ADDISON RAE IS BACK AND STILL CAN'T FOLLOW THE THEME (MET Gala 2022 Roast Pt. 2)
The 2022 MET Gala has over 140 looks that we thought it would be important to discuss so welcome to the second round of looks that deserve a roast and review! While the MET Gala theme of "Gilded Glamour" might have been discarded by quite a few guests, there was still a pretty decent amount that followed the theme through nuanced and enlightening looks. From Cynthia Erivo's Louis Vuitton Tignon to Denée Benton & Ashley Park in Prabal Gurung bustles the theme was definitely followed. And even controversial looks like Cara Delevigne and Chloe Grace Moretz might have actually been on theme too, depending on how you look at the period in context.

I can’t help but think if I had their money I would totally crush all met galas.
Well you not really in control, celebrities just represent designers
@@alice-_-6305 so they don't choose which designer? They're not involved in the process of influencing the designer of what they want?
@@j.d.564 Some of them are more involved than others but many of them aren't. It's all about their stylist and what designer they're working with. Also what dresses the designer will send them. Most of these clothes don't belong to the celebrity/not bought. It's sent by the brands for them to wear. I think sometimes they send several opinions and the celebrity and stylist choose.
@@7Mushrooms7 right. You contradicted a few of your own points and I'm afraid, you didn't add anything to what I've said.
@@7Mushrooms7 i mean, designers (f.e alessandro michele) and anna wintour, people who have all the resources in the world, didn't follow the theme. what do we expect from other people, really.
“We have to stop letting hot people just be hot.” No but ur absolutely right, this is why the Met Gala sucks most years. If ur not gonna give us anything, just drop a check and go home
I agree.😃
And start bullying them 😂
I really want them to work it out, but I'm starting to believe these themes are too incomprehensible for the clear majority of these people.
I still don’t understand why she’s even invited
@@sentosacoThat's why they have stylists. That's their job.
Maybe I'm naïve, but I would be SO embarrassed showing up to an event like this wearing a ridiculous outfit that doesn't fit the brief
Why would they it’s on the designers they’re just publicity too
It’s kinda great to see the different side of this😂🤣instead of good fashion
u say that but shows like project runway and stuff also give briefs to designers only for them to interpret them in many different ways and its always hit or miss unless you have enough intelligence or experience
Same. They only have one rule to follow, staying on theme, and even with all the money of the world and the help of the absolute elite of fashion creators of the world they fail.
Its not just you! Literally every early 2000s movie was about the quirky uncool girl getting invited to a party and getting told the wrong theme and getting made fun of and laughed out of the party.
“We have to stop letting the hot people just be hot. We have to start bullying them.” Iconic.
If that's taken out of context, sounds like a high school revenge flick.
As disappointing as everyone just ignoring the theme is, I am even more disappointed in just how drab and boring all the looks were. I remember times when the Met was all avant garde and looks that pushed fashion and was an opportunity for designers to show off lavish and incredible looks. I wouldn't care about the theme as much if there was anything even interesting to look at. People are pushing fashion on every red carpet these days and so designers need to REALLY step up their game for this night. Fashion's 'greatest' night? Not anymore.
I agree completely! The Met Gala is like Christmas for us fashion enthusiasts and it should definitely be that for designers as well. The Met Gala used to feel like when you were a kid and you knew you were about to unwrap a present you knew you asked for months ago and now it’s like “ oh great grandma got me another pack of socks for the 11th year in a row” 😂
i totally get what you mean but tbh, the met gala has always had those celebs showing up who never bothered to follow the theme and really bland fits. like consistently, *almost* every dude shows up in the most boring black suit. it’s only the small handful who actually follow the theme and do a good job like rihanna, blake, etc.
@@xpooja78 honestly that’s very true! Which is so disappointing bc like y’all have the money to reallyyy step up and make a statement and they always let us down!!!
@@alaynaheinline1921 i mean i really am in no position to play fashion critic, but so many celebrities show up with no regard for the theme 😭 like imagine if people like mina le, luke, and actual people who understand fashion got to go to the MET?
@@xpooja78 YESSS I AGREE!!! Mina Le and Luke would STUNT! 🔥🔥 the day they are there is the day I will gain more respect for the Met!
The Met Gala is so incredibly disappointing, why is it soooo hard for these designers and people with endless money to spend not seem to stay on theme, not even close, it's frustrating, I hate it 😕 Love your reviews though, you always kill it❤️❤️❤️
Because the designers don't want to stay on theme they want to sell next seasons collection.
It’s basically their chance to showcase their style n brand on celebrities at met ball where fashion focused
Honestly the vibe i get is that all press is good press and it’s easier to get attention being the WORST dressed than it is being the best dressed
Right? Rumor is they are going to start requiring that outfits be approved beforehand… my question is just who will be doing the approving? Because if it’s Anna Wintour, she has looked horrible at every single Met Gala since like 2012.
@@wwaxwork good point, haven't thought about that
The designer for Michael Kors said initially that he did not follow the theme and just wanted to make timeless pieces (that's really subjective too), I didn't like that at all. If you don't like the met, then don't design clothes for that event, but clearly he is doing it for the money. Even H&M did better and followed the theme. He is not superior, he is simply showing his lack of versatility as a designer
the h&m wasn’t on theme though
“We have to stop letting hot people just be hot, like we have to start bullying them” agreed.
In what minute?
@@pt7476 around 17:15 about Bradley Cooper
I've been seeing a lot of Old Hollywood Galmour™ looks and I think people seriously mixed up the Gilded Age and the Golden Age of Hollywood....which I just can't even process.
That’s what I think Kim K went for 🙄
Thanks for this! I couldn’t figure out why so many people were wearing things with 1920s references. It seems like very few people did any real research 😳
It was gilded age in America continued from part 1 theme
Thats what I was thinking in the last video, surely they were thinking of the 'golden age'.
@@GG100ghp these people clearly did not take advantage of the Google before attending
Omg Luke actually putting up a Part 2 which he promised? We stan this character development moment🤩
I think it would be funny if the designers and stylists were gaslighting these “influencers” like yea this is IT you are the moment 🙃
looking at the behind the scenes alot of staff were always complimenting these influencers like lmaooo they just getting their payroll and that's it
I mean, they are 💀
Oh lord that’s sad cuz they’re makin their own Image bad
Honestly it would be valid. Influencers literally think they’re celebrities now.
Had to read it twice but maybe so!

No one has mentiond Bad Bunny. I was surprised he hit the theme so much more than most women did.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@@deebell8727 Bad Bunny was mentioned in part 1 🙂
Luke I have to say- the section about Cynthia and the tignon brought tears to my eyes! I didn’t know anything about this look and must have missed it, but she looked so incredible and the respectful, insightful and beautiful way you talk about black people and our culture is something I have always appreciated about you. Thank you for always including us in your retelling of fashion history!! ❤️
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tignon
I love that you did not give the "but the costume is gilded!" people an inch. it's just like you said, that's a lazy connection. Why can't they just look up what a Gilded Age gown looks like?
Lazy
Why did the celebrities bother to show up in an embarrassing modern dress? The designers are also to blame.
It feels like the hunger games fashion edition. Like they had 24 hours to figure out what to wear as the themes were given within that time fame... Maybe just maybe that's why the themes aren't fully followed
It’s a charity event the celebs get publicity it’s a fun night the theme gets take very lightly becomes more about designer fashion
@@deniseberman8633 the theme is for inspiration, it's not a costume party
I wish HauteLeMode could host next MET Gala and stop every celebrity at the entrance for the dresscode. "Oh honey what is that? Ok honey bye, you obviously didn't get the theme. AGAIN"
honestly, that'll be iconic ✨
NEXT PLEASE
Thank you.. Next!
I feel like a lot of people who attended this year mixed gilded with golden and thought the theme was the golden age (of hollywood). That would explain all the weirdly 1950s/movie star esque inspired looks? Also, I'm certain many people attending were styled by other people who, as people in fashion, should have known what the gilded age is?? strange
Don’t the stylists have knowledge of fashion history? Not that some weren’t beautifully made and did have some quirky subtle references but I just felt they’re could’ve been more fantastic, over the top designs. That era produced, bustles, gorgeous fabrics, embroidery, details ruffles, bows, jewels, etc. But a twenties flapper, nope or that cheap looking silver and black Tiger gown. Ugh!
Honestly, I just think that they didn’t really think about the theme at all
Dove Cameron's dress has almost a stomacher, it's just dropped low and that swag of "fabric" underneath it references the skirt- on-skirt, swag look of the period. This dress should be acclaimed as much as Blake's.
so many comments were saying she wasn’t on theme!
I'm so curious about the mechanics of it all....how are the designers/celebs matched up? Who pays? Who keeps? Who decides what item is worn? What if one of the parties doesn't like it? Who gets final approval? Do the celebs actually have any input? Why are some custom made & some not? What if you just want your mom to make your dress cuz you know she'll do a better job? Why can't they stick to the bloody theme?!? So many questions!!
These are questions we need answers to!
watch emma's recent MET prep vlog with Vogue! this might answer some of your answers
My understanding is it depends. If you want to front a ton of personal money you might have more control and more choice. Not all designers do custom looks every year at the met bc it's a huge time and labor commitment and if they are already booked with other clients they may only be willing to open up pieces that have already been made. Most designers limit how many looks they will do so if you want to work with a certain designer and their book is full you gotta have a plan B. They will be more willing to go over the top if you are a big name that will get a lot of press or have an existing relationship with the brand (close friends w designer or an ambassador for the brand). You could have existing sponsorship/ambassadorship deals that prevent you from working with certain designers if they are seen as a competitor. (Think if you're the face of Tiffany's rn you might not be able to wear Cartier just bc they have a piece that you think would better fit the theme!) You are probably only keeping the piece if you paid for it or are close personal friends with the designer and they decide to gift it to you. If you work with a stylist they will probably do a lot of the lifting on lining this stuff up in which case you are relying on their connections to get you with a designer. Blake Lively famously doesn't have a stylist and so she personally pitches ideas for outfits to designers and curates those relationships on her own. A whole industry and structure exists behind the individual celebrities to make this stuff happen. Lots of networking and who you know and how connected your staff/manager/label/etc are plays a huge role in what you are wearing and how much you pay for it. And of course on top of all of this -- just bc they have money/celebrity doesn't mean they have taste, style or even care about how they look at all. (This is just my understanding from personal interest in celebrity and the entertainment industry, so take it with a grain of salt)
@@MissMelon97 thanks for the great explanation!
I am questioning the same things as I'm watching the video
Dude. There are professionals whose job is to make sure these people look on point. How do they manage to not do their homework AND make them look terrible for tons of money. Why am I angry
I honesty blame the MET and the stylists. Why does the MET continue to allow them not to follow. Its a free for all the last two years. I mean cmon. Stylists especially if you have a designer working with you, there is zero excuse
addison raes stylists are really doing her dirty by dressing her with cheap social climber aesthetics lol
like shes literally draped in designer but its giving shein
Its very much 00s grown-up Disney Star Red Carpet.
If she actually dressed for the theme the internet wouldn't be so against her being there lol
She chose the stylists. Its not like she didn't know what their aesthetic was before she hired them
@@hirahi because she does look like a shein girl😶
The look for Dove Cameron is just stunning, i mean Iris van Herpen whit her unique fashion can hit the Met Gala theme in her own style. Like goshhhh why everybody didn't do the same thing. I also waiting for Johnny Suh review, is it just me or people just don't review his looks yet?
I was also hoping for him to talk about Johnny :(
it seems like he’s going in alphabetical order based on first names, johnny will probs be in the next video
@@izarose463 Johnny who?
@@madisonoberg4513 johnny suh, he wore peter do
Yup the duo look with Eva chen
it would've been cool if someone had done a historically accurate natural form style dress in a gold fabric for most of it, but then the skirt under the swags of fabric at the hips was made of something white and dyed to look bloodstained. So it's like a layer of gold over blood.
To make a statement of the wealthy folk hiding thier deeds?
you shoulda been invited
no, bc i am SO convinced i could have crushed this year's met gala. my outfit motif would be inherent vice: in historical clothing preservation, "inherent vice" is when flaws with the materials of a garment or its construction cause it to prematurely decay. this is especially prevalent in gilded age clothing due to their use of weighted silks. in the gilded age, silk was sold by weight, not by yard, so merchants would soak the material in alkali salt, which would let them sell less silk for more money (capitalism corrupts), but the alkali salts would cause the garment to deeply deteriorate over time. i would have worn a dress inspired by an exhibit i saw at the RISD museum on inherent vice while on vacation with some friends of mine. i would also make it fun and sexy by using the "decay" of the garment to incorporate sheer materials and strategic rips. the dress would be a metaphor for the "inherent vice" of the gilded age, which was outwardly opulent but inwardly a rotting pit of human rights violations, and indeed for america itself, which is built on the inherent vices of slavery and genocide. the idea is so obvious i can only assume that no one thought of it because no celebrities saw the RISD exhibit because, as is equally obvious, rich people do not go to providence rhode island for vacation.
You’d pass of this was an assignment lol did I design the look too
And again most celebrities aren’t involved in the designs n just focus on the publicity n their actual jobs if not interested in the theme behind this n fashion itself
Please do this anyway, oh my goodness!
The store behind Cynthia's dress is so beautiful, I felt emotional listening to what black women had to go through, and how they overcame that strife.
Do you mean the story behind the head wrap? The dress was right off the runway from Louis Vuitton, he showed the picture
For such a fun and creative theme - I can’t believe how many designers and celebrities completely missed the part! I hope Vogue become stricter with their dress code. If Cannes can still deny entrance to their red carpet with their (frankly ridiculous) high heel rule for women, why can’t Vogue do the same for a themed event that is meant to showcase fashion as art and an important part of history? Completely ignoring the theme feels a bit disrespectful.
Couldn’t have said it better myself I totally agree
The difference is that the Met needs the coin of the brands
Because not even Anna can follow the theme and she’s the one who approves the outfits
@@alexandre724 true, I guess that goes more into the larger conversation of how the costume institute is the only one of the Met’s curatorial departments that doesn’t get funding as fashion is often looked down upon and dismissed when talking about art - which is why I would love if guests and designers themselves would take the theme seriously
Maybe cuz it’s not strict Anna herself approves it’s like very open theme of America n freedom
People at home should show what they would wear at the Met and make it like a tiktok challenge 👀🔥
YES!!! Just like the tic tok front row challenge!
Damn u right
where tf am I supposed to get a couture gown???
@@Kelly_C Nobody said you had to wear the gown? You could just show a picture/design?
@@emilyesnyman what's the point of it being a tiktok then
Major props for the research and care you put into covering Cynthia Erivo's look. You did well to educate us!
“We need to stop letting hot people just be hot, we have to start bullying them” THAT IS SO FACKED UP BUT SO FUNNY AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Why did Dakota Johnson choose the most over the top occasion of the year to wear her most 😕 blah “outfit” ever!?!
Yes Rachel Lin ! This was just so funny!
Am I the only one that wants a bookshelf tour? 👀 I need to know every book behind him.
I love Erykah Badu's look as a quilt maker. It references crazy quilts, which were precursors to modern patchwork quilts. Crazy quilts were purely decorative. They were meant to show off a woman's needlework skills, hence the complex piecing and frick ton of embroidery and other fancy stiches. Many also feature beadwork. Very interesting example of a luxury textile good from the period.
Erykah's look also references "costumes" worn by formerly enslaved peoples to celebrate 4th of July. A man wearing a very similar outfit is shown in a photo by Doris Ulman who took extensive photos of the formerly enslaved still living on plantations in the south during the 30's.
@@kathyrodriguez3320 Cool. Sharecropping is the direct descendent of slavery. It affected poor white Americans, but it took so many people from 1 broken system directly into another right after they were promised freedom. The end of the Civil War didn't mean everyone's life changed for the better overnight. Most formerly enslaved black Americans stayed on or near the plantations they had been bound to. They often continued to work for the same families/masters. Tl:dr I love the double reference she served in this stunning look.
Quilts and the importance and legacy of quilting within the African American community, culture and tradition make that outfit beautifully subversive and I love it.
Carey Mulligan: thank you. So so happy with this classy, almost simple but still very showy look. The gold chevron bustle was perfection, although maybe a bit bigger? however, this is still the best one yet in either of Luke's videos (minus Sarah Jessica Parker). we do love us some Schiaparelli black and gold;)
Ah, sweet justification of it being my favorite
@@ultraviolettas 😍😍😍
Considering their financial resources and connections to stylists and designers, there really is no excuse for them to fail this hard. If these "celebs" are too cool to follow the MET Gala theme, then just don't attend. Either the MET be more discerning with their invites, or they need to implement some sort of approval system when it comes to the outfit. Otherwise, just dissolve the gala 😤
Camilla Mendez said in her vogue video that her dress made her thinks of a dress from the Gilded Age, the « lightbulb dress » that was worn by Alice Vanderbilt, who was referencing the new invention of that time at a costume party. I think the inspiration would of been more clear if Camilla Mendez took a actual lightbulb to the red carpet, as Alice Vanderbild did at the costume party.
It would’ve been better to add a custom lightbulb accessory
Lightbulb fascinator! It could light up!
It's funny how one can both be fascinated by the Met Gala and yet not care at all... I come here and realized I don't know who 50% of the celebrities are...and I mostly don't care. But am mesmerized by the crazy costumes & hearing your take on it lol
i'm so happy you covered Carey! it was overlooked and she looked beautiful and on theme.
exactly! I enjoyed her look so much, it’s sad that some people called her look basic
This year was such a flop The MET declared that from now on all design/outfits will have to be checked to see if they are on theme prior to attendance🤣😭💀
Omg really?
They are akready approved by Anna that’s the same thing
Hey Luke, I gonna write this for a period just to make sure that you see it: Take care of yourself. Don't adhere to KZhead's crazy posting schedule. You are deep diving on your subjects. Give yourself a breahter and some time. Lots of love!
In fairness to the attendees, I think the sheer number of people who ended up off-theme is proof that Gilded Glamour did not successfully convey "Gilded Age." It's the sort of thing that you could argue the teacher into throwing out in test review, because the question was poorly phrased.
But you have people referencing 1980s ? So they knew it was about American history, yet didn't put much research into it
Another video i watched showed fhe actual e-mail the MET sent - it explained the time frame and even mentioned some trends of the time. So, really no excuse for this mess.
@@stacys8729 Oh, cool! Do you remember the video?
@@Eloraurora I apparently have issues because i looked at my history and watched waaay too many videos, so i couldnt find it. I also heard they had a website where they showed examples too
@@stacys8729 Thanks for looking, anyway. I know how frustrating it is to try to track down random memories.
can't believe jared leto is still being invited to the met gala with all the evidence that he's a massive creep
I'm not in the loop What happened ?
The fact the Met has a theme and people have this amazing opportunity to let out their creative side... And they fail. EVERY YEAR... Pure pain.
Luke, would you mind to comment on the Met Gala 2013 - "Punk: Chaos to Couture"? I know it's almost a decade ago, but I would be very interested in your opinion or rating of the looks. I came across it today through Sarah Jessica Parker's KZhead Vouge video, in which she reviews each of her Met looks from 1995 to today. The theme of "punk meets haute coutoure" made my ears prick up and I think it was a wonderful theme. Do you feel like commenting on old Met Gala looks as well?
I would love to see reviews of past Met Galas
This! Recently i was watching someone that mentioned that particular theme and i, who was only eleven at the moment it happened (so therefore, had no clue), got so excited to know they had done such theme because it had so much potential
@@spideyxalmighty695 unfortunately from a very brief glance at some of the looks, attendees couldn't follow a theme then either...
@@marcellakilgarriff yes, it seems that way, i was so disappointed when i saw the looks, like, it was so damn easy, and such a fun theme too
@@spideyxalmighty695 so much potential and so many underwhelming black dresses...
If these outfits had been in another setting (red carpet, premiers etc) then most of them would’ve been fine. However in the context of this theme…big no. I don’t understand with the money, time and resources how many missed the mark? Edit spelling.
Some of these girls heard Rihanna wasn't coming so they just didn't even try 🤣
Out of all the other reactions/reviews I've seen this is the most researched. You really gave me a newer perspective over few looks and I could appreciate them more.
Was waiting for the Cynthia erivo praise and was not disappointed. Love your reviews and learning about fashion with everyone :))
That bit was definitely my favourite part of the video, really interesting
Lol, Christine Baranski gets a pass, she has to wear Gilded Glamour everyday at work, i'm sure she loves getting to wear the relatively more comfortable menswear on her time off
Cara's outfit wasn't really cultural appropriation. The smoking jacket evolved (from the dinner jacket) once Turkish tobacco products became popularised in Britain during the 19th century, through trade with the Ottomon Empire during the Crimean War (with the British and Ottoman empires allied together and thus dealt in trade). There were also previous iterations of the smoking jacket in Britain prior to this as mentioned by Samuel Pepys, who lived in the 1600's. The Turkish tobacco that was popularised was also originally introduced to the Ottoman by the Spanish from their previous conquests. The only appropriation in this situation was the tobacco brought to Eurasia by the Spanish. There are many instances of true cultural appropriation that we need not convolute the issue by confusing economic trade for appropriation.
I wish he wouldn't immediately say things are cultural appropriation when he does not know how the clothing actually came to be and is not a part of the culture himself. Just because a certain style has it's origin in a certain culture and country doesn't automatically mean it's cultural appropriation to see that style in another culture and country. Cultures have shared, traded and intertwined with each other for centuries, it happens very naturally and that includes clothing.
That’s when u know he not a fashion expert
I would disagree with this as just because something was inspired by another does not mean that it does not belong to that culture. Just like how the Egyptians were colonized and inspired by the Roman’s, things became their culture become of that influence. Influence does not equal possession of cultural inspiration. If something was mainly viewed to belong to 1 country, it is written off by that country’s name. Ofc many things were inspired by one country to another but because this was distinctly known to be Turkish. I believe it is cultural appropriation . Also the fact that she revealed herself afterwards was highly offensive for a nation that is highly influenced by Islam and definitely not representative of the Ottoman culture. As a Turkish person, this is my opinion.
@@zerolahmachun7372 you are misunderstanding how the jacket wasintroduced originally to Britain. Like i said, during the Crimean war both Britain and the ottoman empire dealt on trade, as in we traded goods with each other and not just take away from one end. People need to recognise trade is not only fair but good for both sides. That's why it's called trade. Also, that style was in fashion so long in Europe, and bearing in mind many Turkish people also live in the Balkans (part of Europe and is, itself, at least partly I Europe. As a Turkish person surely you know your own history and geography? But if you want to insist, then I'm sure you are far more upset that, by your standards, Turkey culturally appropriated tobacco from the Spanish and then claimed it as their own.
@@zerolahmachun7372 i am turkish also and turkey is a secular country. I don’t find it at all disrespectful. I didn’t even knew this style of dress belonged to the ottomans. The other commentors tobacca example is dumb af and s/he is giving me turkophobe vibes but yeah just wanted to give my opinion. Ottoman does not really equal turkish also.
“We have to stop letting hot people just be hot… you know what I mean , we have to start bullying them.” ICONIC
Apparently, Camila Mendes was referencing the Electric Light dress worn by one the of the Vanderbilts to a high society ball in the 1890s... but if you know the dress this is even more upsetting. Edit: 1880s???
Wait, really!? The only thing they have in common is the neckline. I am confounded!
@@goblinlibrary280 she confirmed it in an interview. I guess the fringe/tinsel as well? But like, it still completely ignores the ELECTRIC LIGHT part…
This is why it's my least favourite look at the night. So fucking much
It literally has zero in common with it. Blake Lively’s was much more comparable.
Did he see Sabrina carpenter
Thank you for commentary on Cynthia Eviro and shedding a light on the history of the look. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i LOVE how you made me appreciate Amy Shcumers boring frock coat dress into an "ah ha" moment.
Ah hah to not take everything as ugly when u haven’t heard the process behind something lol
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR OPINION ON THE DOVE CAMERON IRIS VAN HERPEN DRESS FOR AGES!!! I live for the illusion of it, it's gorgeous and I'm so glad you think the same.
I love your comments on Iris V H's exoskeleton bustle, and also black women's hair fashion in the gilded age. Well researched, sensitive and spot on.
I love that you're doing this in parts to cover the true depth of the event instead of covering the same 10 people like every other channel does. You should be a professor at FIT! Who knows, maybe you are! I'm not a fashion person but I'm definitely subscribed to *you* !
I think one day you should post what *you'd* wear to the MET Gala. Something you can potentially do is multiple outfits, as to not have to box your imagination. Just wanted to say I'm so glad you exist on KZhead. I like the genuine effort you put into your work, in terms of posting times and true knowledge. I hope your work KEEPS being recognized.
New drinking game: drink every time Luke says “in and of itself” or “essentially”

@@ZijnShayatanica 🤣🤣
speaking of cultural appropriation, apparently the diamonds emma chambie wore were colonial era stolen gems from India!?! so we're just wearing colonial symbols to the met? in 2022?!
Dove's illusion bustle is also kinda like the white wings of... a dove
Her whole makeup hair n styling just her face gives off alien futuristic vibes so the designer did good choosing her
I was hoping you would do a part 2, cause you missed some of the ones I wanted to hear your opinion on. Much appreciated, your way of discussing and dissecting fashion is perfection
OMG you REALLY made a part 2!?!?!! This made my day!!!
Whoa, what a lot of work to provide us all with such a fabulous and deep insight behind the looks. Thanks so much for teaching us all this amazing knowledge!
I’ve been waiting for this video since part one✨ honestly, hearing you talking about fashion in such depth is so soothing to me🖤🖤
Call me impatient, but I've been waiting for this🤩 GIVE THE HONESTY👏👏
loveeee these explanations, the history and deep dives into the looks
Putting the theme thing aside, I really want to see more mature women slaying on the carpet, like Glenn Close.
eleganceeeee
One of my few favorite costumes.
yay we got the part 2 👏👏👏 thank you Luke 🤩
I LOVE that we’re doing so many parts! Yes thank you
I´d realy love to see a themed gala but run by cos-tube. Everyone doing a costumed look, hautelemode live rosting it on the red carpet and the costumes get live auctioned up off for a good cause or something like this. Would be a cool show for sure and definitely more on theme =D
Luke, the fashion algorithm gods sent me to you, and I am now a new subscriber. You had me laughing out loud in your review of the Met Gala attendees! So funny…so acerbic…100% enjoyable. I know nothing about your background, but your knowledge of history and design is impressive. I look forward to catching up on past and future videos!
I’m so happy you posted part 2!
I cannot wait for the other parts!! I love hearing ur take on everything💖💖
I love your content and how passionately you explain( even if some looks give you pain to look at)
I am always astonished by your fashion knowledge and your commitment to research fashion history. And also when you are done with the MET gala review we need an overall best and worst dressed.
I love your videos. They are unbelievably educational and interesting. Thank you for such content 🤩
I learned so much in this video, as usual Luke! So eloquent and I can only dream of being so educated in fashion history I would love to see you bring back your styling series, that was so much fun!
I would have been obsessed with a look (specifically a dress, but a suit look could be cool too) that was inspired by the vintage Louis Vitton trunks, that would have been an excellent self reference too, as one of the only brands that was around back then.
Abby cox said that the word Gilded actually doesn't mean golden as in "made of gold", but like golf-leaf covered, so like fake gold. It's funny to think that it actually talks about the fake, entitled and over the top fashion and attitude of the time
Gold leaf is real high quality gold
@@KyuzoCool I think it's more to mean not crafted from solid gold but cheap wood or other materials with a thin, inexpensive layer of gold.
The name 'gilded age' was originally given to this period by Mark Twain to satirise the culture of vaste wealth disparity, which I suspect many attendees didn't know
@@MadameCorgi I mean it's weirdly on theme anyways, like what's more entitled and show-offy than someone wearing a 5 million dollar antique dress that should never be worn and risk destroying it just because?
That’s why Kim walked in last she knows what she’s doing last year her bodysuit in black showed her silhouette kinda make in the sgs rt t that smefivan fashion is in her shadow in the modern age at least Met gala is all about showin grandiose n style of these designers n sometimes celebs who want to make statements abt themselves
Again, your knowledge and effort to the history of the period is incredible. Thank you
I’ve been waiting for this!
Another part 🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥 I like the roasting 🤘🏻
if i were Christine Baranski, fresh off The Gilded Age, coming to this Met Gala, i would hightail it away from dressing to theme as fast as possible lol
Christine Baranski is such an icon, such a legend. She was a force as Agnes van Rhijn on The Gilded Age. The show was so well done
Omg love this comment, I thought to myself all these celebs needed to do was watch gilden age on hbo to understand the assignment!!! And it's a great show.
@@kzvegansuperstar loved her and the show, super underrated!!
I thought the exact thing.
Looooove your videos & commentary. I can only imagine how time consuming these are to put together! Can’t wait for part 3/4 🥰
I've been waiting all week for this video😭
Thank you for taking the time to explain the history of Cynthia’s look ♥️
"we have to stop letting hot people just be hot. We need to start bullying them" Well I just inhaled my coffee.
😂🤣😂
Omg you actually made the part 2 this time😭😭
I appreciate your knowledge and the work you do so much ❤️
Emily’s dress wasn’t custom. Yasmeen Ghauri wore this exact dress in the 1992 collection you mentioned. Emily mentioned it when she was interviewed on the red carpet.
Can you do a bookshelf tour? I love to see which kind of fashion books you have! I know it’s different then your normal content but still, I would really love to see what books you have and what you love about them 😍
I have been waiting for this!
I WAS WAITING FOR THE 2ND PAAART THANK U
The fact that I go all out on Halloween costumes every year AND I’m poor makes the met gala v frustrating
I'm sick of rich celebrities and brands being rich and then having the audacity to not deliver some goddamn outrageous and over the top looks. Entertain the masses and serve a decent look at the annual bougey art costume party or gtfo.
oh you are uploading more parts yesssss
I've been waiting for this 🙏
thank god ok i was actually dreading there would only be 1 part. this is what my life has come to. serving the people what they need :’)
What makes me angry is that Amy will go on interviews and talk about how "boring" and "uptight" the met gala is so she can be relatable, then she'll pay 35K for a ticket, its so two-faced.
I'm not too familiar with all things met, but I thought the ticket itself was exorbitant cause it goes to charity? Is it a case of wanting to support but not being into the whole showmanship of it? Personally not a fan of her comedy but that's how I've read her behaviour
@@animorphs_butishiftintoa_d8182 I doubt it, the tickets are not for "charity" per say. All the money goes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is already a million dollar corporation. I think it's more her wanting to fit in with A list celebrities whilst still being seen as relatable to people.
@@jayda4405 it goes specifically to the MET costuming department, which has to raise its own funds apart from the rest of the museum.
Yessss the video we were all waiting for 🤩
Havent even watched this yet but just here to say I'm glad there's a part 2 🙌🏾
