Grimes Gets Ready for the Met Gala | Vogue
this further confirms my theory, that the met gala, is like a cosplay convention for rich people.
It is. It's a costume party for rich and famous people.
It's literally always been a costume party. It's a benefit for the costume department of the Met Museum.
This needs way more likes lmao
OMG I had never thought of that. It's so true.
Smartest thing she did was getting pregnant by Elon. Now she can indulge herself for life in this world that she obviously adores.
It's so strange how celebrities get treated like a whole higher tier of humanity
they help orchestrate and push the entire capitalist agenda, of course they get treated better, they help sell a lot of things to the masses… we should eat them 😌
It's gross tbh. I don't even know why I'm watching this but I want to see the dress which is art and also conspicuous consumption. Bleh
@@morgantaylor517 So many moral dilemmas in life lol
I feel strange seeing how she just sits and waits to be served, make up done, nails... (this applies to every celebrity, of course). Everyone dancing around to get her ready. Her outfit was beautiful, of course, but she will be praised for it, not the people who actually worked on it.
@@jo-eo9ld capitalist agenda? More like they are pushing the elitist, Marxist agenda, I’ barley see any celebs actually standing up for this country, they all sh!t on it. We’ll ship them to Afghanistan and they can see everything they have taken for granted in this great country
This music makes me feel like I am watching a dystopian horror film about rich people who go to a festival to eat poor people. Which might be what they do at the Met Gala? I don’t know. Never been.
Lol right
Thats exactly what they do! I've seen it. Tell everybody
☠️
Soylent Green lol
This 🥴
I think she was the best dressed by far. Loved her outfit so much.
no there were many who dressed better than her.
@@mirabel5039 it’s called having an opinion
@@mirabel5039 it was just my opinion...obviously it depends on your own style as to what you think is the best.
@@fairyjisung totally:)
@@foxriverez7824 i honestly loved grimes outfit, although there were several great ones, grimes is one of my favorites as she stuck with the theme and went all out with her makeup and outfit lol
Bruh the Etsy creator that made those must be losing their mind
Right! I want to know who it is!
RomanticElfJewelry!
I heard it is a random Russian girl, she posted she didn’t even know for whom it is
wish grimes had given them a shoutout
@@Hannah-ix3sw I believe someone said they did on their Instagram. Perhaps they did and that part got cut out?
I love how she will literally just start talking about anything and everything no matter the occasion
It's fascinating to hear her talking
Exactly. She's interesting
She Was Not Training to be a neurosurgeon; get your facts straight!
Likeee likee likee like can she talk without „like“ it is for uneducated people!
@@laxxlixx9077 technically it’s not, it’s just a filler word people tend to use bc of nervousness. You can be the most educated person and use “like” all the time and you can also be the most ignorant person and not even use it at all
Her look is still a favorite. She may have different views, but her mind is free flow and very much open with a very healthy outlook on being around others with different views and her vibe is completely chill. As spicy and random as she goes, she does it without ever having the goal of getting one up over another and that is rare these days.
You can easily play a drinking game with how many times she says the word "Like"
Exactly so dum
grimes bringing a weapon to a completely unnecessary occasion is the most american thing ever and therefore she is really on theme
but she's literally a canadian (T_T)
@@jackiee5441 yeah but the MET gala theme is American fashion so..
@@jackiee5441 I think they mean it fits this met’s theme, which is basically America.
what weapon?
I feel like I read this in twt
she literally had one of THE best looks at the met ever so unreal
yeah except it didn’t have to do anything with the theme
@@kumozumo so? A lot of people weren’t on theme. She’s Grimes. When has she ever been on theme.
@@kumozumo Yes it did lol. "Made in America." She chose Dune as her topic, which is American.
@@shelbyc7285 that argument is kind of a stretch but ok
@@emira9135 literally the whole point of the met gala is to go on theme idc how good the outfit is, is my opinion too you win nothing trying to argue with me
Claire is such a unique person and i love her for it. no one at the met gala had such a captivating look like her. obsessed
Intimicy authorization for calling out her real name lol
Honestly, Grimes stole the show. Idc what anyone says, she stole it. She slayed it.
I wish she told who in Etsy because that would’ve been life changing for the creator!
i think she did on her ig
I mean she may have and Vogue cut it out! The video has obviously been edited down.
it's on her ig
@@xinyue_ss do you know which post? i want to cop
@@xinyue_ss Where ? I didn't find it.
Not many people would be able to pull off that hairstyle. She's so strangely beautiful. Like if an elf and an alien had a baby it'd be Claire.
she has so skinny neck and everything… the ”tube” hair looks so good on her
Jesus is love
I just adore her. I’m a bit obsessed with several of the ladies who share her aesthetic...namely, Bjork, AURORA, FKA Twigs, Sia, Yolandi Visser (of Die Antwoord), etc. All being relatively elven in their own rights 😜.
It's mostly just a high pony tail...
🙄
Honestly this was one of my favorite Met Gala looks ever. She looks ethereal.
4:50 i will never get over how much she looks like an alien goddess queen here. like she’s so beautiful in this fascinating and mystical way. literally love her.
I love how designers manage to add her unique personal style to their designs like she has really mastered this weird girl chic look
Jhene Aiko wore the dress in blush color to the Shang-Chi premier last week.
@@jessicaaye3738 not the same LMAO
@@calciumnitrate the difference being the rib cage effect . They both look good. It was a "matter of fact" comment but moving on...
@@jessicaaye3738 maybe its just a coincidence, there's no way this outfit was designed less then in one month
Actually @@calciumnitrate it took 900hrs to make, which is just over 37 days so not far off. Iris Van Herpen is an amazing designer, with a background in architecture, she is only 39.
I came here knowing she was gonna talk about Dune and not even a minute in she's already at it 😆
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍dsds
Same!
I love ur channel… I’m surprised u commented
👍👍👍 like
Who is Dune?!
4:18 "This is the secret book. It's a clue." She was hinting about her upcoming album, Book 1!
No she's hinting at the fkn apocalypse you fkn moron
"I can't identify with the word mother" bruh she just articulated the reason for why I won't have children
That book thing was so cool. She is looking so gorgeous.
I dont get it,why ze book is there?
Im pretty sure you can buy them online. Maybe even on Amazon
I literally came here to say I can't get past the $30 Amazon folding book light
lol i've had one on my nighstand since 2017...bought it for 25 bucks at like a Barns & Noble!
@@blackcat2493 I believe it's because the outfit is Dune-inspired, and Dune is a science-fiction novel (the movie is an adaptation)
okay but watching the guy do her hair was so satisfying
Ikrr!!
Looool
this is def one of my fav looks ever, all the details + the iris dress yess
The way she speaks like gen z even though she's an adult woman
3/4 of genZ are adults
Omg letting someone put contacts in your eye is a whole another level of trust.
I Don’t even trust myself putting them on myself
@@user-rw7oy7dh1f lol same 😭
I can’t put them myself so someone has to do it for me :/
Grimes fascinates me in a way I can't explain. Just her whole person.
Samee. Idk there’s something abt her.
Yeah maybe it's her narcissism
@@rasputinpuddin3982 HAAHAH
@@rasputinpuddin3982 What
@@rasputinpuddin3982 agreed, I honestly think this type of person is the "new normal".
she's fascinating in her level and depth of her creativity; was in a long term relationship with arguably the man of this century, yet never acts like she's better than anyone else
No one else thought she sounded like a space cadet?
she was the most gorgeous creature id ever seen.
“I probably wouldn’t go to space until I’m like 50.” Elon: “wanna bet? 😏”
ELONS never been out of earths orbit.
@@timwise1014 but he’ll takes Grimes in his space
If only their relationship last long
Elon is already 50
He will have a new baby mama by then
Grimes: "I would like to go to Mars." Elon Musk: "Say No More Baby!" Edit: Unfortunately, they broke up. Bye bye rocket ship to Mars! 😃
Elon gonna make spaceship now hahahah
lmfaoo
She said age 50. Which for her is basically when life ends so it won't matter to her if the rocket doesn't make it. :-/
thisssss!!!!!
Lmao I know right?!?b
She's the most inspirational and creative look I've seen in Met.
Nobody: Not a single soul: Grimes: "I wanna die on Mars"
yeah 😂😂
Ahahaha haha hahaha 😞🔫
omg when she said that i was like “take me with u 🥺💖💖”
“That would be my goal”
@@haleynicole5940 dyeing on mars sounds cool
Why is no one talking about the fact her son calls her Claire 😭
"senses my distate for the word mother" eeeeek.
Grimes is non-binary
@@kirstiecowie2141 sort of gives a bad stomac feel, like something is off… i dontknow who she is, guess she sings, i came for the dress, but when she said that Mother stuff. I felt sad for a child, not calling for Mom… 🥺
Second most american things tbh ngl
@@elinkeykramme6511 why? She seems to adore her son, it's just a word. Some parents are just different like that
I love the look, by far one of myfavourite met gala outfits
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW ALBUM
She looks like a Martian, in the best way possible.
that's why elon is dating her
@@piyalipawar 💀
How do Martians look ?🤔
Grimes has always strike me as the “not like other girl” type of person and she’s actually (and genuinely) really unique. Like what she does is always so naturally chic and quirky. She’s such an interesting artist.
I think Grimes is more in the “not like other lifeforms” category 😂
No she's not.
@@tutuflow3238 maybe not for you, which I understand. I’m not a hardcore fan either, I just think she’s really different and I learn to appreciate that about her.
The "I'm not like the other girls" types are usually not very nice people and irrationally hate other women, so that's not the compliment you think it is
@@crystalchandelier833 I'm dying!
This is amazing.
That was an awe inspiring look for sure. I absolutely Love those ear pieces and actually everything about this.. Even the nails- I'm not usually a fan when it comes to some of the more extreme nail art- it depends, but those were great and fit everything she wore perfectly.
I am so glad she chose Iris Van Herpen, she's such an incredible artist and designer. Plus I love Grimes hole sci-fi universe. This whole look is excellent.
Yesss her outfit on “Violence” 😍
she looks like she’s in her early 20s. 33 is a young age obviously but she looks way younger !!!
Most 80's babies in their 30's now look like that, i do too.
@@navahzuri8557 same, your face doesn't fall off when you hit 30 lol
she is 33?? whatt I thought she was on her 20s, that is crazy
@@angiesalazar2011 this is what people in their 30s look like!!!
she had fillers, she looked even older 8 years ago
“I wanna die on Mars.” So it’s been confirmed. Also have a shot everytime she says “like” 😂
i am OBSESSED w this look fr.
This look was INCREDIBLE.
SHES LITERALLY SO GORGEOUS AND HER OUTFIT WAS AMAZING
Do you know one direction
@@pinkypaul2371 lol off-topic
@MMI▶️ yesss queeen
@@pinkypaul2371 no they tanked
@@Brendenmaximin I know
she's just the coolest. you guys could never 😐 the fact that she was just some random crazy girl making music in Canada and now she's famous and respected in what she does. I admire her so much
STUNNING !! THIS IS ART !!!
Can we have a second to admire the hardworking team behind Grimmes amazing look
adore the look - totally resonates with her personality in a really tasteful and beautiful way
.
She wasn't lying about the great art of an album!!! We're excited Claire!
she says "like" a lot. I was tempted to count them.
Favorite look of the night, it was unique and futuristic, and she looks absolutely stunning
Grimes is probably the only person who would ever wear Etsy earings to the Met Gala QUEEN OF MARS👑
Where did she GET THEM ON ETSY
Not earrings, but several of the headpieces worn to Heavenly Bodies (the 2018 gala) were made by one girl on Etsy
@@squidthing which one 😐
@Lurple m seriously if she hadn’t told us we wouldn’t have known. Which is why I love grimes 😩
@@mruzhitskaya thank u bless ur heart
One of my favourite looks ever.
I love everything about her outfit! And dang! those boots are so cool!!!
She literally was the only one smart enough to use a mask into her outfit.
And kim k of course lol
they are vacc or with negative pcrs 😂why would you need a mask in case everyone are healthy
@@primrosetakeva4848 you can still get covid even if you are vaccinated…
@@brittslife6159 then why vaccinate 😂😂
@@primrosetakeva4848 because it greatly lowers the hospitalization rate?
Grimes freakin sticking to her own "assignment"! talking about consistency.
One of my fave looks ever
I am OBSESSED with this woman. She’s so radiant.
The moment she got into her dress made me shed a tear. The dress is just so beautiful in motion. I am speechless with Iris Van Herpen's artistry.
You people are so pathetic.
@@LokiLL999 Everyone has different interests, so I don't understand your outburst. You should also find something that you will be passionate about and leave us being passionate about something that pathetic, as you suggest.
I cannot get over how flawless her skin is
That's what money does lol
Yaaass I would like to know what her skin regimen is I need them creams and oils she's stunning
@@leahgibbons.leeloog116 if you have a look online there is probably something out there
@@AdditionalJargon52 her skin has always been great though
Adrenochrome
I absolutely adore Grimes I came across her music couple years ago and I just fell in love with her she’s amazing
Absolutely stunning ✨
SHE'S LITERALLY SO COOL AND ECCENTRIC
she's so me
She's one of the very few people who actually wore masks to Met Gala. I'm aware the region was made covid safe and everything but its still great that she wore a mask. Weather it was meant to be an accessory or precaution
Honestly the coolest looking mask
@@seraby7151 agreed
I think everyone had to wear a mask after they got inside.
that mask has holes in it so does nothing for covid lol
@@karikoty2958 Except it doesn't have holes...
I can't unsee the non symmetrical eyeliners .^.
Grimes is so uniquely cool. I love her.
We are rapidly approaching a "let them eat cake" moment.
Um, we've been there for centuries.
Wild isn’t it?
That was not even historically accurate. Antoniatte never said that
@@khushichadha512 Be it true or false the legend still applies.
@@lifesajoke6965 just to clarify, it is 100% a myth but yes the principle is true
I love how authentic she is - I've always wondered about the Met's food and there she is telling us
Yo keke palmer reveals the food in twitter
authentic ? lol...
Yeah SO authentic, the birth of her child was “a great artistic rebirth” for her, not a priceless event because she brought a new human into this world
@@elijahgavin6706 priceless event? lmao what a drama queen. it’s just a birth. it’s just a baby. If she considers it an artistic rebirth, good for her. stop being so sensitive and emotional.
Used to like her but this video revealed her to be idiotic
she's so pretty!!! 😭one of the best looks at the met!! ☆
it's so beautiful to see how after all the changes the halfaxa Grimes is still there. That's growth, that's refinement. That's Grimes 💙💙💙
I love her so much. She’s captivating. Everything about her. She truly is ethereal.
Absolutely
She's just a normal person.
@@adaharrisonn more than a normal person
Yea a normal person with lots and lots of money oh and drugs
@@xombiiina we are all more than just normal people.
This and Kendall's outfits were standouts in completely different ways - classic glam vs. futurist fantasy, but if I had to pick it would be this one. It's an inspired look, all the accessories were thoughtfully matched and the end result was gorgeous, beyond criticism.
Love this look ❤️ Stunning!!
Beautiful!👏🏻
My jaw literally dropped when I saw her outfit, my absolute favorite.
I love how she is just so herself through and through. She’s the coolest xx
the look is so amazing!
Does someone know the name of the music that starts playing in the background at 4:04? It's sooooo beautiful. Please share it below. Thanks in advance.
NEW ALBUM WHAAAA
Miss Information
@@adrianneagoe3652 *ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the stage, Miss Information*
AHHHHHHHH😭😭😭
YES YES YWS AAAAAHHH
Karen: I can't breathe. Grimes: Wears a metal mask.
accurate
With holes though
@@mayko424 and? Lol.
@@shelbyc7285 kind of defeats the purpose of a mask...
@@cleansing132 she's most likely vaccinated, and I'm pretty sure most people had to be tested before this event. It was a costume event..the purpose of the mask was for the look/costume, not for covid.
This fantastic look had introduced me to Grimes.
i don't have much thoughts about grimes personally but her outfit was my favorite. so beautiful.
Grimes talking about the great food they have in the Met kind of reminds me of the Hunger games.. Like the huge parties in the Capitol?? Maybe that's what we're looking at
I just love how she is still so genuine. Don’t think that will ever change either… ✌️
Don't mistake genuine with being totally self absorbed
Exactly!!!
Really? I used to find her genuine but the last few years her whole aesthetic/the things she talks about feel really forced to me.
This might be the best met look I've ever seen. Icon
The dress is absolutely stunning. Grimes best look to date
Grimes in an iris van herpen dress makes so much sense!! Her dresses have a technological and avant-garde vibe which matches so well with grimes her (alien-ish) image. Love this combination!
I love her little lisp. I think it's extraordinary, I'm glad she could keep it in this business.
I don't know how to express what I think of Grimes, the first impression she gives me is that she is very fairytale, she seems to come straight out of a medieval fairy tale! And personally I find her insanely attractive!But with this outfit she seems to be catapulted directly into 3000 and beyond!
that etsy shop owner must be freaking outtttt
She’s so intriguing to watch. Her looks was one of the best of the night 🤍
Her talking about going to space is interesting to hear because it’s not that far fetched for her
Definitely not! Her dream will likely come true.
Obsessed with this look
Beautiful love the look -vj. The book was the finishing touch
this is actually a cohesive outfit and it’s on brand with her style but not the met gala theme. looks really good though!
Hardly anyone was on theme
It is on theme tho. She mentions this in the beginning by saying that it is Dune themed, written by an american author, turned into a movie
Definitely her best Met look and the best of the night IMO.
I Love her so much, she is pure inspiration ✨
"it's a clue" HER NEW ALBUM IS CALLED "BOOK 1" omg
the fact that X calls her by her name instead of mom is crazy
She calls him X instead of a "real" name, so I think they are even...😂
The fact that you think it's so crazy is sad.
@@sola_a why?
@@sola_a bruh the kid is like 1 year old
@@caitlinl1269 and? It shouldn't matter what the child call her, what matters is if she threats him right. Being fixated on a word that really does not matter is insane.
