very short XD
It’s absolutely infuriating how everyone seems to understand the problem with Kim wearing Marilyn’s dress but very few people (almost exclusively poc) are pointing out the issue of Emma chamberlain wearing a stolen necklace
Was looking for this comment
@@mikeym1121 same lol, I eventually realized I just had to make it myself
I mean it was auctioned off and it defined guilded glamour. So it was pretty fitting.
@@David.124 I was auctioned off after being stolen and having all the diamonds removed
@@daniellesene7574 how much did you go for.....
The amount of people that went for BLACK! Like not even grey, or like dimensions of black. This was a period when colours absolutely ruled and synthetics were really developing.... just so many missed opportunities
*kendalls outfit is the exception - I LOVE
Agree, in that time period black was for mourning.
I would have liked a reference to gilded age mourning fashion. As it was a large part of dress at the time. But no they couldn't even do that.
i was literally so confused watching all the black outfits roll out like... are we forgetting that black was a mourning color back then? give us COLOR! PATTERNS!
@@nebullae it wasn't always a mourning color especially in evening dress but yes they certainly skipped the extravagant jewel tones worn by them.
One of the main points of Marilyn's dress was that it was made for her and her alone. Also because of that, it matched her skintone and stuck to her body perfectly.
Yes and Kim had her moment like this already and did it custom and therefore it was better suited for her. That look was everything. I believe was it Mugler who gave her that teardrop crystal wet look? This looked horrible lol
Yes but even on Marilyn she had to be sewed on it for it to fit her… Kim mostly just lost weight but since she’s much bigger than Marilyn there was no way it perfectly fit without at least breaking off the rhinestones or ripping it
Plus it wasn’t golden age!
It’s sacrilege for KK to have the chutzpah to think that she should dare to wear THAT dress, ever, for any reason? Definitely no. Why sacrilege? Well, there are those of us who have elevated Marilyn to goddess status. She is more of the quintessence than even the Statue of Liberty. Plus, THAT dress was not only made just for her, for her to wear while singing Happy Birthday to President JFK. Would KK ever have the iconic status to appear for such an occasion? No. THAT dress not only was custom made for Marilyn, but it had to be sewn onto her body. If anything the level ostentatious excess that KK has symbolized in presuming to wear THAT dress for a gaudy, trashy occasion, not because the Met is trashy, but because so many of the invited guests are indeed trashy. KK’s purportedly using her private jet to fly the gown and its entourage to various places around the country in preparation for the event quite simply just underscores just how differently the billionaire class live than the rest of us, or CAN live, just because they’re so smart, so rich, so entitled. So bah humbug to KK and her presumptions and to the bulk of the gala’s invitees. That was and still is Marilyn’s dress, so why did it have to be violated by having it to be on KK’s body. Would that we could wind the clock back and undo even the possibility that such a thing could ever happen.
What a defilement of Marilyn's legacy. You can imagine how delicate that vintage fabric is, and to have it desecrated by a no talent is abominable. Shame on all involved.
the oils on her skin definitely took a few decades of life out of that dress. it’s a huge shame
Yes, is so disgusting to put a piece of history at risk like that. Especially the fact she had to squeeze into it and tye it shut 😬 they said they would not alter it but they were okay with that?
I agree.
You’re all so bitter, let the women live
I mean I literally study design and fashion history, there's a lot of internalised misogyny coming from women who think Kim shouldn't wear this dress, they are both women destroyed by the media - unfortunately, one survived and one did not. I think people put Marilyn on too much of a pedestal, she didn't enjoy being Marilyn and was often forgotten as Norma Jean, she wouldn't of enjoyed this hierarchy of who is allowed and not allowed to wear something because of how the public perceive them, given she was labelled as the other woman, mistress etc. for a long time.
The Marilyn dress situation just got progressively worse the more we found out. It didn't fit, so she had to wear the cheap fur. She had a replica made, so why even bother wearing the original? And then she wore another Marilyn dress and damaged two in one night. Nothing about her look was on theme at all. And Kourtney on the red carpet just admitted to not paying any attention to the theme. All that money and no cares given.
I know. I feel like Luke gave Kourtney a pass bc she was wearing Thom Browne (whom he heavily supports) & matched with her husband. It may have been a Thom Browne ensemble, but I don't believe it was flattering at all, as Kourtney imo is too petite for that type of fit. And also simply was NOT on theme.
Blake's Statue of Liberty dress was fantastic. That's one Micarah Tewers needs to make.
Really hitting the theme of the gala and exhibit theme while some don't have one theme.
It was so much more than just the statute of liberty. She explained it Vogue interview
probably one of the few looks i love unfortunately
YES MY GIRL MICARAH
It is very pretty she did say tho that the main dress part (not the draped skirt but the actual dress) is inspired by the empire state building which was built 30 years after the gilded Age.....
“If you waited this long to come, and then you come and you’re a flop” I have no words
Savage but he did not lie
Just started the video but I feel like this is about kourtney
I know. I just don't get it. This is the met gala. A party to go over the edge with. A night to go "extra". And I don't fully blame the celebrity. The stylists that pulled these outfits to begin with should be fired. Some of these people looked like they were going out for drinks in a dive bar.
@@Hannah-uw2yj you got the correct family at least lmao
@@Hannah-uw2yj No its about Khloe
Bella’s look is actually supposed to be a reference to pr*stitution of the time since it was a huge thing in NY during that time period. It’s all supposed to be showy and exposed, that’s why the bonding on corset is seen and the lace is there. From the hair to the outfit, her look is a modernized take on the look of pr*stitutes during the Gilded Age.
Bellas was really good i must say
Glorifying a prostitute because at that Met Gala …..iykyk.
Interesting that you mention that. When I first saw it, I thought she looked like a prostitute (not in an offensive way, but more of a prostitute of that old age.)
Penny Dreadful vibe; liked it.
I mean that’s cool and all but wearing a revealing black corset just doesn’t mean anything to that era. It sounds like she is just feeding into a stereotype of sex workers lol.
Blake Lively was fabulous, I loved her look so much. Kim K being allowed to wear that dress is a travesty and should never have happened.
Whoever did Blake Lively's dress should do the Miss America dress representing country. Brilliant design and execution.
Nah. Miss America is an Aborigine.
She was best dressed
Versace
For me that copper patina gown was memorable. I’m not sure who Blake Lively is but WoW. Nailed the concept. Stole the moment.
@@ilovefinn1578 Totally got the idiotic theme. Managed to show class amidst trash. Kimye; Cardi; Lizzo etc. whoring $ for class.
im disappointed by the lack of hats! the hats in the gilded age were so fun SUCH a missed opportunity, glad a few of the men actually wore the top hats tho they look great
Very true..where were the ornate hats? Why was it so basic?
Very true
Same! I felt that could have given extra pizzazz to a lot of the looks
Yes! So many birds died in that time period to become decor for hats. I wanted to see a whole owl on someone’s head
SZA wore a hat, but he didn’t cover her. Or many of the other best-dressed folks! 🙄
Good GOD 😫 I HATED Kim wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic ‘Mr. President’ dress. I’ve never been more genuinely mad about seeing a celebrity wear a garment in my LIFE! The Kardashian’s outfits were so horrible I seriously had to unfollow all of them- I couldn’t handle them tooting their own horn talking about how beautiful and meaningful all their outfits were OMG disgusting
get a life! you need help lmao
Yah
Blake's dress references Art Deco and Art Nouveau. The dress and the wrapping bow are so beautiful and the skirt portrays the green patina that covers copper with time. They are a stunning couple.
And the Vogue "best dressed" list is a compilation of the worst looks of the night 💀
I’m convinced that whoever writes those ranking lists have zero knowledge on fashion.
unsubscribed from their channel yesterday. No regrets.
They are an ass kissing biased nightmare, they only rate looks based on the amount of followers a wearer has…
Vogue is paid.
Also, the Vogue comment section makes me cringe and lose hope in humanity.
Poor Marilyn. We need to stop using everything about her as a way to reference modern celebrities. She was a human person not just an image to use to boost one's ego or reference one's own celebrity.
Especially someone like Kim, it literally offends me the fact that someone allowed her to wear that dress.
@@aspannas right!
Marilyn deserves so much better. That dress is a literally artifact, I cannot imagine anyone else wear Marilyn’s dress, especially since is was specifically crafted for her. It’s not even about Kim K, I can’t even support celebs that I love wearing that. 😬
@@ldr11233 “like she’s the worst human being in the world” and if we do feel like she is?? She’s done terrible things to the black community (as well as other people) and still continues to do so. Also her helping convicted people doesn’t erase the things she’s done??
@@ldr11233 she literally lost 16 pounds to fit in the dress and acts like it’s something to be proud of. promoting dirsordered eating doesn’t make her sound like the best person in the world. marilyn would never.
Ashton Sanders looked amazing and I wish people would do some research into the inspiration for his outfit (The Buffalo Soldiers) because its actually really expertly on theme
These people don’t feel they ought to do research on Aboriginal American history and it will bite them in the @ss very soon. Oh well. :)
I love the concept behind Blake Lively's transforming dress but I just wish she leaned into Art Nouveau aesthetics instead of Art Deco aesthetics because the architectural styles she's referencing in the beadwork is about 20 years after the end of the Gilded Age, and Art Nouveau is such a fun and unique style of the period (plus, it was super popular in France and Lady Liberty comes from France!)
👆👏👌
"Completely different skintone" -- thank you. That's what I keep saying. The point of the dress was that Marilyn was supposed to look naked and glistening to the audiance. Kim wearing it is like she's smothered herself in foundation several shades too light for her. Why not pay hommage? Have the dress remade in her own skintone and do the Marilyn hair and make-up, but make it Kim Kardashian.
To sum it up in two words Being CHEAP!!
@@justshalicious6283 i don't think it's money. It's about Kim feeling very important. The fact that Marilyn is connected to it is what it gives it it's status. Making a new one wouldn't have that affect.
She already had that moment with her Mugler gown when the theme was camp
She is disgusting.. plastic from head to foot, and how dare she wear that dress 🤮
Exactly
Finding out Kim lost 16 pounds in 3 weeks just to be able to fit in the dress, just for it to be a snoozefest is just sad.
Like, how is that healthy?
are you serious?!?? all for a dress that blended in with her tan…..
@Certified Queen that’s a lot of weight to lose per week if you aren’t extremely overweight. 1-2 pounds a week would be normal but 4-5 sounds extreme
@Certified Queen it’s really stressful on your body to lose so much weight so quickly regardless of your starting weight
People are still talking about it. No snooze here
Kim Karadashian made an iconic dress look like a dress picked off the rack in haste for £79.99 at TK Maxx.
i know why Kim decided to wear that dress and i am basically giving her what she wants, but it pisses me of so much that she basically has no limits to what she will do for the sake of attention, she will disrespect and spit on everything for the sake of the public never stop talking about her and her family , and she always ALWAYS gets what she wants its really sickening
Kim fell in my eyes big time: she wanted this dress just for the sake of flexing on her money and clout: it didn’t fit her right, the color didn’t look right on her tan, it was NOT on theme and most importantly no one should have ever worn this piece of history after Marilyn. Periodt.
I swear I saw her in the same dress in silver. Pretty amazing on how she makes everything so boring.
She also made the dress look so basic with that white thing and the hair and the makeup it was just terrible and no I don’t care what everyone says she isn’t the modern day Marilyn Monroe that’s like saying Shawn Mendes is the modern Michael Jackson
Totally agree! That’s why a person wears clothes not other way
She dressed better when she was with Kanye. She’s a basic girl I think people just forgot lol
Boring look, disrespectful and NOTHING to do with the theme. So, very much a Kardashian look 🤷🏽♀️
I’m 80, an elder fashionista, and a devoted fan of yours. It’s such a relief to hear critique from one who knows what fashion history is about. You soothe my elder brain and eyes more than you know! Keep being as true as you are!
Hi Mama! I'm 53& I love Luke too!! Such a smart cookie, stylish & clever! I'm hoping there's a big Tim Gunn style career in his future! 💚

This is the sweetest comment I’ve ever seen on this website! 🥺
You made a mistake. Ashton Sander’s look was definitely gilded era inspired - his inspiration was uniform of Buffalo Army soldiers.
What I find disappointing about these era themes is that they always ignore more rural fashions that could be really unique with modern twists if given the right attention.
Can we also give a huge shoutout to HauteLeMode for delivering this serious, in-depth critic less than a DAY after the Met Gala? That's commitment right there.
Like for real when he announced that the review would come on tuesday I was shook. Such hard work and it was great!!
I particularly enjoyed the not so subtle shade of flat out ignoring every single Louis Vuitton look that was 1/2 of the night.
Critique
Nope
Would have been better if he didn’t completely miss the best reference of the night
Ashton Sanders’ look was paying homage to the Buffalo Soldiers, a regiment of African American soldiers that fought and protected during that era. If you look up pictures, it’s actually pretty brilliantly done.
Yess
Came here to say the same thing. So many celebrities made no effort and Luke going on and on about how its off theme and he's in the know....was embrassing. He's very knowledgeable and I like his opinions but that was a miss.
it was done really well. they made it look modern and not costumey. very referential.
Looking for this comment. 👀
i came here looking for this comment after hearing modern gurlz explanation of the outfit!!
Ashton Sanders look was referencing the Buffalo Soldiers - a specifically Black male guard unit established in 1866 in Fort Leavenworth Kansas - the Gilded Age began roughly in the 1870's so I would say he was making a strong pre reference towards the theme - at the very least much closer than the majority of the Met Gala guests.
When Kim was walking up the steps in Marilyns dress someone noticed that few of the rhinestone fell off :( so it is a historical museum piece not to be worn for exactly that reason
Honestly, it looks like people got "The Gilded Age" confused with "The Golden Age of Hollywood". If you look at the outfits with that in mind, a lot more people are at least close to being on theme.
Yes. Maud Apatow, for example. Perfect choice for the roaring 20s but not for the Gilded Age.
@Natasha ma'am this is a met gala roast comment section
Yes!! But the confusion could've been so easily prevented with just a quick little google search... I really can't believe they all go to this event without understanding the theme
It's actually surprising how many 20s looks there were.... maybe that should be the next theme lol
You lost me on Kourtney Kardashion’s look… I thought it was ugliest dress I’ve seen l The “skirt” looked like she was wearing some kind of weird body control slip and the black skirt fell apart and slipped down!
Y’all the designer of the dress said that he had the dress tailored sooo tightly and perfectly to Marilyn so that only Marilyn could wear it
Yup that’s factual, that’s the reason the dress could not be zippered up on Kim. That’s why she wore the white stole to cover up the back. I also totally agree that it didn’t look good with her skin tone and the hair needed to styled like Marilyn if she’s trying to emulate the look.
@@moonybay38 Exactly the dress was too tight for Kim and it did to suit her at all, she missed an opportunity to do something cool, unique and original
@@moonybay38 wait... it didn't even FIT?! TF
@@taybug77 sure the heck didn’t.. l watched the vogue’s coverage of her getting in the dress, it took 3 people to put it on, (they had gloves on) go figure because she’s already sweating in the dress. They could not get it over her derrière. So they left it open because they feared ripping the dress.
@@moonybay38 I can’t believe they risked the dress for her ego
The thing that bothers me about Kim wearing that dress is that I think for so many girls/women, Marilyn was and still is a body positivity icon. She had a very natural womanly shape with pointy breasts (which I think most women have, I don’t think most women have perfectly rounded breasts all the time without support), she had defined hips and a waist and stomach was soft and had bits that overlapped and created little rolls and she had a normal little bump where most women do due to their uterus. And she looks like the every woman, of course women have different body shapes but when I see Marilyn in that dress I see my own body and I think a lot of women would. Kim on the other hand, has single handedly lead a whole lot of women and young girls to have body dysmorphia and believe that they should have the body of a barbie doll and attempt to live up to the absolutely impossible standard that is Kim Kardashians body. Kims body is her body and of course she is entitled to look how she does, but she is absolutely not by any means a champion of body positivity. I mean her and her family have advertised diet teas and lollipops ffs. I just don’t think Marilyn would stand by any of that. And thats why I have such an issue with Kim wearing that dress. Kim and Marilyn are both icons in regards to their bodies but in extremely different ways, thats fine because women dont need to be carbon copies of each other, but Kim comparing herself to Marilyn in that way is an absolute joke and its insulting tbh.
I don't mean to be an asshole, but you're spreading misinformation here. Monroe was a fairly petite woman at 5''5 & 118lbs and a lot of people believe she had an eating disorder (very common for actresses). You can google her exercise routine and diet. She definitely didn't practice "intuitive eating". The "pointy breasts" are from something called the bullet bra, we have pictures of her in a bikini, her stomach was flat and she clearly used corsets (like most actresses). She did have a slight bump you're correct there, but that bump is literally just fat (which is fine) unless you're pregnant/postpartum the uterus is a very small organ, no where near large enough to cause the stomach to distend.
People need to stop looking to celebs to be perfect role models.
@@agathachris9722 exactly
Kim an icon. Marilyn a legend.
Honestly, I can’t even judge Kylie Jenner after finding out why she wore that dress. It was a tribute to her friend, Virgil Abloh who was the designer for Off-White. They were suppose to go together back in 2020 before the pandemic shut everything down. But he sadly passed away due to a rare cancer he was battling silently.
nobody's talking about this, exactly!!
Ok but it wasn’t good. A tribute should still be good. Just saying.
@@fighterflight 100%! I think that it did not fit the theme, and to be honest even if it did, I did not like the look either way. The dress was designed by him though and she may not have wanted to alter it even if it were to make it look better since he made it. I did not like the look just pointing out that what she did was considerate!
aw that's sweet -- doesn't make it less ugly, but at least now i know why
@@valeriarossini543 Absolutely. Virgil had MANY iconic pieces that could have worked much better and that actually…aren’t ugly. Ugh I feel so weird saying that about someone who’s dead and clearly loves and was successful at fashion but it really still doesn’t change that I find that dress atrocious.
Ashton Sanders was referencing black Civil War soldiers, which definitely fell within the Gilded Age years. If you look up the uniforms, the color, fit, and proportions were spot-on. In a sea of so many boring vanilla rich white people, this was incredibly pointed and striking. The only thing he wasn't wearing was the shape of hat during that time. And obviously, no weapon or horse.
Glad to see someone got here first! Understandable that he didn't get the reference though, since this is an immediate reaction before he had the chance to do much research. I guess it's hard to join the dots just by looking because union soldiers wore blue but not denim, and the cut looks almost Napoleonic to me. I do love it though.
Agreed he missed the reference. However, the Buffalo Riders of the Civil War occurred before the Gilded Age. Civil War clothes would have been considered “old timey” to someone of the Gilded Age. For example hoop skirts vs bustle skirts. So in all he was still correct by noting it wasn’t exactly influenced by the Gilded Age since they were two different time periods. It was still a nice and thoughtful attempt in all though.
I agree that his fits the theme, but the civil war didn’t happen during the gilded age
@@czwilli no? Buffalo soldiers were 1890.
@@sweetsnejinka9411 actually the were formed September 21st 1866. The guided age began in the 1870s. Seeing the years are so close fashion wear for African American men definitely would have used those designs in there fashion
The point of Marilyn’s dress was to look like she wasn’t wearing anything but crystals. That’s why it was also shocking for the event and era. Also the shape of the bust, created by the bullet bra helped to give the illusion of pointy n;pples, emphasizing the “nakedness” and giving a very 50’s silhouette. That’s why Kim wearing the dress is also atrocious… It’s not the right silhouette, the dress doesn’t match her skin tone, therefore she doesn’t look almost nude. The makeup and the hair didn’t help at all EDIT: Looking at pics and comments, I came to the realization that she wasn’t wearing ANY undergarments. Which is also important bc Kim is obviously wearing bra and spandex
Kim made that dress look like every other bedazzled bodycon dress. It was giving Fashionova.
Excellent points ! Undergarments matter - particularly if you are doing vintage inspired pieces .
@@va6632 yes !!!!! it’s exactly that. when i first saw the dress i thought she was wearing her own brand or something. then i realized
Ugh hated the dress on her. Where was her hair? All wrong wrong wrong
Not too mention on Kim it looked like every other "casual" look of her - beige, tight, lycra-ish. She wears that style everyday, why would she go dress the for the Met Gala? Ugly, boring and horrifying treatment of historic garment
Billie Eilish is insanely gorgeous! l love her skin tone with that black hair and the pastel mash up dress! If I had been an attendee at the Met Gala, I would definitely watch Bram Stoker's "Dracula" for inspiration, or just straight up hire the costume designer from that film, the looks and gowns in Dracula were fantasical!
And reference the horror underneath during that time period.
Ugh yes Coppola Dracula is my all time favourite film. The looks were immaculate. Lucy’s burial look?! To die for
The met Gala theme "the gilded age" reminds me of "the Hunger games". Income inequality has never been a bigger issue in this country and they're ignoring people's suffering
Yes. And are so arrogant that they brush off a great privilege they have of being invited to the Met Gala and take it for granted.
What's more baffling about this Kim situation is that she basically already had her "Naked-looking Dress for a Sex Icon with Rhinestones" updated-Marilyn Met Gala moment two years ago, with the genuinely awesome “Dripping wet” Mugler look everybody remembers still. Why on Earth she'd do something like this now; the dress looks nothing like it should on her, there's no "she ain't wearing nothing but diamonds, it's so sheer, and matching the color of her skin so well, and body-hugging"-effect here, no clever twist, NO NOTHING but disrespect and tonedefness. And it's not on theme, so why?
It's baffling. Maybe she hit her head. I just hope she realises it was a huge mistake and not people being haters 🙄
That was all Kanye. I don't care for his behavior *at all* but damn did he know how to dress Kim. He's a better stylist than her.
that mugler outfit was more of an homage than wearing the actual dress. which really needs to stay in conservation and honestly im shocked she was allowed to wear it

Thank you! I cannot believe the fucking audacity of Kim, it's disgusting and I hope she faced the backlash she deserved.
What bothers me is that Kim K could’ve totally made a replica dress that matched her skin tone. nobody would’ve been mad AND the dress would’ve looked as intended on her. win win
ashton’s outfit was actually inspired by the uniforms worn by the buffalo soldiers, which was an African American regiment in the civil war ! although historically it was technically slightly before the gilded age started, i personally think it was a serve
Thank you!! I was hoping someone would mention this 🥰🥰
This is the comment i scrolled for
I wrote mine before I read other comments... Thank you so much for pointing that out. I think that when someone is doing a " reacting to" video, should inform him/herself and do the research on the theme he/she is taking about. It's not that difficult, especially with having access to so much information from the internet. Even I knew that, and I don't live even near USA, nor on the same continen! But if I would do something like this, I would make sure to research everything that I could find about the theme I'm covering in the video.
One of the best suits there.
It’s so important to not only define Guilded Age fashion by what white American elites were wearing.
Billie Eilish is not getting the credit she deserves for being the most on point with the theme! From the color palette to the fit, she hit every mark of guilded age fashion.
she understood the assignment.
Exactly!!
The only problem was she looked terrible. Wrong color palette for her!
it was ugly though 😭 nothing about it felt right? the fabric also looked all over the place. it definitely did fit the theme, but it was an ugly dress
blake and billie were the only ones who did the theme justice
Blake Lively's dress was one of the finest creations ever to grace the heights of fabric art, glorious concept, exquisitely crafted and iconic, a timely reminder of the welcome immigrants craved to see. A promise of open arms and open hearts. GBA 🗽🇺🇸
I don’t know which was more beautiful. Blake Lively herself or the stunning gown that she wore.
So many people in the comments saying that kim’s dress was perfect for last year’s met: the point is that this dress shouldn’t be worn by anyone ever again, because it is literally a piece of US history and CUSTOM MADE to fit Marylin. It’s not just a typical vintage archival gown that you borrow for 5 mins of flexing at the met.
She probably stretched it too
@@lilyquelette5817 fr. with kim’s plastic odd proportions she definitely stretched it out
US HISTORY? Y’all are reaching 😂😂✨✨
@@danielmontanelli6168 marilyn is a part of US history. so was jfk. where are you confused?
Agree, she should have worn it last year
So you're telling me that every celebrity had a pass to make their rear end look as huge as possible and mostly everyone took a pass on it… That kind of blows my mind!
Right?? I would have even been happy w/ a comical take on the bustle. Like... A cartoonish canvas balloon butt that eventually deflates into a weird quasi-train or back of a tail coat. Maybe that would be more "gilded camp" than glamour, but... SOMETHING. USE THE THEME.
@@ZijnShayatanica You and I had similar train of thought. I would've absolutely love to see that. Kind of like the evil stepsisters from Cinderella
Skinny is back on trend unfortunately
Loool you’d have thought they would make their backsides look like hot air balloon’s but I guess slim thicc with no ass is the new shape of choice
The Look Ashton Sanders was wearing is, according to Modern Gurlz, actually a nod to a uniform worn by the Buffalo Soldiers!
kim in that dress is such a flop and such a strange choice considering the way she already killed in the mugler dripping wet dress in an earlier gala! that dress is very similar to marilyn's, but actually complimented her and was a MOMENT
God I’m pretty sure mugler has done stuff with bustles that would’ve been great
I fully agree with your opinion on Kim. She knew damn well she wasn’t on theme, she just wanted to flex. Ugh so played out.
No, she wants people to talk, thats all 😂
No class
She has no class. Just money but zero class. God that family disgusts me so much.
100% agree that Marilyn Monroe’s dress is a cultural artifact & should not have been allowed to be worn (by anyone).
Exactly if someone had worn Elvis or Kurt Cobain or John Lennon. It's wrong.
Cancel the Kardashians
Couldn't agree more! The fact the Met Costume Institute's remit is the preservation of historic garments makes this doubly wrong - I would certainly hope that they felt embarrassed by this shameful attempt to re-appropriate this dress' iconography at the sake of its true conservation. It's obvious the dress' new owners (Ripley's) are not invested in its preservation, rather than making a buck out of their commercial exhibitions.
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants! Have a blessed day, everyone!!! ❤
@@etsu5564 Can u say that in english ?
Blake looked phenomenal and is always the showstopper! No need squeeze herself into precious vintage garments…
I think Ahston Sanders outfit was on theme. Drawing inspirations from American Buffalo soldiers during the Civil war was thoughtful and genius
I will never get over the fact that Anna Wintour consistently misses the mark. And considering the fact that she's the one who has to approve of all of the looks before the met, no wonder that there's always so many people who show up looking bad.
I feel like she just doesn’t care anymore. I think a new fresh face with new ideas should take the lead.
So true!
@@retawilliams5296 I completely agree. Maybe having somebody different in charge would bring fresh ideas and make the met gala more exciting again.
These looks are approved?! ELECTRIC CHAIR
@@Donnie8907 Yeah apparently Anna has to approve every look beforehand
I want to point out that Kim did change into a replica dress after going up the stairs, which I think is still so stupid. Like why not just have a replica made that actually is made for your body and your own skintone? The dress was made to look like Marilyn was naked and was covered in crystals, it was supposed to be a NUDE ILLUSION. Like…
Yes, this! The scandal at the time was the nude illusion after Marilyn removing the fur onstage but we've seen the Kardashians wearing nothing/next to nothing hundreds of times so the shock factor isn't there (plus, it's 2022)
As a person who loves the Gilded Age in history and fashion--you are so on point! These designers had so much to work with, yet ignored every single element they could have exploited to make a serious statement. Thank you for your video.
I agree! They had only to look at photographs of Lily Langtry, The Astors,The Vanderbilts,and even more iconic Lillian Russell. The hourglass 1890s dress would have looked much better on Kim Kardashian than that Marilyn Monroe dress did! I would have loved it someone did homage to one of my favorite authors and playwrights, the incredible Mr. Oscar Wilde!💕
@@mariemorgan7759 someone did! I forget her name, but she wore the huge smoking jacket with the gigantic bow!
@@youdeservethis Thank you for the reply! That sounds great!💕
The only dress I liked and thought was amazing was Blake Lively she looked absolutely stunning and the dress was just breathtaking!
She ate and left no crumbss
The amount of comments asking "why did Kim wear Marilyn's dress?" is exactly why Kim wore Marilyn's dress. Of course she saw it didn't look amazing on her (she knows what works for her like no one else) but she knew this would keep people talking for weeks. The Kardashians live by the moto "bad publicity is still good publicity" and this is how they got so famous. Edit: I think she shouldn't have worn an historical piece too. This is what can happen when you have these pieces at private collections, like the Believe It Or Not Museum. This dress should be in possession of a public museum or an institution ruled by a board or council, like the Metropolitan itself.
I'm not hating but she didn't look good and her hair pulled back it just didn't look good. It was a more for me seeing right thru all them kards. With plastic surgery and a good scam anyone can make it in Hollywood.

I'm so proud of Billie for killing every single one of her Met looks so far. She's starting so strong already and few celebrities can say that.
you're totally right, and like she proves and even a young age, it's literally not THAT hard to kill a theme, you can stay in your style, and even be simple (like last year) and still KILL IT, as long as its on theme it goes further in my book than just a pretty dress. (Imo)
I don’t actually like her dress as much but I do appreciate that it looks interesting! It’s just cool and different even though I wouldn’t have chosen the Mint green 😬
@@valeriealessia6618 I mean I agree, I’m not in love with the dress. But I’m moreso giving her credit for following the theme when few people even did. I guess I think about her peers like Kendall Jenner and other young ladies whose first met gala looks weren’t even on theme. Billie just clearly puts in effort makes it work.
@@cady4917 That she does 😌❤️ and she is on point with it
@samantha ssmith I am aware. When I say "Billie Eilish" or "Kendall Jenner," I refer to them and the team that are tasked with making the look come together. So Kendall Jenner and her team, Billie Eilish and her team. Celebrities are essentially a business run by many people and the business's name is their own name. And it took a team to put it together. And so far the Billie Eilish team is winning. I do think though that it was Kim Kardashian's idea to wear the Marilyn dress for no reason. And even if it wasn't her idea, she had the power to say no.
I've never seen you before, but I loved your down to earth take on everything. I also really appreciated your knowledge about the gilded age. It's sad that these designers have all kinds of resources to learn about the fashions during this historical time, yet still missed the mark so badly.
I had no idea fashion was an actual art form. Your videos are fantastic, I’m so glad I stumbled upon this
My first thought seeing Kim K in the Marilyn Monroe dress was “holy sh*t Kim K being seen in public wearing something that ISN’T Balenciaga. Has the world ended?” My second thought was “its a replica of the Marilyn dress right…? ITS A REPLICA RIGHT?!” I completely agree that dress should not have been worn again - it’s a historic piece for display and preservation in a museum only. What’s next - someone wearing Diana’s wedding dress to the Brit awards…?
I did not even think that it was possible for it to be THE same dress, I also just thought it was a replica, like OF COURSE it is a replica, in fact even when Luke was talking about it I was like "yeah but why are you so offended by it it's a replica..." well turns out it's not and we should all be mad that someone let her wear it.
It kind of reminds me of when Bretman Rock wore the late Aaliyah's dress at the VMA's last year.... :/ It's definitely off-putting and creepy to wear a notable figure's dress just for ✨lewks✨

New rule: the guests are quizzed before walking in and have to explain how what they’re wearing is on theme.
And if they fail they should be sent home 💀🤣

@@sbebb3762 please forgive me but im so confused.
Marilyn wasn’t wearing undergarments with the dress, it looked painted on and it was iconic among other things because she almost looked naked in it. KimK is wearing what looks like full spanx or some sort of corset. She looks like she dressed up like Marilyn for an expensive Halloween party. And I agree THE dress shouldn’t have left the mannequin at the museum. It’s a piece of history. Oh, and it definitely doesn’t reference the theme of the night.
Marlyn was very much wearing undergarments. Did you not notice the pointy boobs of the bullet bra? Or the obvious corset? Kim isn’t wearing period accurate undergarments that’s why it looks strange.
Totally agree!! When I saw pictures of Marilyn wearing that dress it looked like her second skin(if that makes sense) with diamonds around it. And also I don’t get the purpose of wearing it in Met Gala with the theme? Like why? What’s the connection? I just don’t understand. I don’t hate Kim but I just don’t get the connection of wearing this.
@@jen.m.3781 actually she wasn’t wearing a bra. The “pointiness” is the shape of her natural boobs, unsupported or covered by a bra. You can compare it with images from the time and see they look nothing like the “pointiness” of the bras. In any case Kim doesn’t only have the wrong body shape to be wearing that same dress for the same effect, but especially the wrong skin tone. One of the strengths of the dress on Marilyn was that it was so close to her skin tone it looked like she had just sprinkled diamonds on. Kim should have worn a new dress in a toastier shade to create the same effect.
She looks nothing like the original.
I hope it was a replica of the original. Kim k missed the whole point of the dress anyway The skin tone has to the same as the dress
I love your whole critique, spot on. Your knowledge of fashion history mixed with a discerning eye... Thank you! Also, while I agree KK is an abomination, whomever was responsible for loaning her Marylin's dress should be held accountable. You are right, it's an artifact, a museum piece, and should be protected, not loaned out to be sweat on.
The host, you are absolutely hysterical, educated, very original and quite likeable. I came across your channel by accident and am so glad that I did. You're a hoot! You definitely know your fashion and I happen to think your checked yellow jacket is absolutely stunning, good job!
Luke’s absolutely right - Marilyn Monroe’s dress should be in an archive, not on Kim Kardashian. Whoever let that happened should be sacked. It just seems like a power play on Kim’s part. Hey, everyone! Look what I can do with my money and power! 🤮
Kim knew it would get her the most attention and could care less about it being disrespectful. Anything for attention!

Honestly I think Blake won it. She stayed on theme (rare for this one) and her dress was really cool. I like the oxidation effect with the greenish coloring. Hers was my favorite. Also, why am I here? I know nothing about fashion and only know like half of these celebrities. Yet I watched the whole thing.
I am in love with the colors of Blake's dress when it unfurls. I am just enchanted.
Thank you for saying everything I felt about Kim K in Marilyn's dress. I genuinely have nothing against Kim K, but the dress was magic on Marilyn and looked basic on Kim. Completely agree that the dress did nothing for her skin tone, was styled horribly, and didn't fit her right. People need to be careful about stepping into an icon's shoes - 9 times out of the 10, the original was better.
Khlorentals dress was much the same. Just Yucky... Kim wore the original for a photo op but a replica on the carpet...🤮
literally is just looked flat and didn’t stand out
Kim looks like amber rose in this outfit
Not to mention they scrapped rhinestones off putting it on her.
My exact same thoughts I never had anything to say about Kim Kardashian I don't even follow her like that but her wearing Marilyn's dress was just a disservice, you just can't recreated that iconic moment..... Also like Luke say you could ruin the dress with the age it has, I can't even 😫😫😫😫
Also, In my opinion Kim should not have worn the Marilyn dress, even if it was just for the steps and then changed. I don’t care how famous you are, that dress should have stayed in the glass case. It also didn’t match the theme…
@samantha ssmith it's almost 60 years old hun, it'll fall apart if not preserved
@samantha ssmith as Luke notes in this video, it’s an artifact. It should be treated as such, not being a troll just sharing my opinion
It's also funny because Marilyn didn't come from a privileged background so it makes it even weirder. She had alot of issues. Also should have kept the marylin hair and left it black. Who even greenlit the look? That's what I want to know. Kim always looks amazing every year.
@@satansmascara9756 THANK YOU finally someone mentions it🤌🤌
The value must’ve dropped after being worn, especially by Kim, and it was so ill fitting. Just because you got famous off a sex tape makes you the new Marilyn? What ? How disrespectful.

Being that the "Gilded Age" was later given the term as the Pigon silhouette where corsets were worn by both men and women to make the chest and shoulders larger than the waist, i have to say this was the worst showing... PERIOD ! ....With the exception of Billie Eilish who was the only one on target ! There were several textiles that were perfect for the Art Deco period, but not "Gilded" ! Christ, someone could have taken inspiration from "The Tin Man" & "Iron Man" and created an Edwardian Gold Man ! With the creativity shown here, it looks like our planet is entering another dark ages. How sad !
I thought Blake Lively absolutely served. She looked stunning, it played into the theme, AND she gave us the drama with the dress transformation. The coppery gold tones of the dress also kind of played into the "gilded" interpretation of the theme.. Loved it!
And, seeing the statue of liberty, the idea of the oxidation of copper!
and the video where she explains it... She is so cute, it is obvious that she is passionate :)
Definitely! I thought it fit the theme perfectly. The “simplistic” comment has me baffled as she was the best by far!!
@@etsu5564 now is not the time sweetheart
It legit had nothing to do whty the theme.... Statue of liberty was part of the guilded age...
