These celebrities' explanations of the inspiration behind their looks REALLY remind me of people engaging in a class discussion on a book they never read.
YES! They have no fucking idea.
it’s like some people saying that this art piece must have lots of hidden meaning but the artist just drew for fun kind of thing 👀
lmaooooo trueeee
Omg this is the one lmao I cannot with the “ya know? Ya know?” ….no….I don’t know that’s why I’m asking you
Just stupid :)
They shouldn’t call it a theme, they should call it dress code and anybody who doesn’t give a reasonable explanation how their outfit fit that code doesn’t get in.
They should have a pre-gala beauty contest where they're judged on whether or not they're allowed in. Not because I think more celebrity events should be judgmental and superficial but because it'd force them to put some effort in
go with the majority votes?
Anna Wintour approves every outfit beforehand so i guess she doesn't actually care whether they follow the theme or not
@@fatimajameel1357 And that's the problem! Anna needs to start worrying about that blonde bob of hers, and how other magazine's have been EATING Vogue up for quite some years now. I'm sorry, but Anna shouldn't be the ONLY one to approve looks...because clearly, she's losing it.
yes, i was thinking about this exact thing. it´s so disappointing how careless celebrities are about the theme.
It's very on theme that Americans don't know what American culture is
LMFAO this^^ A bunch of confused people claiming things as being American when those things are actually from other cultures. Just because Americans like something doesn't mean it is now theirs.
lol yep.
there is no actual american culture if we r being honest considering how diverse the place is and the history. it consists of diff cultures not just one defined one although i do agree that there could have been more creativity
@@silvergust American culture is a thing, we have American themed restaurants and markets in my country. It’s just Americans don’t bother to learn about other cultures so they don’t know the differences
@@silvergust that’s simply an excuse Americans use to claim basically everything they lay their eyes on as fair game
“Peg the patriarchy” is just so white girlboss feminism TM
And the fact that she stole the slogan from a Black woman and misinterpreted the meaning makes it even more yt girlboss feminist
@raisa hartono How we can know true origins? I mean, where can i find true info?
@@notwerkinginthishouse8634 not to be rude but just look up “peg the patriarchy” origins… you get results explaining it.
@@notwerkinginthishouse8634 incase you couldn’t find it still, look into Luna Matatas
The 'Patriarchy' isn't even real. Worst of all.
I can't believe how professional designers and stylists can be THIS uncreative.
I think the worst dress has got to be Rosé's YSL dress. I mean, simple my ass. It just looked like it was made under 5 minutes and nothing special at all. Look at Billie's dress, at least that one looked like the designers had put some effort in it.
Kind of a boring topic tho.
@@aune6770 Note that it's also a "recycled" dress, she wore it for a photoshoot before...
@@salmaraf to a GALA ??
Much of the influencers putfits were kinda just marketting from big fashion brands for a quick cashgrab ad. Why else are they mostly wearing the luxury brands on a theme that doesnt even allign well
i don’t get how all these celebrities just don’t care abt fitting the theme??????? like it’s literally the MET GALA how do you not have so much fun with it
Most just want to look pretty
Young celebrities just do not give a shit about rules anymore. It used to be "cool" to have one or two rebels in Hollywood who did their own thing. But to have 90% of the Met Gala attendees not even bother trying the theme is sooooo disrespectful!!! I must be getting old lol Can't stand these clueless young celebs who just ignore protocol now...
If a celebrity is invited by a brand or designer to the met gala, and they wear their fashion, they get in for free. Also, people just like to look rich, but cmon you're actually rich, give us something please.
My thing
especially since it's so fun to dress up
The points you made about Cara's "peg the patriarchy" message are SO excellent!! She made it into a r*pe joke and it just came across as homophobic and feeding into the idea that penetration is the ultimate power, which is part of what makes patriarchy work... BUT, even worse, "Peg the Patriarchy" is a trademarked slogan owned by a small business owner, Luna Matatas, who has come forward to say that she did not give permission for Dior or Cara to use her phrase AND Cara misrepresented the meaning behind it!
Thank you for writing this out! I knew that the message rubbed me the wrong way and now I learn that it's even STOLEN and misrepresented! Eugh, it's just all kinds of messy and homophobic and kink-shaming.
Exactly.
if i may ask, how is it homophobic? that point is really confusing me
@@peachiichipchiii, to me, it comes off a homophobic because the statement hinges on pegging creating a power imbalance between the participants that isn't/shouldn't be there when participants are willingly involved. It implies that men who enjoy this act are "less-than" or weak.
I agree with everything! However I do think that it's really dumb for ppl to trademark a random combination of words. Objects and inventions should be trademarked, not some simple phrase
The thing that drove me nuts about Billie Eilish's dress was that apparently nobody at Oscar de la Renta understands that you can't just scale up a sample size super lightweight bodice and expect it to behave the same on someone curvier? Like boobs have weight; she needed stronger boning and much more support in general. The way that bodice was buckling horribly on her was totally unacceptable from an established, big name designer.
I also feel she needed a pettie coat. Maybe 2 but looked like skirt of dress was lacking shape. Skirts back then always needed a pettie coat for that shape. Barbie no different. Feel like designers who good enough for the Gala should know this. Sama as you said they should have fixed the boldest to fir her in much more flattering way. Also the pink should have been a much brighter or deeper pink if meant be Barbi.
@@sarhahillsburg5142 its probably because its rented. Like most of the outfits are. They aren’t going to put a lot of time into something thats only going to be worn for a night.
@@sarhahillsburg5142 yeah or even the classic purple pink and blue combo barbie always has wouldve been better for her skin tone. She looked washed out
Knowing what I know now based on the comment, I want to see this properly fitted for her body
period! it's unacceptable to disregard body types and make billie look bad for it!
Next year they should have a dress code where any man who shows up in a black tux has to step off the red carpet and sort through the fashion bin to find something more dramatic. Highschool can do it, and so can the met.
Everyone who attends has to submit the reason why their outfit fits the theme and the reference they’re using, and if it isn’t good enough, they don’t come.
The worst of it all it's all of it is approved by Anna Wintour, she is letting that happen
Please!!! Or just refuse black or navy tux’s
True, men needs to step up their fashion sense black tux is such a basic and quite boring look. We need something fun it's the new decade now, expected a guy could've dress something like Uncle Sam costume but more classy approach. But yeah, just black tux as always.
This could be brilliant. Instead of people getting a change of clothes because straps are smaller than three fingers width, which could be DISTRACTING apparently, they have to wear something interesting and possibly fashionable to a fashion event. Better than wearing gym clothes for the rest of the day.
As for Kendall choosing Audrey for inspo: there is nothing more American than assuming that everything is, by default, American.
Yes and many made the same mistake!!
LMAOOOO!!! Well said!!
lol im cackling
Yessssss✌🏻
Everything good*
Just me who thinks Lana Del Rey would have absolutely SLAYED that Americana theme? It’s literally her aesthetic it’s such a bummer she didn’t attend
omg same
oh believe me it's not just you
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
LIKE HOW DID THEY EVEN DO AMERICANA THEME WITHOUT LANA😭
highkey disrespectful and evil she wasn’t invited
I really expected to see a lot of hippie inspired outfits considering how much effect it had on the American art culture. Alos one of the people who really followed the theme right but aren’t getting much credit is Lorde. She looked gorgeous with that creamy silk custom piece that was an ode to America’s arts and crafts movement. It also gave me hippie vibes for its simplicity. But still looked extravagant
Meh
Definitely a great one imo
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
Indeed!! I agree on you, where’s the hippie, maybe Jimi Hendrix kind of vibe? Wheerreee
I agree. Lorde stuns again, bless her!
This literally just goes to show how almost none of them did their history. Most of the clothes weren't American inspired or made, which goes to show how much America just absorbs other cultures into their fashion.
That's a good point actually
@@angelnunnart Yes. I see no problem with incorporating other cultures in fashion, in fact, it's a good way to share between cultures from my experience along with food, but... there's literally so few things American inspired that it's just questionable. When compared to other countries, it certainly feels as if the US has no culture at all sometimes (since it's a mix). This was their time to shine because of their history with fashion and they barely used it.
That makes it all the more disappointing because there are some super iconic American looks, fashion icons etc that originated in the US and were unique. But most went European or nothing
Well America is made up of a ton of different cultures, so that makes sense.
America is made of different cultures
Also I’m pissed at most of men there who didn’t even try at one of the most renown events in fashion history. I miss men like Bowie and Prince who weren’t afraid to cross gender boundaries and truly shock people. That’s what fashion is all about
SOO true but they didnt even have to cross gender boundaries. Just put in some effort like they couldve done 60s or 70s, michael jackson, jimi hendrix, hair metal, classic rock, a 20s style suit, abraham lincoln, captin america, they couldve worn a fckn spacesuit lol.
Honestly... I would train myself to corset over a few years and show up to that damn MET gala wearing a proper themated dress gurl. I don't care if I'm still a dude, I will SHOW UP EVERY MAN ON THAT MARBLE CARPET.
True. Especially in the era in which they were crossing gender boundaries, it really was truly unique and groundbreaking.
right?? like i guess troye sivan tried to cross gender boundaries but did it in the most BORING black dress ever. like where's the fun??? the excitement???
Also, I feel like cishet men think it's exclusive to queer men to cross gender boundaries with fashion, but it's not!!
Is it just me that gets frustrated that almost all the men show up in plain tuxedos and the women have got so much pressure too look beautiful in amazing and creative dresses/outfits?
idk if you ask me thats right on the theme of america
@@alinamohammadian8904 yessssssssssssss
yes and also when a man shows up with like a red suit it's some amazing never before seen thing or something and they get so much praise for doing something these women have been doing for YEARS... like the bar is so low for them
They’re straight men
@@vex2960 no, they're just boring
It’s really funny that the “America” theme meant rich white people to Kendall Jenner 😭😭😭
America was started by white people from England and there will always be some rich people
@@randomfornow well there are rich people in every country so that doesn’t represent America in any way💀
@@azereth338 Are you saying that to accurately represent American fashion there had to be some poor people purposely invited? hmm that is actually an interesting idea...
@@azereth338 how stupid are you?????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just because every country have rich white people doesn't mean it still doesn't apply more heavily to America than let's say Pakistan or Afghanistan. It's still a very good symbol for Murica.
@@randomfornow that’s not what I said. I meant that the theme of America can’t be “rich people” because that doesn’t represent America. She should pick something beautiful and unique to america individually.
For an entire theme based on America, which has one of the most well documented history's in the world and giant amounts of pop culture references, its almost impressive, how everything turned out soo boring or out of theme.
I think cause it’s like a liberal elite coastie thing to be so disconnected to your own history. It’s a meme that “america has no culture” as if modern music wasn’t born here. Influencers bump rap or rock and don’t know its roots. As if our food isn’t iconic on its own lol. Maybe cause my family immigrated here but it always astounds me that Americans don’t know the first thing about America
It's not about fashion really, it is about being an advertisement for themselves and brands to be honest
Speaks to America's uncreativity. The magic lies in the Black and indigenous community solely, whiteness just copies and plasters its face on it without crediting cultures it takes from.
@@McSnezzly interesting point, I really think it’s because Americans that were born here believe that the “American way” of life is the standard and absolute way of living. Meaning that, we believe that what we do in America is normal and that it applies to the rest of the world (and I say that sparingly because not ALL Americans think this way) Besides the point buuuut, I’ve been guilty of it and I’ve lived overseas. There’s not really cultural awareness here and I mean awareness of American culture and other cultures that were brought here or formed here.
What’s more American than being basic though
I'm so disappointed that there were no Dolly homage looks. Everyone loves to talk about how Dolly is an American icon until it COUNTS.
a dolly look would’ve killed omg
A dolly look would have slapped. She represents (imo) a lot of what the American dream was about. She grew up poor and did everything a man could do, but in (heeled) cowboy boots - not only that, but she's given so much back to disadvantaged kids. Damn, I'm mad this wasn't realised now lmao
Trixxie Marcell is quaking shaking somewhere
This would have been amazing 💔
Yes Dolly I love her
I feel so relieved someone else wasn’t raving about Billie Eilish. I thought the hair was terrible. It is criminal to age a young person that much just with a terrible blow out.
I also agree!! I really don't get how people liked it - her makeup was grungy and mismatched with the outfit and the supposed inspiration(s) (either Marilyn or Holiday Barbie); her hair are a horrible shade of yellow that clashes against her cold undertones, and the blowout was poorly done - as Mina said, if the inspo was really Holiday Barbie then we needed 15x more hair than that. The dress was boring and the colour coupled with her paleness did nothing for her.
@@amcatny5460 agreed- her hair looked fried I aint gon lie 💀
agree it was one of my least favorites😭 the hair and makeup and the colour of the dress against her skin… a mess
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
@@guidomista7226 yeah it looks like they slapped a wig on her that had been prestyled but was thrown into a bag before it go to her.
Thank you for shouting out Quannah Chasinghorse!! As an indigenous woman myself, seeing her at the MET GALA seemed so unreal. We’ve been treated like we’re invisible for decades & im glad people are starting to see the beauty in our culture ❤️
And she was the most gorgeous!
Yeah I am super proud of her for that!
I just didn't understand why literally 4 people or less actually followed the theme xD I miss the 2018 met gala where people actually understood the assignment
That gala was a moment
LITERALLY
kzhead.info/sun/iaVymKyuqZODeY0/bejne.html
@@choicethetaurus This is actually not bad. Thought it was going to be another SoundCloud rapper or Rick Roll.
@@choicethetaurus Probably the last Time I click on a random link....Ngl this was kinda good
The fact that there were no Jackie Kennedy inspired looks is astonishing. She’s such a cornerstone of American fashion and pop culture!
i was thinking the same!!!
SAME!!! I also would've loved to have seen Katharine Hepburn-inspired looks because I don't see her getting done over and over like Marilyn...
These people clearly aren’t the brightest bulbs…or the most creative.
not some verified account copying ur comment word for word😭😭
The fact that the dude who copied this word for word got more likes bc of the verified check by their name 🙃 PLEASE boost the original y'all this is an injustice
I'm not proud of the fact that Kim K's Formal Void look was thematically my favorite. Like, approaching this theme, I too probably would have been like "THIS country? Extreme funeral wear."
this made me laugh
No cause this comment gagged me a bit
i would love to add CL from 2ne1, she's slayed the look with her hanbok denim gown, hanbok is korean traditional gown, and denim clearly is an american thing, and to add that she look so gorgeous
I agree her look was by far one of my favorites
yoooo finally someone who said this! istg people keep on focusing on the popular celebrities when she's a hidden gem. denim + tight whites symbolised america (i think? i'm not american), plus combining it all with her korean culture -- yes. it's just perfect.
Not really
Yes I was looking for a comment that brought her up! I thought her outfit was the perfect blend of Korean and American and it was such a statement look!
Not really
Someone said that not following a given theme was indeed very American so they were all pretty on-brand lol
kzhead.info/sun/mZqgXZqvpIB9aKM/bejne.html Met Gala :D
America 🇺🇸has to many cultures and diversity to have just a theme. It's like saying....let's have a human themed
No, the liberal elite simply rejected American fashion because they were ashamed of America. Many of the bastards didn't even use American designers.
@@delrey874 Why are you so pressed in the comments, mate? What did the Liberals do to you? Kick your dog? Step on your hamster?
@@user-kg6pr1iv4i I was simply stating a fact. Many of them ignored the theme and gave the work to European designers and neglected the American designers. And most liberals are afraid of being called Trump supporters for displaying their patriotism, which just makes them anti-American.
I didn’t think Billie’s look was that spectacular either tbh. She looks great, but I don’t think she “saved the met gala” like a lot of people are saying 😬
Agreed this was so meh Rihanna didn't even bother I was counting her to save this disasters 😭
Who said that👀 LMFAOO like she looked good but saved the met??? No she was not on theme😭
She looks amazing but nothing spectacular We've seen similar looks too many times now
It still looked better than most looks though.
@@HannahDecember thats low bar though considering this year was disaster. Bella, Beyonce, Blake lively, Taylor Ari Nicki and Cardi didn't even showed up
I have two interpretations of Lil Nas X's look besides the explanation he gave. The first is the story of American independence (shedding the royal robe, armor for the american revolution, the jumpsuit for freedom). My second interpretation is that he is dressed as iconic American figures: Liberace, C-3PO, and Elvis Presley. Liberace was gay, C-3PO was based on a gay friend of George Lucas, and there were rumors that Elvis was in a relationship with his friend Nick Adams. So if that was his inspiration that would be very smart of him lol.
You’re definitely giving him/his designer/s too much credit there. Kudos to you though for your creativity!
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
Your first explanation is definitely what my brain went to! Li’l Nas’ explanation sooooort of fit that (the “shedding the royalty” part especially), but even if his designer didn’t realize that… If there’s anything essay-writing has taught me, it’s that you can technically interpret things into almost anything as long as you can justify it (eg finding themes in media that the original creator didn’t necessarily think of themselves). 😆 Your second explanation is also quite cool/fitting. If it’s not what they intended, it still works!
@@pumpkinpatch5 bruh just say their. Dont gotta do all the hims her
I got gilgamesh
If Lana attended she would’ve absolutely bodied this theme it’s literally her aesthetic
Fun Fact: Before learning more about the met gala I never knew they had themes. It never occurred to me cause I from what I saw I never were able to make a connection to anything particular and no one looked like they are designing their outfits towards one theme haha
Same hahaha
Same lol
The only one that really stands out is the year where there was a theme of Catholicism/the church. Even then so many people wore whatever and called it related.
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
SAME BAHAHA
The fact that no one referenced Dolly Parton is sacrilege. Though Quannah's mix of navajo jewelry with a dress that also looked disco inspired was so wonderful.
Or Whitney Houston!!! ...Like... their creativity is lacking severely
And Cher!!!
@@Sharpiegirl777 YESSSSS OMF
@@Sharpiegirl777 Yes! I want big hair and rhinestones!
Miley Cyrus should’ve gone and done that tbh…
I would like to thank you for mentioning Quannah Chasinghorse, for an event with an “american” theme they lacked indigenous representation
The only look I personally liked was Quannah Chasinghorse's. She was absolutely gorgeous and I loved everything about her dress, from the style to the inspiration.
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
I agree!! 😩🔥 she didn’t get too much attention though, but was easily my favourite as well
i'm glad she wore beadwork! absolutely nailed the theme and looked gorgeous doing it.
as someone from Ogala, it made me feel really nice seeing her there
I love her and CL's look. So unique yet still on theme.
I was disappointed there was no homage to Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock or American Gothic, I feel like that would've been SO beautiful to conceptualize into a dress.
Yes! Wow an almost total lack of any iconic American art references here, so true. Nearly everyone felt like they were in a mid pandemic slump. Don’t blame them, but I expected more creativity.
Re: American Gothic, check out Rebecca Hall's outfit
Yes I was WAITING for a goth look but no one delivered 😔
Maybe they're all just stupid At this point you cannot tell me otherwise whenever they open their mouth and talk about their inspiration I just......🙈🙉🙊
FUCKING BEETLEJUICE REFERENCES IMAGINE THAT
Are we even surprised many of the attendees did not follow the theme? Aside from the occasional black and white theme of a big party in Hollywood, celebrities tend not to dress to theme, but more to show off their opulence by wearing outfits from the most "fashionable" (read: expensive) designers, paired with jewelry encrusted in precious gemstones that rival the price tag of their dress or tux. It's really just a place for them to show off their absurd wealth.
Yeah like someone else said (as a European)they tend to dress like royalty with fur or tiaras and jewels instead of following the theme
On that note billies look needed more appreciation because it was one of the few that followed the theme clearly.
Yes, but you can show off your absurd wealth AND still follow the theme. It's not that hard
google is litrally free i dont know how these big designers and celebs didnt even try to do re search
@@adonaiyah2196 Agreed. I get she was cancelled so not many people want to appreciate her but she looked great and fit the theme well.
Love her take on the 'peg the patriarchy' look. A lot of people thought it came across more as a threat of rape than empowering for women. The fact she said stick it to the man says enough. A lot of other people reviewing the met gala looks just said it was funny or made jokes. It's upsetting and I wish she got more backlash for this because it flopped so badly and it just seemed incredibly malicious.
Someone could've walked in with Aeropstale and Birkenstocks with puka shell necklaces and bracelets, and honestly would've understood the assignment more than 95 percent of the attendees.
As an European I feel like Americans, in this case American celebrities, really associate big important gala events with European royal events. I mean, generally speaking, these kinds of events always include large trains, capes, opulent jewellery, with large precious stones, fur, velvet, sometimes even tiaras, etc. To me, these are not american dress code characteristics but rather royal European ones. America never had monarchies and aristocracy so I feel like this is America's way of having a little taste of it (as in very rich famous individuals dressing fancy for an event, except they are not royal, they are pop celebrities). That explains why, when important themed events happen (like the MET gala) american celebrities have such a hard time following the theme and, instead, just dress fancy. I've never been to the USA but when I think of the country what immediately comes to my mind is MCDonald's, Coca-Cola, old Hollywood and noir movies (femme fatale), pop art like Andy Warhol, the hippies in the 60s and Woodstock, 50's fashion (saddle shoes, blue jeans and leather jackets, the highshchool girl stereotype), american diners and milkshakes, cowboys, WW2 american fashion, the american flag and eagles. Not huge diamond necklaces and ball gowns and capes. Not to mention how men at this year's MET gala totally missed the chance to dress like Elvis Presley... Anyway, love your content Mina!
Interesting point!
you have a point.
Oh, dear lord, they did really miss the chance to dress like Elvis Presley. I'm gonna cry
well said lol like there was so much space to be creative and its just sad to see everyone miss it
Thiss
The theme was American fashion and Kim came as the great depression
Or the black page of history
But if sorta makes sense. As a fashion student, you cant really deny that Kim's sculpture and body is basically an American figure or ideal now. Coming all black meant to say that her body was the only thing that mattered and by that many other abstract interpretations can be given
This is the funniest joke i heard about her by far
@@S0FIAV I wish this was her explanation because it would be amazing. She said she’s a T-shirt lol
@@jaclyn4867 lmao true. At the end fashion its an art to interpret
actually i think that kim k was quite following the theme because even tho she masked her entire face, her body shape is STILL recognizable, we still know this is kim k because SHE is part of a certain american sub-culture (contemporary admittedly, but she is american and she marked and transformed beauty standards (by doing blackshing and middle eastern fishing but thats an another topic..) and thus the fashion industry).
I was so excited for you to talk about the Peg the Patriarchy look. I follow a lot of sex workers on social media, a few of them are educators and I've learned so much from them (and UNlearned). One of my favorites (stripperwriter) basically said the same thing. Pegging is just another form of sex. It's not something you to do take over someone else, and exactly as you said, the whole penetration as control thing is from the patriarchy! Thank you so much for this thoughtful review of the looks, I learned a lot!
UGH I completely agree about Billie's dress - yes, the silhouette is dramatic but the tulle in that specific beige on her skin washes her out AND any detailing on the dress like the stitching on the corset. It's also boring to me because there's no texture, and it's cute and fun but certainly not a jaw dropping spectacle of fashion. If anything, I suspect a lot of the hype about how good she looks is the residual shock that Billie can indeed do whatever the f*** she wants, but honestly at this point, her choosing to wear a dress shouldn't be a big deal on it's own merit.
thankss i really dont like the beige colors in her because she looks so plain and i feel like the blond doesnt compliment her either and everyone is loving her because its a nice dress (just not met) she is cute and the rest was so underwhelming
I thought she looked amazing, but considering it was the effing Met Gala, yeah her look was extremely underwhelming. Certainly not the worst, but not as amazing as people are making it out to be
she looked horrible , washed out , old, bad hair
She looked like Hillary Clinton let's be real they did her so dirty.
Like Billie eillish is like 19 years old right? I do agree w mina about her hair being done up better to fit a more 40s or 50s Hollywood stow but like damn she looked hella glamorous.
It's really frustrating how everyone seemed to miss the mark. I can think of hundreds of options to build your look around; Denim, the Southwest, football, cheerleaders, baseball, cowboys, the landscapes, astronauts, even your home town/city, Country, the Old West, the Gold Rush, Superheroes, Street wear, Hippie movement, Beatniks, Surfing, Skating, Blues, Vintage Hollywood... It seemed like everyone just disregarded the theme.
CL won at the denim concept I loved it!
Were Beatniks exclusively American? I thought they mostly have roots in British/ European history. I could be wrong though, maybe I’m thinking of the wrong subculture.
Juicy couture, honestly. Like imagine juicy couture but in like super extravaganza
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
Yeah, I'm not even American and I can think of better ideas than...well, that ideas...
I think the reason that this years Gala pissed me off so much is because of how many attendees did NOT follow such an easy theme. Also how "influencers" like Addison Rae were invited and it brings down the exclusivity and classiness of the event. Edited bc Charli wasn't even invited bc she's not 18, my bad
Charli wasn't invited. She's not even elligible yet because she's not 18. That was a fake invite list
@@user-cv4nk4tr3b Oh oops sorry.
Why is it a bad thing if met gala became less exclusive 😭
Thank you so much for saying “enslaved people” rather than “slaves” they weren’t slaves they were people ❤️
Isn’t it the same thing?
@@GorilkaCore The difference is that by calling them "enslaved people" you aren't identifying them entirely by their unfortunate circumstance (that of being a slave).
Be quiet please. You are just nitpicking at this point
It's literally the same thing. No one view slaves as less by calling them slaves. That's *YOU* viewing it that way. Definition of slave: "person who is forced to work for and obey another and is considered to be their property; an enslaved person" Enslaved people is literally the same thing as saying slaves. Stop the reachhh😂😂
thankkkkk you for your point about the "peg the patriarchy" thing!! when i saw that outfit i was so confused at first because I went "wait, you want the patriarchy to have a good time? you want to give it sexual pleasure?" and then i realized it was meant to imply that pegging is humiliating or degrading for the receiver, which is ironically a super un-feminist message.
I honestly just find it annoying that these filthy rich celebrities are making empty statements about social justice while attending an extremely lavish event and wearing outfits worth thousands of dollars.
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
yesss
TRUE
This was the most intelligent deconstruction of the statement. Whole video was worth this.
I hadn't even thought about the 'implied violence' angle of cara's look but your analysis was so right. I initially didn't like it because it felt corny and hollow but couldn't really put my finger on why it felt so hollow. I'm so glad you mentioned Quannah Chasinghorse! Her look was by far my favorite of the night, between the beautiful aesthetic and its interpretation of the american theme
To me it felt hollow because she simply wrote on her clothing instead of communicating her message through the actual clothes. It felt lazy, like she took a corset, wrote something random on it, paired it with some pants and left
@@annapettit8045 I’ve personally heard the phrase well before 2015, so she might have copyrighted it, and she might even have come up with it independently, but she certainly wasn’t the only one. Fairly sure I heard it in some kinky circles (in Australia, and we’re the last to hear anything) as far back as 2008. And I do get the pun. It is sticking it to the man… literally. That was the point of it the first time I heard the phrase, well over ten years ago. And it almost certainly came from kinky circles, because we were the ones who know what pegging is, and it’s pretty common within F/m relationships. I’m with Mina on it that the idea that penetration takes away someone or something’s power… yeah, that’s both sexist and homophobic. And it’s worse than just “F the patriarchy” because f*cking doesn’t imply penetration specifically. Though it is a bit of a shame that sex is also used to say that, but the ship has well and truly sailed on using euphemisms for sex as epithets to denote something you dislike. I also agree that she had good intentions, she just didn’t think it through. But then again, most white liberals really usually don’t think things through, do they?
@@annapettit8045 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
LITERALLY Quannah bodied the theme and looked literally show-stopping doing so
me too!! didn’t realize why it was so off putting, then mina gave her analysis and i was like omg!!
My favourite by far was Lili Reinhart and it was so inventive it was literally a dress covered in every state flower like nobody killed the theme as much as Lili did.
it was also made by a Filipino designer
A statement I really agreed with was about Kim K’s look; she was covered from head to toe to an event where people would expect her to show her body. Regardless, EVERYONE knew who she was. it just shows how much her silhouette has influenced American media. Her body is literally the epitome of America, atleast now. plus it’s Kim kardashian, that whole family built their wealth off of a sex tape. Now THAT is american
Lmfao good point
No one is talking about how Olivia Rodrigo said her inspiration was american punk rock music and she thinks Saint Laurent did a great job representing it. I literally can't stop thinking about it, like where is the punk?
her outfit reminds me of the mom in beetlejuice lol
it gave fashion nova
Most ppl dont seem to know what punk is 🥱
her outfit was one of the worst tbh
also why would someone want to represent punk at the met gala?
The hair is what ruined Billie’s look for me. I didn’t like the color palette with her skin tone but it was forgivable. The warm tones in her hair combined with said palette and her skin tone, it didn’t do it for me. Regardless, she still looks beautiful. I wouldn’t have gone in that direction. Though I’m definitely no designer.
I've been saying this but for slightly different reasons. She definitely used a 60s Marilyn reference for her hair and makeup, I know the photoshoot so well and I didn't love it on Marilyn let alone for this.
Exactly
It really did
I could forgive the hair, but it was the makeup I disliked. I get the styling was supposed to be "rock & roll" and modern, but it didn't connect for me.

Since you mentioned how pivotal jean/denim was in american fashion, I definitely think CL was one of the best looks of the night (in terms of both theme & style)
this year's met gala reminded me of my senior prom where the theme was gatsby, and i was the only one who showed up in a flapper dress :/
Nikkietutorial's tribute to Marsha P Johnson was gorgeous, heartfelt, and full of reverence. Loved it, and not enough people are talking about it
She is a influencer from across the ocean and could stick to the theme with a sweet message that resonates with her story, but these American celebrities can't.
When non americans do better than america....the irony Honestly most of these ameircans should be embarassed
@msk tbh, it probably is easier for someone exposed to more than one culture to understand cultures. Someone from the USA might wrongly assume things are unique to America or wrongly assume things are not special.
I was just about to post this. Thank you!
WAIT SHE WENT???!?
“Peg the Patriarchy” definitely feels like it was chosen because of alliteration without considering any of the subtext it brings with it
Came here to say this
i thought it meant fuck the patriarchy tbh
it feels like something that would be on a shirt from forever 21
@@starsickkk It does but 'fuck' tends to have broader connotations than equating sexual penetration to having the upper hand which is what was implied here thus echoing the quintessential misogynistic rhetoric
I think there’s more way to look at it, queering hetero cis males often involves liberating their anus etc, read paul preciado
Why is literally anyone talking about Nikkie's outfit?! It was just PERFECT - and had a good inspiration
i do wanna talk about elliot page's outfit because, as someone who's transmasc, it was So Refreshing to see someone also transmasc on the red carpet. usually when it comes to trans excellency, transwomen hold the spotlight. a lot of people Really hated elliot's outfit because it could be viewed as a normal black tuxedo, but i adored it for its simplicity. it felt like a narrative of the trans experience, and even had an ode to oscar wilde (who i will say- not american but still nice to involve queer history). the ill-fitting suit was supposed to reference a teen boy's first homecoming dance or prom, where he rents or borrows a suit and it doesn't fit quite right. those dances and high school experiences are extremely american, and given this is elliot's first time on a red carpet since he began his transition, the feeling of being a young boy trying to be formal for the first time is commentary on the trans experience. idk, i just Really adored the simplicity and quiet statements elliot made. also, i think this goes without saying- nikki absolutely Killed it with her tribute to marsha p. johnson. the dress was stunning, and especially considering nikki isn't american and was so unbelievably on theme? we love to see it. by far, she was my favorite met gala outfit this year.
Love this! This video and comments like yours are the best Met gala analyses I've seen. I started losing interest until content like this showed up in my feed. Thanks for sharing ❤
I did like Elliot's suit's simplicity and message--I just wish it was on theme. As nice as the Oscar Wilde reference was, he was Irish
@@Robin-of2jt LMAO yeah me too. It was super confusing to me that an Oscar Wilde -inspired outfit was here at an American themed gala. His famous trials took place in England... and had nothing to do with American laws against homosexuality.
very cool analysis I see you are a person of good words, my best wishes to you my friend ❤️🏳️🌈
Lil Nas actually had the perfect outfit if he just interpreted it differently. Firstly shaking off the oppression of King George the third and the revolutionary war, secondly the overwhelming presence of America’s military around the world and the use of reduction of simple rights (higher education, healthcare etc) to force underprivileged people into the military. And the last outfit showing that people are progressing and allowing everyone to have the freedom to be themselves. He just talked a whole heap of crap when asked the inspiration.
Facts lol
that is how i originally interpreted it as well. it’s disappointing to see that the true inspiration was much more shallow.
America's military never had armor like that 😂 not even in the beginning. American military for the 2nd look would have been extremely easy for him to reference but he clearly just picked out ooh shiny and ignored the theme. If he'd done that it would have been way more powerful especially with politics of queer rights in the military but... smh he didn't think about them.
@@lshardy1up it would be an interpretation, a re-imagining if you will.
His outfit looks like Taurus Aldebaran armor, look it up LMAO
Rihanna’s explanation of her outfit being to showcase that black people are most killed for which is a hoodie & beanie. made me appreciate her look more.
It had a purpose.
I was looking for this comment
I was waiting for someone to say this!
Killed for?
eh half of them sounded like they came up with that on the fly tho
I'm so upset there was no western wear look. As a texan, western wear can be so classy, sexy, and opulent when done properly. As a Latina, western wear is such a big part of Mexican American and it would've been so cool to see it at the Met
Fellow Texan here and I agree!!!
I liked Grimes look the best! It was so elegant and unique. As for the theme,, she did say it was Dune inspired, an American book. Also sci-fi kinda fits because America's space race in the 60s.
The met gala would be much cooler if they showcased more independent artists and allowed people who actually care about the themes to come
Ikr.....people with creativity should have given chance.there was so much they could have done.but sadly its just pr and publicity for celebs rather than showing creativity or talented designers
oh what I'd do as an artist to visit there. as much as i dont vibe with museums they should really showcase artists and not have rich people auctions haha
YES imagine the creativity we could see
You should check it out Jordan Roth and his designer. The designer is actually an independent artist. His work focuses on melding cultural diversity and spirituality while creating literally walking pieces of art :)
The designer's name is Michael Sylvan by the way
When that actress told the reporter that she's wearing Chanel and that was her inspiration, several brain cells called quits.
When I heard this year's theme, I was excited to see how celebrities would take inspiration from the American culture as it is so diverse and has evolved so much over the years. They could've made references to artists, music genres, architecture, sports... Yet, most of them decided to go for the most generic looks and tried to give a last-minute explanation to why they were on-theme. My favorite was definitely Quannah Chasinghorse's.
Shout out to miss Diné nation lmfao
cara’s outfit was so annoying, and i am so happy mina talked about it! it is a recurring theme amongst white women to often use very shallow phrases like “peg the patriarchy” or “girls support girls” that often push dangerous rhetoric, and hurt women of color often.
I wish more of these people would actually do more research, why do Americans always assume everything is American? There's some beautiful fashion history in America as well as beautiful fashion icons, I'd love to see people do looks based on them and actually doing things properly. It's really frustrating that people just assume all fashion icons are American
fr tho as a non-american its so weird to me
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
@@whoswallowing me too, it's a very odd thing. I guess they just assume everyone is American
@@bunnyslittlespace9811 they don’t
@@minxxd I don't think all Americans do but some definitely do especially when it comes to fashion history
I'm surprised cowboys (or frontier), Italian-American mafia, pirates, literally anything associated with "the American Dream" (1950s nuclear family, immigration, etc.) was not more prominent in this year's Met Gala. As a non-American, these are the things I think of first when I picture American fashion history. Everyone had SO MUCH to work with and they flopped.
I think that J-Lo went for a western cowboy look, but i wasn’t really impressed by it
I kinda think that pirates are more a British thing, the corsaires and their golden age (1640-1720). I mean, as a brazilian i have heard a lot of stuff about British corsaires invadind our coast during XVII-XVIII.
But you are right, they had a huge opportunity and just threw it away
For a literal celebrity event there was a surprising lack of any california gold rush themes. Like one of the simplest concepts for any one of these celebs who all own houses in LA, throw a bunch of gold and western themes together and yet WHERE IS IT??? Where is my bling cowboy look. I am so sad.
Same, and I'm also non-(north) American, maybe football uniforms, quaker, Mahalia Jackson, Warhol, idk, American culture has been worldwide spread, yet Americans themselves seem to not even want to be there, it's a shame.
One of my favourites was Nikkietutorials' Dress. Dress was Was a tribute to Marsha p. Johnson 😍 I almost cried it was so amazing and wholesome!
With regards to Cara’s look ‘Peg the Patriarchy’ is a movement trademarked and founded in 2015 by Luna Matatas and yet again a big designer ripped off an independent creator, diluted the meaning behind it and gave zero credit - *sigh*
it literally feels so embarrassing that some of these celebrities (or well, their stylists?) didn't even do some basic research for their looks. it's a huge event... how can you mess something like that up. i don't get it, how did no one even TELL them it's not even accurate to the theme
kzhead.info/sun/q8-JotxpnpOOfZE/bejne.html
Billie’s look just felt “you could do better” like I felt the dress could’ve been a better colour if she was going for holiday Barbie I wish she went for a more bold colour. Generally I wish people went more bold, even if someone wants to wear a suit maybe have it be a different colour or material, or a cut that’s more unique like an asymmetrical hem, I don’t hate a black suit but what bothers me is when it’s just plain, Eugene Lee Yang’s look was a pretty plain suit (because his dress fell through) but he added enough to it that it upped the look
The color to me just feels... meh Honestly people were complimenting her a lot but to me, the dress looks like the quinceañera dress that my cousin wore.
I was especially disappointed in her look. Especially since in the past she was voicing more critical opinions and puts a lot of thought into her own art, I imagined she would wear something a bit more impactful. To me it feels like she just wants to fit her new aesthetic.
Yes! She's so pale and the dress and hair combo just washes her out. Plus I really didn't like the shape of the dress. She wasn't giving me Marilyn.
@@sophie9984 same. I thought she would've worn atleast a bolder color. She can ofc wear what she wants and feels comfortable in but her new aesthetics is just that beige color and I was a little dissapointed that she brought that color to the met
@@125loopy That red dress was the only one giving Marilyn vibes for me
All of your takes were spot on, you articulated everything I felt. My favorite looks were Lupita N’yongo, Quannah Chasinghorse, Ciara, and Simu Liu.
Billie's dress was gorgeous, but I wasn't in love with the peach colour. I know it's her new theme, but I would have been blown away by a blood-red or even a navy colour
im so glad you pointed out the "peg the patriarchy" thing, im gay and it struck me as homophobic but most critics didn't understand enough to point out the misogynistic/homophobic implications
Not only that, but it was such a stupid non-statement. 'Consensually anally penetrate the patriarchy' is pretty much what it means. Whatever massive statement she tried to make, she didn't execute.
@@dashingtherouxthesnow4017 Literally there's a reason the saying is "F*ck the patriarchy." If someone ran over my foot I'm not saying "Peg you." Grammatically it's off and it also adds a sexual element to it that is not needed.
exactly.
its so shallow too like ok what does that even mean?
yes!
Omg this point about Cara’s “peg the patriarchy” look is so excellent I can’t even. Something about the statement rubbed me wrong that I couldn’t identity, and Mina hit the nail on the head.
fr tho, very well explained
yeah it gives the same vibes as ppl @ protests yelling "all cops have small dicks"......like I get that yr tryna say cops suck but you're also buying into sexism n misogyny and there a million other things you could say that WOULDNT do that so you choosing that outta everything lets me know yr ignorant.....
@@Supiel well said!
Ok I might be wrong here or maybe it's just me (please don't come at me I don't mean to offend anyone) but her statement kind of reminds me of people who think that gays/queers? who prefer to bottom during "hooha" are/should always be the submissive or more "femme"? One in the relationship. Which isn't always the case. I dunno I could be wrong, it just crossed my mind.
Peg the patriarchy is funny when ironic, but as a statement...
UUGH lil nas x’s look could’ve fit the theme so perfectly, had he made the three outfits analogous not only to to the journey he’s had in his career but the progression of America over time. He could’ve done the monarchy that controlled America, the revolution sprung up from new ideals of freedom, and the later degradation of those ideals(although I don’t think that would be too well excepted at an event as bourgeois as the met gala). He could’ve done pre-modern, modern and then post-modern in a similar way to what I just described, something that was inspired by the role that African slaves played(perhaps the king, the revolutionary, and the revolutionary’s slave who made the entire thing work by singlehandedly upholding the economy), there are just so many interesting directions he could’ve taken this idea, especially considering the theme and it made me so bummed that it was so simple!
Im not even American but when I heard the theme so many Ideas came straight to my head cuz there’s so much stuff you could do so I was genuinely excited to see how the „big celebs“ did it, only to be disappointed pretty badly Especially dressing in brands, designers and as people who aren’t even American really just sealed the deal for me
if you’re rich and can’t dress, it’s a waste. really. i don’t even know what 2 say 💀
ikr
👏👏👏
💯
they don't dress themself, they are ambassadors for brands who are sponsoring them, many of them dont have to say about their dresses
@@AlexStraza which it’s worst. I mean, they have money to choose whatever they want but instead they prefer a sponsor to define the look.
I wish people talked more about CL’s unexpected attendance. Her ensemble was beautiful and the way she incorporated korean heritage was magnificent
Right!! She was one of the only ones that actually followed the theme!
Using jeans was super Clever of her
She was my favorite!!
CL ate!
Unfortunate that she wore Alexander Wang who has multiple sexual assault allegations against him.
I didn't personally like Lil Nas X's outfits, but i was just heavily amused by the sheer boldness of it, plus his twitter posts lol
You really changes my opinion on these looks. At first I was so confused about why you didn’t like some of them, but after you explained why, I can totally see why-
The fact that Lana didn’t go to it this year when this theme WAS HER THEME TO SHINE ON makes me so sad
lol she probs wasnt vaccinated
@@meatgrinder7730 😂😂😂💀😬
nothing more american than wearing a mesh mask instead of a real one lol
@@keiishine that was for a photoshoot though, i dont think it was actually real. She does wear actual masks, i think she talked about it
yess norman rockwell inspired
If billie’s hair was properly styled and the gown was not beige it would’ve been a thousand times better. I do appreciate she went for drama tho, one of the few.
yeah the colour was so weak on her complexion
Honestly, when I think of Barbie I think "pink". And I think most people do. Other colours would have worked, but make them saturated! And more stiffness, please. Barbie as a prototype is artificial and loud.
This is what I thought, I feel like the dress should’ve been darker
Genuinely wish more of the men would do literally anything. Lil Nas x really shows everyone how to do that, even if it's not entirely on theme
Your critique was thoughtful, informed, and spot-on. You put into words some things that I FELT about the Met Gala this year but hadn’t fully formed into concrete ideas. Great work!
I didn't see the big deal about Billie either. Her dress had a long train yes and was big... but it was so simple? It was so general and could've been anything. It's more glorified prom dress? It was her first gala but considering the looks she's pulled out before, I was hoping she would've done more with this look. Same can be said about others. This year makes me miss the 2018 gala.
She admitted she has always wanted to dress this way so tbh it just goes to show unfortunately she is pretty basic, she was just using street wear to hide (which sucks) and now she doesn’t feel the need to she is down to get basic. It’s a big loss but there are loads of other super talented folk out there with actual fashion sense so at least we can focus on them more. WOC killed it with their looks at the Met this yeah, which was fun to see.
It’s because we’re not used to seeing her dressed like that
She so overrated I think she’s gorgeous and deserves her fame but I don’t think she does anything that extraordinary.
Needs yknow a BULLET BRA
the way it blended into her skin and hair looked weird and boring to me
I feel like this years theme was so versatile and broad, it’s literally American, the amount of topics we can pull out of America is an abundant amount. But somehow only a few actually fit the theme? I’m really disappointed, honestly, the amount of beautiful outfits we could’ve seen if they actually fit the theme would’ve been a breaking point, might I say we could’ve made a new statement to fashion or even make history showcasing this years best outfits, yet barely anyone did that
Makes me think they didn't know their own country honestly
Beauty pageant contestants get this kind of theme all the time and nail it way better than these rich idiots
@@AllyInReality exactly, Nikki is an amazing example, her outfit fits the theme perfectly. The only person I can excuse for not fitting this years theme is Eugene since his dress fell through, which sucks bc he wanted to show the side of asian Americans to the met
@@AllyInReality the majority probably don’t.
@@jeremyjub9147 I feel like randos off the street of any major city could have done better with the a budget a fraction of what these outfits cost.
I'm so grateful you put a finger on what was wrong with billies hair, I couldn't seem to figure out why I felt it didn't match
The Navajo model and Navajo Themed Gown made me feel so happy. Especially seeing somebody think Native American when tasked with making an american look
I love how most of the designers weren't even american, but the theme is a celebration of American Fashion🤡
Facts*
This is because the liberal elites care more about European workers than American workers.
I don't that there is anything wrong with that, they can still understand the theme and design good outfits.
@@delrey874 this
Something tells me they're just over it and don't want to go anymore 💀💀💀 Rihanna wrapped her bedding around her body and said fuck it. Kim K dressed up as a shadow and said fuck it😂😂😂
I agree it was kinda underwhelming. Where were all the Great Gatsbys and Elvis Presleys? I thought Kendall's dress was a reference to Marilyn's "happy birthday" gown and I was shocked when she said Audrey. I can't believe so many americans were inspired by the europeans for an american theme! I liked Billie's outfit, the hair screamed Marilyn in the 60s to me, and Marilyn overall loved to have bed hair so I don't think there was anything wrong with the hairstyle.
The problem Billie wasn't even going for Marilyn. She was going for Barbie but didn't commit to it.
You could say lil nas' last outfit is a reference to Elvis Presley

What an articulate drag of those deserving critique. I enjoyed this video, your personal insights and perspective. Thanks.
I dont care about fashion that much but I love your videos. You approach fashion with so much reverence and i always end up educated by your videos.
I loved Kim Petras's look, as I feel it evokes an American vibe, but you can also tell that she was just thinking "america? Ok imma be a horse". It just feels so utterly stupid but great. Like, it could be inspired by the wild west or something, but no, she heard American and thought "horse girl".
I completely agree her look was so cool and different! It annoys me that everyone else seems to not like it…
@@Millie-ur3bp I've seen a lot of people saying "it's too camp, and that wasn't the theme". But the met itself is so utterly camp. American fashion is camp. The social status of the people at the met are unintentionally camp, like Kim K's 40th b-day party. She tried so hard to be humble. The rich are performing humbleness, while bathing in luxury. A ball in which rich people dress up in luxurious costumes (yes, costumes) in order to raise money... When they could very easily donate the money they spent on their costumes. It's all so very camp, so someone like Kim embracing it is great. I think it reminds us average people that these are rich people in unattainable positions wearing things we could only dream of. Even the worst outfits at the met seem so out of reach.
proud to say i saw her open for troye sivan years ago! shes very talented
her outfit could be referencing the band america’s 1971 song, “a horse with no name” but that’s just my idea.
@@gayplastic1237 Exactly! It's a damn costume party, of course its camp

i know you usually do educational video essays about fashion but i would kill for a fashion essentials or lookbook from you 🙏🙏 i am in love with your style just omg
I absolutely LOVED Lupita Nyong'o's look. I thought the denim gown was executed beautifully. Maybe wearing denim for American culture is a bit cliche, but when it's done so well it hits perfectly
Yesss!! She looked absolutely stunning, I'm sad there aren't more people talking about it.
Not cliche at all. She chose denim as an acknowledgement of slavery (denim is cotton)....her hair was inspired by African American artist, Lorna Simpson
SAME!!! And the Indigenous look too. Both were incredible
Just a funny bit of info: denim means "de Nîmes" so it's French ahah But still it was Hollywood celebrities who made it fashionable so it's on theme ✅

I love this video, is soooo on point without being disrespectful or rude like other people that talk about the met, especially because you search everything and was very informative Great job!👏🏼
I saw Caras outfit before and didn’t even realise the messed up message behind it, thanks for bringing that up! I personally took it as an encouragement for changing the power dynamic between genders but what you said made me see it in a complitely different light
I wish someone did a twist on the all well known pinup housewife trope that America was pushing for years, an over the top ROCKABILLY dress, going to extreme with the silhouette for example? like i would've LOVED that so much, i was quite disappointed when nobody showed up full on housewife stereotype? would also exquisitely showcase the oppression of women in that day and age as well... so much untapped potential
