But like imagine a Vivienne Westwood themed gala? I think it would have been so much more interesting, and she was also super influential and passed recently
key point: passed recently. The met gala theme is the same one as the exhibition. you can't just conjure up an exhibition in two months.
@@giuliad223 That's fair. It would be nice to see someday, though
Or Theirry Mugler
LITERALLY i wanted this to be the theme so bad
I was thinking the same thing- I think it would be such a good theme, maybe in a few years lol
When I’m more excited for Mina’s review than the actual looks.
fr
same tho lmao
Same
I was just waiting for this 😂
Most of all I'm excited for Mina's looks in the videos
I liked Doja Cat and Jared Leto's outfits solely for the fact that they led me to learning about Choupette
same!! lovely cat :))
Karl Lagerfeld gave Choupette to Baptiste Giabiconi because it was said that they were a bit more than friends, allegedly :) She is such a beautiful cat. Karl photographed her in several hand-made outfits, he loved Choupette so much!
Same
same
I guess that's cute but it was ugly
This year’s theme felt like a huge marketing campaign for Chanel. Although I love some pieces it was very weird to see fashion houses and designers literally design pieces for their competitor??
top designers are passed around fashion houses like a blunt. they don’t see others as competitors
Most are owned by the same people lvmh and kering ( not channel)
@@goldenfriedrice217not a blunt 😭🤣
@@rahbeeuh they may be passing some blunts. And for that I say yay
@@kaydeedid 😂
As soon as I seen the met gala looks I was like “I can’t wait to hear Mina’s thoughts”
LITERALLYY i googled met gala straight after i got off work and was early 😍
minas fans be working faster than the youtube algorithms⚡️
Same here
Sameeee
girl when i tell you i clicked on this video so fast!!!
I really like ModernGurlz's idea that they could've done a "Momento Mori" theme since the industry has lost so many influential creators in the last 5 years. A night to allow people to honour not just one, but multiple different designers such as Virgil Abloh or Vivienne Westwood for example. It would've allowed for a lot more variation.
Exactly! Don't forget Kate Spade.
Also Valentin Udashkin and Vyacheslav Zaicev
Yess! It would have been more interesting and fun -IF they actually follow the theme lol
also issey miyake!
totally! that’d would’ve been so good and innovative
For Sydney Sweeney her skin, while having some pink undertones, is more tanned and almost orange (not in a tacky way) which I think is why her dress looks so much better on her. The dress may be nude colored, but it isn’t an exact match to her skin tone so it doesn’t wash her out, she looks more like a light sunset than just one monotone block.
totally agree, i also feel like the tone of the nude she was wearing was doing wonders for the look, over all warmer and a touch deeper than the other nude looks
yes her look had a soft warm tone
I really liked Sydney's look but the black bow wasn't my favorite. It does make her look pop but I'm curious how her dress would look either without it or a different color bow
I can't wait for this "I cannot be bothered to style my hair" red carpet trend to stop.
Doubtful it'll stop any time soon
Right. Us gen z seem to be so obsessed with 90s “blowouts”, the “Pam anderson bun” and long, “clean girl” hair so im hoping that more gen z actors and the younger millennials on the rise will change this around.
Men like Bad Bunny, Conan Gray, Taika Waititi and Pedro Pascal slayed. They tried something different and I love that
Nah bad bunny’s outfit was mid at best especially when compared to his last year look. Best male looks were from Conan Gray and Brian Tyree Henry
Pedro Pascal didn't nibble...
pedro pascal outfit was mid…
Harvey Guillén!! His look was so good and he has great fashion outside of the Event as well!
Yes! When i saw Tailka’s outfit i thought i’d be seeing it everywhere, but no ones talking about
“They just make new famous people up every year.” My sentiments exactly.
There's the news of Glen Powell and Gigi Paris splitting and my thoughts exactly
Maybe, but if making met gala themes centered around designers helps lesser-known designers get the spotlight/credit for their works I don't mind. There were definitely good designers eclipsed by Carl. Why can't these underrated fashion designers have a chance to shine???
Damn the Kardashians always make expensive clothes look cheap. Big YIKES.
right i remember that’s how she ruined marilyn’s look 😭 horrendous!
I like that kendall went for the bodysuit thing because hardly anybody was doing it, but yeah, it just didnt give anything special
@@donghye1004 your opinion. General consensus was that she rocked it. Was only worn 15 minutes on the red carpet. The facsimile dress they had made was worn during the gala
@@kaydeedidgeneral consensus? Man I must’ve been on the wrong side of the internet bc all I heard for months was disgust over her wearing the dress.
@@samikay626 for real! sorry if i offended anyone, i mean it’s not the look necessarily that i thought was bad it’s just the fact she had to wear the original piece of history to get the point across when she’s obviously rich enough to get herself made an exact replica
the menswear looks this year were honestly so good. i wish you mentioned more because they did not come to play, i personally found more mens looks to be more memorable than some of the women's. conan gray specifically with his pearl embellished suit and fan was a gorgeous look.
conan gray looked soooo good and nobody is talking about it
fr, I was looking for the Conan comments
Yeah, lots of well dressed men. My boy Shai Gilgeous Alexander put It ON. First Team All-NBA and first team All-MetGala.
yesss some of them were actually so good for once
Frfr I lovedd Conan's outfit it looked so good
Surprised you didn't mention any of the Thom Browne looks like Jenna Ortega or Bella Ramsey. I think that whole group was stunning and incredibly on theme as a whole with a really interesting mix of celebs.
I wish more people were talking about Bella. Bella, Jenna and Shai Alexander were my top 3
Yep, everyone who wore Thom Browne absolutely nailed it. And honestly there were some great looks here? Especially the menswear. I'm a little annoyed that everyone seems to be panning it.
I think a lot of commentators are rushing to get their 2023 met gala review posted and not taking the time to truly consider all the looks 😶 there's a lot of thoughtful commentary left unsaid
@@sophiejones3554 and choi sora
Literally, just mentioned this! They had the best assembles.
If they can do this for Karl, I hope we'll get Vivienne Westwood theme one day
Totally! I love her.
I wonder if the Met thinks that the Punk theme from a few years ago is too recent to do Vivienne Westwood alone (at least for a few more years) as that was largely (but not wholly) inspired by her
YESSS
alexander mcqueen as well
Hope so, too
DojaCat went Cats(2019) with it, and Leto went furry convention
LMAAAOOO
And nas went straight THOT!
Don't disrespect Doja Cat like that 😭
both better than lil nas x
@@rahbeeuhshe did it to herself
I realized afterwards that all my favorite looks this year were all designed by Thom Browne. He got the theme and every celebrity wearing his outfits looked amazing.

@@uMaud not at all ,if I can be a light even just as they read the text I wrote it’s worth it
With those glasses Mina is serving a head editor of a fashion magazine who got too drunk the night before with Donatella so she has to wear gigantic glasses to the meeting in the morning, but like everybody can tell, so everyone is gossiping about her near the office water cooler.
Spot on
😂😂😂
I feel like Anok Yai’s outfit isn’t talked about enough. It was my absolute FAVORITE
If I’m not wrong, the white wedding dress became more of a thing bc queen Victoria got married in white and everyone was like “holy shit, she’s on to something!”
I’m pretty sure Rihanna wasn’t thinking of the conservative idea of white dresses and pregnancy.. right?
What did people use to wear for weddings?
@@KZheaduser10873usually just very expensive rich fabrics. So pretty much any color you wanted, even black apparently
@@KZheaduser10873 Blue used to be the most popular wedding dress colour before Queen Victoria got married in white. Blue historically symbolised purity in Western culture (think of how the Virgin Mary is often depicted in blue in Western art), so the idea was the same.
@@KZheaduser10873 Upper classes: rich, embroidered, brocaded and jewelled dresses, the fancier the better. Lower classes: the best/least damaged piece of clothing you owned, and maybe some flowers from the market.
Imagine if the carpet was turquoise??? That would look SOO GOOD in contrast with all the black and white outfits
Not really fashion related, but the opening night/press night of Eurovision has a turquoise carpet, and there will probably be some great outfits, and probably also some spontaneous singing. Highly recommended. It's on the 7th of may (this sunday)
@@rosedeath9731 thanks for reminding me, I'm quite a Eurovision fan, but I never know about these accompanying events on time
@@rosedeath9731ooo that's exciting, thanks for telling us, i might actually watch:)
Gosh, the panic in every celebrities and their teams when they see a turquoise carpet 😂 that would be funny
Hate hate hate teal shades, please no
Surprised you didn’t talk about some of the mens looks, they actually stepped it up this theme!
Taika Waititi! He delivered
conan grey was stunning
@@solaramazin3704 yes
bad bunny's was so hot
Quanna Chasinghorse killed it though!! Meshing her native culture with the theme while sending explicit vibes of 'fuck Lagerfeld!' Obsessed!! 😭😭
Truly a power move ❤
Hasn't this been debunked? I keep hearing how people wore pink as subtle shade, but he actually designed in pink all the time, like whole collections of pink. She looked awesome, but I'm not sure it was an intentional diss as so many people have implied. Has she actually made a statement backing up this take? Because I couldn't find anything like that while I was looking into it.
@@TheBizzle1984 nah people just like to make stuff up in their heads to make themselves feel better😂
@@TheBizzle1984 they just want to make their fav artist look good. "viola davis wear pink cause karl hate pink omg she's so mother"💀💀 "my fav artist didn't attend the met gala cause they hate karl omg slayy" 💀💀
@@TheBizzle1984 He used pink in his designs because it was his job (and it made sells, duh).. He's quoted as saying "Think pink, but don't wear it." So people choosing to WEAR pink was, yes , likely shady as hell!
1. Doja Cat captured the energy of not just cats but that specific cat that look is gorgeous 2. Anna Hathaway’s dress is so sexy when I saw it I said “Anna Hataway just reminding me I’m also attracted to women” but this dress is such a gorgeous marriage of Versace and Chanel it might be my favorite of the night. Her hair giving a nod to Chanel muse Bardot was also so clutch she fully understood the assignment. 3. Black velvet on the Kim dress would have looked sick af 4. I feel like no one talks about how well Cardi does camp!! 5. I love how sweet that gown under Rhianna’s cape is and Asaps outfit is so great!
You should’ve included Anok Yai’s outfit, it was so beautiful. She looked like a fairy 🧚🏾♂️
Anok Yai was the best dressed there
@@mariama1735 !!
@@mariama1735 absolutely!!!
Her outfit was pretty but it didn’t fit the Chanel theme. Neither Chanel nor Lagerfeld ever designed anything like that.
@@Ifailedeverything actually it does, chanel does this thing with flowers, and her dress had that specific kind of flower
WE NEED MINA AT THE NEXT MET GALA
Can we start a petition?
@@sarah-phillips i think we must just need to!
We need Mina and Emma vibe together.
Nah she would be snatching everybody’s wigs with a gorgeous, well-thought-out, outfit. That's when you'll start questioning who the real celebrity is.
That’s what I’m saying!!! Mina would absolutely serve!
Would you ever consider talking about the fashion in The Hunger Games, how it’s used to show the discrepencies between the Capitol and the districts, and how it’s a reflection on society today, e.g. the extravagancy of The Met Gala?
Such a good idea!
I’ve seen so many ppl make the comparison between the hunger games and moder day fashion and it just makes me laugh. Fashion has always been extravagant , either in today’s world or the Victorian era or the Middle Ages. It’s nothing new and it doesn’t have anything to do with society other than the fact that it was always a clear way to differentiate between ppl who have money and ppl who don’t. ( excuse my English)
fashion has always been like that
@@yasminaziz4802 no I agree! I just think the hunger games is a good reflection of that part of fashion, and it’s something that a lot of people are talking about right now which would make it more relevant
@@mccperin I know!
"There were no sexy looks this year" Mina, Lil Nas X literally showed up covered in glitter in a thong lmaooo
Love that for him 😍
being naked doesn't mean sexy😅
@@blue______was he not sexy / hj
There's a huge difference between being sexy and just being vulgar...
Can we take a moment to appreciate Mina's magnificent outfit? She's looking gorgeous and on theme!!
Yes! I was thinking she did better than most of the gala attendees... love it! ❤
Yes her outfits are always so pretty ✨🥰

Imagine if it was a Mugler theme 🥵 now that would have been amazing. Also weird how Karl’s “muses” like Lily rose Depp didn’t even show….
God I would love a Mugler theme
Omg yes it would be so beautiful
Very odd that lily wasn't there. She has worn Chanel to the met twice. I kind of wonder if she didn't like Karl. She first met him when she was a child...
@@puffball4484 made me wonder too!
maybe she wasn't invited
Currently watching the holy trinity of met gala reviews: mina, modern gurlz and haute le monde
Personally I'd make it a holy quadrology and include imuRgency
@@afoolishfopdoodle3284yesss
Harvey Guillén and Pedro Pascal had two of the best looks of the event imo, I'm surprised they weren't even mentioned here. Of the looks that were mentioned, Cardi B was the standout for me. Impeccably executed. Also would've been cool to hear you mention how much Lagerfeld hated pink and how a bunch of celebs showed up in pink in defiance of that, which I loved.
finally someone mentioning this!
Loved Harvey Guillén
Has Cardi B ever shown up to an event and looked NOT stunning? Genuinely asking, wouldn't be surprised if the answer is no
But he designed in pink all the time. He had whole collections of pink clothes. Maybe he personally didn't wear it, but he used it in his designs all the time. So much so that it's considered a classic Chanel colour.
@@TheBizzle1984 yeah I don’t think it was as much of a serve as people are thinking it was lol
Ugh the Hatha-naissance is going SO GOOD. There's something in her hair/makeup lately that is just transcendentally good. It's like her face aged into her confidence and I'm loving it.

Thom Browne came, saw and conquered. His custom outfits on the different participants (Jenna, Janelle, Olivia and others) were so amazing.
God, Janelle's look was so nice
Even Daniel Ricciardo who had "just a suit" looked stunning and stood out from other men
Yess, he worked out, so many iconic looks, Sora Choi also
OMG YES Dua Lipa's hair made me so mad, she could've looked amazing with that hat. Everyone was loving her whole look but to me it looked so mid.
My favourite looks were definitely Lil Nas X, Pedro Pascal, Harvey Guillém, and Kristen Stewart. They all looked like they were having so much fun with the clothes.
Lil nas didn't wear any clothes 💀
I'm so glad someone actually enjoyed lil nas X like yeah sure it's a little goofy but I think the fit goes hard asf 😭
@@sporkzzzwhat fit? He was wearing panties and spray paint with diamonds incrusted.
@@7Mushrooms7 🙊
@@sporkzzzit fit his persona imo 😅 very creative choice on his part
i think it would have been so fun to hear your thoughts on the men’s wear this gala! i personally think this was the strongest met gala for men in a looooong time 😛
Yessss ASAP and Bad Bunny we’re up there for me
Jacquemus killed it for Bad bunny
Exactly! I’m so disappointed that she didn’t talk about it.
The men killed it this year!
So glad that the men's outfits slayed this year
One thing that is annoying me is the people giving brownie points to celebrities for wearing pink or wearing silhouettes "Lagerfeld wouldn't like". Like these celebrities did nothing except wear a pretty outfit to an event in his honor. Lagerfeld didn't hate pink as much as Twitter users seem to think he did. One of them even suggested that he hated bridal gowns and suggested that Dua was making a statement...
Thank you!
Declining to come would make a statement, wearing something he wouldn't like means zilch.

Exactly! In fact when he was still alive he had a Chanel show where the chosen Chanel bride wore pink.
@@littlefoxx333 Karl was a classless terrible human being that doesn't deserve being celebrated.
YES! Finally, someone talking about the lack of accessories. I don't understand what's going with celebs nowadays not using jewelry on the carpet anymore, but with this theme, there was no excuse for not using it and I kinda wished to see so many pearl necklaces, especially because Karl was never one to shy away from wearing costume jewelries
Modern Gurlz channel was so frustrated by that too!
Exactly what I was thinking! Ofc you'd think of pearls when talking about Chanel but in the 90s, Karl put gold chains (with pearls) literally everywhere so it would have been totally on theme. Also, many outfits with dresses desperately needed jewellry especially around the neck
It's like with some of these looks they came with extra pieces and the pieces were not used as inspiration for anything new nor were any of the original pieces used in any form, and then some of them the stylist completely neglected their hair even though that makes absolutely no sense, people in there may only have one job, one job, and they effed it up
maybe it is because of economy? I mean: those diamonds etc was worth millions of dollars - even borrowing that jewelry would cost small fortune (insurance etc)
I was also expecting more jewelry and accessories. So many missed opportunities
Can please we bring up how Thom Browne and pretty much all of their outfits slayed. I really enjoyed all of their different takes on suits and the patterns they used in them worked out really well.
My favorite met gala look was Anne Hathaway’s Versace dress. The motif was so clear, she got the assignment.
We need a 2nd part with Billie, Jennie, Lil Nas, Bad Bunny, etc.!!!

@@rauda1059 😂😂😂😂
And Quannah!
yes!!!
Jennie serving nothing 😍
A lot of the outfits that were pink and/or exaggerated curves where in reference to the many times Karl Lagerfeld stated that he hated pink and that "no one wants to see curvy women". Cardi B and I'm pretty sure Ashley Graham's looks were an example of that. So were Grace Elizabeth, Harvey Guillén Quannah Chasinghorse, Lizzo and Kela Walker. I was surprised not to see that mention.
I personally think karl's dislike of pink has been super over-emphasized in the media. he designed many pink outfits throughout his career and naomi campbell, a longtime friend & collaborator of karl, wore pink last night as well. unless any celebrity says outright that they were protesting, i think it's probably giving them too much benefit of the doubt and taking away from celebs like jameela jamil who has vocally and persistently called out the met for their karl exhibition and who wasn't in attendance.
^^ second prt of the reply is very key
What are you talking about? Cardi b look wasn't very curvy by her standards, the masculinity also played a major role in uncurving cardi.
Quannah Chasinghorse praised Karl Lagerfeld in her interview. Most if not all of these people were not making any kind of statement, they were just wearing a pretty outfit to an event in his honor.
@@paulindec Karl said Heidi Klum was "too fat" to be on a runway, so I'm guessing most women were too fat for him
i absolutely loved jenna ortega’s look and i think it needs to be talked about more!!! it was iconic and was a gorgeous silhouette
I like how mina dressed on theme for this, the pearls, the tweed, slay :)
So happy to hear Mina talking about how problematic Karl was in the first minute of the video ❤
i'm actually tearing up, the lack of attention it's gotten by every reviewer has hurt so much. i knew i could count on Mina
Why is the mainstream fashion industry like that lmao such b*tchiness all the time omg
She only did it so y’all stay off her ass.
@@cfbg lol shut up
She did it bc it needs to be said. So many commentators last night said a casual "controversial" footnote and moved along. It'd be incoherent and shortsighted for KZhead reviewers to not mention the problematic sides of this designer

I think my biggest issue with a lot of the looks was the hair or the accessories or lack thereof. I think a lot of people forget just how much hair contributes to a look. I would’ve loved if Nicole had a lot more volume to her hair with some bouncy curls like she did in the ad.
God I can't with the waivy hair, i m talling about the brushing on each sides of the face. It's not that flattering and boring as hell. We re not in 2010 anymore !!
@@azenorperesse4830 it wasn’t giving at all. How you style your hair really affects a look. I don’t know why they all seem to have some issue with wearing their hair up.
One of the things I love the most of your videos is that they feel like conversations I'd have with my besties while also learning something new in every single one of them, tysm Mina
Okay but Mina’s outfits are constantly so beautiful and put together and it’s honestly something I look forward to every episode
Somebody called the olivia wilde's dress a maxi pad and I haven't been able to get that image out
AHHHH THE WAY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, not me being more excited for Mina’s outfit and her opinions on the gala looks than the event itself 😭
Honestly couldn't tear my eyes off Mina's outfit in this video....... the glasses and the makeup and all the pearls daymn!! 😍
This year's Met Gala review of yours was fantastic, Mina! Great work! Keep it up, girl! Honestly, you should be the nest Met Gala, hon! You'd rock it with what you would, especially with how you dress, man! You're absolutely killing it on this channel! I love it, you deserve your over 1 million subs on your channel! Amazing! You're almost up to 2 million! You can get there, keep going!

My favorite male look of the night (if not all-time) was FORSURE brian tyree henry. he just looked so extravagant and ate up the theme so effortlessly…i’m obsessed.
It's not talked about but I really Love Sora Choi's look. I think it really display the Chanel Tweed aesthetic yet still remain so elegant and feminine, she just looked so good!
I was hoping you would talk about Lil Nas X's look. The white cat theme used so differently between three guests was entertaining and very meme-able. Harvey Guillen was my FAVORITE. Having a body that Karl Lagerfeld hated and showing up in a beautiful soft pink tux/dress combo is bold. And Harvey looked so happy in it!
The carpet is made by a brand (Neytt by Extraweave) based in Kerala, India. It is made of fibres from the bark of agave plants making it very sustainable. It was hand painted in the U.S., a process that took 60 days. I fully agree the carpet colors might not have been the best choice for complimenting the theme but let's not brush away the effort behind it:)
all that work and it still gave nothing
@@taloussuklaa harsh but 100% true.
They coulda still made the carpet red and not washed out half the atendees, especially knowing Lagerfeld's long history with black and white clothing. The good intentions don't excuse the lackluster execution, especially for such a big event.
In that case I hope they don't just toss the carpet like they usually do, all that work for one-time use...
There was clearly efforts behind it but the design could have been made more suitable for the event.
I think the last time a Met gala actually caught my full attention was when the theme was "camp". After that idk what happened but my interest has dwindled but I often find my way here to watch Mina's commentary afterwards. Congrats Mina on surpassing a million subscribers!!! Honestly well-deserved 🎉🎉
I dont really watch these type of videos, but the way mina le talks about these type of things really gets me interested. I look forward to watching her videos more.
I love all the accessories Mina is wearing! I wish more of the attendees had really gone OTT with the costume jewelry. It would of read more Lagerfeld idk lol (Also I think Vivienne Westwood would be a waaaaay more interesting theme)
Was fully expecting Mina's lovely "Hello my beautiful doves" greeting, and was pleasantly surprised at the "Hello my sweet pearls". As much as I love the usual greeting, I like the little change up 💕
I loved that Kim's shawl was draped to look like two camellias as well, an easy to miss detail. Also that corset style with the dip was used (in the same sort of fabric) in the last schiaparelli collection.
Thank you for the brief and detailed review of Met Gala this year. So informative and inspiring. ✨
Modern gurlz suggested in her met video a theme of memento mori to celebrate all the designers that have passed (who are arguably more deserving of celebrating then Karl) recently to both fix the problematic theme and encourage guests to wear more than archive
yes i just typed that!! mugler, vivinanne such an iconic and should be honerd
Doja Cat is giving Capitol Citizen vibes 😂 love it
Doja's serving! She was like Are you questioning my commitment to this look? Let me just meow my way to all the interviews.
I loved Sora Choi’s outfit, it was more than basic and was giving 200%💗💗 kinda sad it wasn’t really focused in the media. I swear most of the Asian stars at the Met ball were not highlighted at all🙃
shoutout to liu wen, another asian star that deserves way more recognition for her look!
I surely can’t be the only one who heard “Colgate carpets” and thought of the toothpaste😭😭😭
Me too 💀💀
Wait i shouldn't have?? Lol
That's what the carpet was
They are calling it the Colgate carpet cause it looks like the blue red and white toothpaste
that's exactly what it means, isn't it??
tbh I feel like a lot of the men killed it this year! taika waititi looked great, pedro pascal looked great, harvey guillen killed it. I also really liked phoebe bridgers' dress, she looked really nice, understated, I loved bella ramsey's suit as well as stephanie hsu's
I wish she could've gone more into the men's wear as well- there was some great looks from them.
omg!!! the first dress is my fav as well and i felt like no one is talking about it!! im SO GLAD you liked it too
I really enjoyed this; i would have loved to hear you talk about some of the men’s looks this year as there was a lot of fun there compared to previous years.
Halle bailey's look was my favourite! Her stunning dress was designed to look like a mermaid and was covered in scales but her hair was the highlight for me It was very 80's coded. A LITERAL PRINCESS

@@dineshmichael6213 it has to do with your soul! It’s the most important words your ever going to hear . You need Jesus to go to heaven
As someone who is usually a stickler for the theme, I applaud everyone who didn't wear Lagerfeld. Bonus points if they wore pink. Not sure why no one is talking about that moment when Karl posessed a roach and walked the carpet though...
“possessed a roach” IM SCREAMINGGG 😭💀
I guess re-encarnation is fair after all
He said you can't have a me themed gala without me
I'm so glad you brought up Ashley Graham's dress because it's gorgeous and she looks amazing but I feel like no one's talked about it :((( so stunning, definitely my favorite too 🩷
The Choupette backstory is similar to how I got my cat, but mine's weirder. I met a cat when I stayed in a 2-month airbnb and fell in love with the cat, and a year later, I emailed the hosts asking if I could have him. And they said yes. So I drove him from New York to New Orleans and he's the love of my life still, ten years later!
Billie Eilish with her gothic black dress was so good!! the black hair suits her so much, she's been serving the past couple years
Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus🙌🏼
I wonder what he natural hair color is. The black suits her very well even tho she's pale.
@@littlefoxx333 You can look up her pictures when she was little, she's obviously blondy
Honestly I would love a part 2 of this video, there were lots of other worthy outfits!
I second this!
The best thing about the Met Gala is the look you're wearing in this video! Loove that jacket and your pearls! x
Ms. Mina Le, you are beyond a joy to watch. Sending love
Mina really stuck to the theme and I love it! Some of us can’t just pick an outfit from the Chanel archive and call it a day, now can we?
Lol imagine if they did a “Fran Fine” theme, with a red and black carpet to represent her iconic black dress and red bag duo. I am telling you, the looks that could come from that would be ICONIC. Other themes I would die for: 1. Disney 2. Dynasty (the 80s show) 3. Fantasy
Disney is too tacky for the met I think

Ive always believed Disney would make an amazing met gala theme
Disney. I would love that. But like the first comment said it may be considered too tacky. I'd love it though. Or how about pop culture in general, or iconic outfits from movies. A movie costume design theme!I'm a genius lol that would be awesome. When they did the American theme a few years ago I did wonder why there wasn't more references to movies and things like that.
@@littlefoxx333I wondered that too. Like where was the creativity?
I've been so excited to see your review of this year's met
OMG your outfit is giving everything it needs to give. LOVEEEE
The Thom Browne looks ATE. Especially Sora Choi, chronically underrated and under mentioned in all the coverage. Especially with this being her first Met Gala.
"atleast Rihanna showed up" made me cackle 😆
Your makeup is FIRE love the new brow style ♥️
okay but mina u look GORGEOUS in that outfit omg💖💖
Mina! Please do a part two with the men's looks!
Seriously?? She didn't do the men?
I loved Anok Yai and Sora Choi outfits !! They looked amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed a break from my sahm to listen to your take on the met gala’s fashion moments, ty.😎❤️
Anne Hathaway's look is stunning. I am REAL picky and I'd wear it. It combines elements I tend to do myself; mixing elegant,classic fabrics and cuts mixed with something more grunge (the cuts and safety pins)
the lack of foresight about the carpet when it was obvious most people would show up in B&W (name one person more allergic to color than karl lagerfeld) was awful. that said, my favorite looks of the night were the thom browne designs, i felt like he incorporated karl's essence on his own style, also the guys weren't wearing just boring black suits, so kudos to that
Mina, moderngurlz, and haute le mode: my holy trinity of fashion yt
I will say, on your topic of confusing season outfits, in places like Central Texas where the weather is unpredictable and ridiculous during our spring/fall seasons, it's honestly fun/practical to create silly blending fits like this. You see it all the time when you go out to shows, the locals mixing and matching seasonwear like opera gloves, masks, long skirts, harnesses etc cuz it's the only weather that would permit something like that.
Love your commentary always!
