Anna Wintour Breaks Down 13 Met Gala Looks From 1974 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue
Can we just agree “The Heavenly body” was the best theme that ever happened in met gala. Everyone looks great that night, EVERYONE!
Exactly! Everyone seem to understand the assignment. However, this met gala? Nope.
@@TheVandalboys Ikr! I barely remember the theme of this year, just can't ring the bell.
i thought camp was better
@@silverdragon710 camp is not bad, but the assignment was a little bit confusing.
@@henrychen8067 i don't think it was i think they made it complicated with that susan sontag reference but camp is camp. this year though...
Heavenly bodies was such an iconic theme. So many memorable looks that evening.
!!!!!!!
What is the theme this time?
Period!
@@miri9700 In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
2021's theme is so lame compared to the past years pls....i mean , wtf is American fashion 💀
I love the classy way she says “they understood the assignment”
oh my gosh I was waiting for her to flat out say it the entire time!!! 🤣
I think Vogue has always been questionable when it would use 15 year old girls to model grown women's clothes, but it started to go really downhill when it started to go along with the rest of the dumbing down of societies, starting in the USA, where over hyped and talentless celebs are constantly forced in people's faces by the media. I think certain over hyped and talentless, but highly attention seeking families like Kardashians and Beckhams are used to dumb down society, so young people don't want to do more in life than make a living selling dumb stories to magazines about their designer handbag they can't pronounce the name of. In return for constant promotion more than they're worth. Even to the point of promoting their latest attention seeking schemes, such as clothes designer, they never spent a day working in or studying. Then the meaning of what's classy and stylish gets lowered in society to promote those people. We're now in a situation where cheap looking, orange wags with obvious fake chests they like showing off, are promoted as classy and stylish, and those people are usually so dumb, despite affording to give their children an expensive education, they don't usually have other options for their children than push them into the talentless celeb industry, to use them for their own attention.
Hear, hear.
@@SuzLa1 Hating on the Kardashians is so a decade ago. Every one of them is a force in fashion and beauty.
@@celestialnubian I don't hate them. I didn't understand why they're constantly forced in my face, but now I know why. They're used to dumb down society and lower standards, and in return get even more promotion as things like fashion designer, that they never spent studying or working in.
The way Anna talks about Rihanna is so different and charming, you can tell she really adores her and has a lot of respect for her
@Mikayla W god loves their angels
@Mikayla W ?
and cher!
Hola Mommy 🏵🏵💐
Rihanna es la cantante con mayor fortuna del mundo y creo que de la historia.
“And with Beyoncé, you’re never sure if she’s going to show up.” Slight shade 😭
Let’s pray she shows up on Monday 😭🙏🏽
@@santiadame6781 shes in italy right now, so probably not
@@distorted3271 That doesn’t mean anything, she could easily take a flight tomorrow or even today to be ready for Monday
SHADYYY BOOTSSSSS
But why she never show up?
rihanna won’t ever disappoint, that’s why anna loves her
She didn’t come this time sooo
@@Hannah-gz5xy she did
She disappointed today
spoke too soon 🥲
Well she did last night. Looking a hot mess!
I hope one year they do a horror theme. I would love to see peoples takes on classic horror like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman.
Although we love to share our inputs in ideas, all of the themes are based on exhibits within the museum. So all of the yearly themes are predetermined already
You mean Monster High?
Yess 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
um, wouldn't that be a Halloween Met party
no cause celebrities were doing that every year every halloween
One cannot mention the Mets without mentioning Rihanna. She is the queen and never disappoints. She is an all around talent.
Umm she did. Last year😆
also gaga
I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for Anna to get an episode of her own.
how did you do ur pfp?
@@federicamartorano4949 picrew! i believe :)
@@federicamartorano4949, Picrew!
RIGHT I MEAN IT HER.
Lol she decided when she wants to do it
rihanna's china-inspired dress is so iconic. i don't think that i will ever forget that look.
Same
AGREE
I still remember the pizza meme!
@@meghasondhi897 And the Omelete meme lmao but she nailed that dress like no other✨
I loved her look but not the dress
Heavenly bodies is one of the best met gala ever, so many iconic fashion there,and can't wait for another surprise by lady Gaga, she's briliant performer.
Lana del Rey's look in Heavenly Bodies is everything. Her persona fit that look so well.
I was surprised she didn't mention Lana, imo one of the best that night
So what we learned is what we already knew - Rihanna is the ultimate modern day fashion icon.
not really
@@grimaldiramirez6003 imo
@@grimaldiramirez6003 she is
basically yes
nah
The attempt to humanize Anna by having her talk to commoners through their screens is funny. Lmao
Something about seeing that venti Starbucks cup on the far left made chuckle.
She's not talking you fool...it's the stolen Stephen Hawking's speech machine...
@@dopplereffect5729 😂
@@reikun86 just saw it 🤣 that’s a million dollar deal sitting right there
Anna matters .Who are you again?
RIhanna's "omelette" dress and Chadwick's suit are my favourite modern Met Gala looks. Just stunning.
She sounds so genuinely proud and excited when speaking about Rihanna.
For a minute I was like wait why have we stopped at 2019, it’s 2021 and then I realised…
😵💫😵
Like a pause in history…almost like we skipped 2020
Honestly eerie af
Dang
Same
How come Anna mentions every single designer and how the artist worked with designer to create the look except Guo Pei who designed Rihanna's iconic dress. How come not a single word about Guo Pei? I saw the beautiful yellow dress at an exhibition in Singapore - iconic dress indeed
I thought the exact same thing
This was the stand out dress - hands down1
perhaps she did but it was edited out?
She didn’t mention many designers for many dresses? Or at least they edited out?
She mentions every artist/collaborator except Guo Pei.
Her mentioning Harry styles being alessandro’s muse was definitely the reason it was on my recommended hahaha
Same, bestie.
Anna told CNN that her sunglasses are "incredibly useful because you avoid people knowing what you're thinking about." Very #relatable. She added, "They help me when I'm feeling a bit tired or sleepy. And maybe they've just become a crutch in part of who I am."
Her unscreened eyes on display in the doco The September Issue and they twinkle with warmth holding irony at bay.
She talks in a halting way like autistic people do, so I wonder if there is some of that as well Don't have to make eye contact if you don't want to. Don't have to explain it, either.
Can’t believe Blayke livelys 2018 look wasn’t chosen, it was gorgeous!!!
Better than Rihanna I think
Right! That is one of my favorite looks ever!!
I think she chose the blue one because it was her breakout moment
@samantha smoth Yes I think Rihana's dress was the highlight of met Gala but yeah hers dress was amazing too
I can’t believe she choose to talk about those hideous one shoulder white shirts Liv and Stella were wearing.
Lady Gaga is such an ICON. Her performance art on the pink carpet is UNFORGETTABLE.
Period
"i was lucky enough to stand at the top of the stair to watch her memorable performance !" huuuhh yeah, suuuree 🤥🤦!! at 9:46 you can see Ms. Wintour at the top of the stairs indeed, but not watching Gaga performance ! In fact she is turning her back to Gaga while everybody else ( well exept the 2 or 3 person with Anna wintour) have their eyes fix on Gaga! 🤡😂
I was looking for Gaga, Nicki, Beyoncé, & Kylie through all the pics & vids with no luck. So many A listers were absent this year :/ Which, I used to think the Met was TOO exclusive/elitist, but this year was underwhelming without a lot of the bigger stars honestly. But, really just because a lot of the looks sucked & we know some of them could’ve actually brought it, even if it wasn’t on theme lol
I loved it it was so gaga yet also interesting and artistic. I liked the black dress with the hump on the side it was very cute also the stockings
@@SuzLa1 kinda true
Heavenly Bodies was a spectacular show. The art involved was breathtaking.
Blake deserved to be in the Heavily Bodies one. Many iconic looks and by far the best met ball ever
Me the entire episode: "I wonder what Anna's Starbucks order is..."
I thought the same thing! 😭
@DANIELA ROJAS ROJAS I remembered Miranda Presley with that.
DANIELA ROJAS ROJAS maybe an americano because the cups are too big for espresso
Tears of the fallen
W/e it is we know that it’s hot… and I mean searing hot!
RiRi, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Chadwick (RIP) did it for me.
but I like her 2015 look even though it was didn't match the theme. a little
I don't like Beyonce outfits.
@samantha smoth this is ur 3rd commenting this. we DO not care.
Beyonce got it right once. She has a weird fashion sense. Check out reviews to see how trashed her looks were at the Met.
@@requiemforadream4430 shut up. We get it, you don’t like her. Lmao
She chooses two of Rihanna’s looks to represent the met gala looks, that shows how much iconic Rihanna is as a fashion icon👌🏼
Oh yes Riri is queen of the Met
Every times I watch her no matter what she does, it reminds me about The Devil Wears Prada
Heavenly Bodies was THE theme.
Can we take a moment to give praise to Anna Wintour's amazing colorist. Anna is up there in age, so I'm guessing she's pretty salt and pepper by now if not totally silver. That color weave, which looks to be several different shades of blonde, is completely natural looking. Beautiful job and I'm sure she pays handsomely for it.
I was thinking the same!
Honestly i don't even know how old she is lol
Could be a wig
It’s a wig. She has several made of human hair and they’re amazing, tens of thousands of dollars each
Ma'am thats a wig
Anna complimenting Cher‘s Style is something I didn’t know I needed
Blake Lively in heavenly bodies was insanely gorgeous
Rihanna being mentioned twice really fits my french vanilla fantasy, the soul of the party that gives them something to talk about and we are all here for it.
Nice of Anna to decide to give a little homage to Chadwick Boseman, who also deserved to be here, the man had style RIP
All outfits talked about in the video are *UNFORGETTABLE* 💜
“A camp performance indeed.” A whole stamp of approval
rihanna's heavenly bodies and billy porter's camp looks were my favorites
Gaga understood the assignment and gave us CAMP. Truly an unreachable level of professionalism, dedication and talent. We are lucky to be living in the same time as her, what a woman 💗
Queen of Music and Fashion.
@Sandalio el Bolao How is there shade? The only slight shade would be her saying “a camp performance indeed” but the theme was camp so like…
Agh! Really is that the goal - lucky to be living in the same time as lady Gaga!like really we don’t have any female role models - and now pls lets not start with what she has achieved..blah blah...yes, she is good! She achieved stuff but of course we have better role models..
@@LimewireK, people have opinions
@Sandalio el Bolao you’re kinda delusional. Anna is great friend of Gaga
“the party went on until six in the morning” beautiful.
The sunglasses indoors really help convey her passion and sincerity for the topic.
2019 MET Gala was the greatest of all time, that Lady Gaga moment followed by Billy, OH MY GOD, iconic.
yes
no, eww 2018 was the most iconic
Billie is an overrated hypocrite
I love how Anna said that SJP is the perfect Met guest cos i think that the new generation overlooks her and would just focus their attention on the younger guests being the "best dressed".
Yes! Her outfits are not always pretty but they’re definitely always on-theme. Many people always list their “best dressed” without considering the theme. It hurts my soul lol
i could watch this all day… please more
I didn’t know you could arrive to New York and just watch the MET gala celebrity entrances. I will definitely be doing that next year 😁
Anna finally gets her own episode. An absolute icon
5:06 "and of course with Beyoncé, you're never quite sure if she's gonna turn up." LOLZ i cannot.
YES!!! The Shade!!!! omg!
beyonce has become too HUGE a name these days, you can't catch an interview with her. I miss the early 2000s beyonce i grew up with.
@@eternalsmarvel2889 honestly sameeee. She’s like the biggest act on earth. She only does magazine interviews now and even that’s once in a blue moon.
@@nashayday8739 exactly. I'm not entirely mad at her tho, she's like on top of the industry for over 20 years now. she's earned this privilege.
@@eternalsmarvel2889 yes I completely agree. She’s really the queen.
I'm in love of how she say "Givenchy" at 5:03 ❤️
i love that the reasons of her choices are because of the story behind it and not just judging by the outfits
i wish she would’ve included karlie kloss looking camp right in the eye
What's camper than going to The Met as a half assed Ferrero Rocher?
🤣🤣🤣
LEAVE 💀💀💀
I cant😭
Pls
Rihanna and Lady Gaga FASHION ICONS
no no, just Ri.
@@rooniegyrl Gaga won the CFDA fashion icon award 3 years before Rihanna did🤷🏻♂️ proof is in the pudding
@@TheBoomerang32 normal gaga IS old than Rihanna 😌
@@TheBoomerang32 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And since Rihanna has stepped on the scene, everyone falls over themselves for HER. But its cute that you'd say that. I'm a Gaga fan, but it's RIHANNA'S impact that runs things luv🥰
@@rooniegyrl rihanna wore jeans and tanks on red carpets before Gaga’s debut in 2008. Dont get to ahead of yourself honey
Love the chosen outfits, so many iconic looks!
Sometimes I think there's nobody like Rihanna ...and there won't ever be another Rihanna... she's out of this world!
FYI because it wasn't mentioned in the video: Rihanna's yellow dress was designed by Guo Pei
it literally says it on the page she's on lol
@@choccymilkconnoisseur2775 but anna did not mentioned anything about her like she did with other designers
Omg....you wouldn't lose one chance of showing yourselves of would you?
@@LOL-pb2if yeh
I have a feeling she'll choose Chadwick Boseman as one of the Heavenly Bodies nailed guests. Chadwick nailed it, and it's almost as if he's taking us to church!
absolutely
He is dead my dude
@@veronicasardo76 she meant in the past idiot
She literally said he was the only black guest she was talking about. They 100% cut it out and it’s obvious. She’s racist ew. 8:02 - 8:07
@@Itsobvikaryna Now that you mention it you are totally right. It is so obvious
Rihanna is such an Icon. Truly THE Icon of our generation.
Beautifully articulate presentation! I can't believe that Anna allowed a paper coffee cup in the shot!!!
Anna on gaga : I was lucky enough to watch her memorable performance on the stairs . Also Anna giving her back on lady gaga performance 9:47 😂
I'M SCREAMING
Hahahahhaha I saw this and busted out laughing
Lmao the fekken timing😂😂 But I mean she did a lot and Anna turned back there. It doesn't mean she didn't saw the whole thing :')
RIHANNA'S CLOTHES AT MET GALA ARE EVERYTHING, JESUS. 💗💗
Thank you Anna for caring so much
Did the editor-in-chief of Vogue really just misuse “poignant” twice?
Her accent gives me life 🔥🦋
Lady Gaga 2019 was & still is the moment !! Who can turn the whole met gala as there performance show other then queen Gaga ? No one. she’s truly an iconic legend 🙌🏼
this woman is so classy and swag at the same time🧍🏻 love ya goddess of fashion anna🙏
I love you Anna! You are absolutely DEVINE!
I believe that Oscar de la Renta (RIP) an Giorgio Armani are two of the most elegant and classy designers, almost everything by them is so simple yet beautiful
I am disappointed that SJP’s 2014 Oscar deLaRenta’s dress didn’t make the cut here.
@2:44 I think this is the Oscar DeLaRenta , sorry if it is not 😊
@@ak-os3pu that's correct!
who's SJP?
@@mainslayer Sarah Jessica Parker😊
met 2018 is really one for the history books for having such many iconic looks
What’s funny is many of my own personal favorites that stand out to me, stood out for Anna.
The real Devil wears Prada? Lol 😂
Yup
*Miranda Priestly
Really?! She's like that?🤔😬
she inspired the character :)
she does run the Costume institute and throws the Met Gala.
Lady Gagas 2019 Met Gala caroet performance will forever be the most impactful and iconic Met Gala moment
Nah. Rihanna will always hold that spot.
Sorry but rihanna wearing guo pei is unbeatble
It literally was crickets, lol. Rih is def the Queen of the Mets
@@gregoryreinoso1049 so much so that she's announced don't bother hosting any Met After parties, as she's hosting one. That's that Rihanna impact. No one ain't waiting with baited breath to see Gaga 🤣
LMFAO
Like the flower color arrangements behind you Lady Chief 🙏💚
I love her so much So professional and admirable💋💋
Rihanna and Bey own it every year they grace the carpet 😍
RIHANNA, DASSIT.
Riri
Rihanna yes, Beyonce no
And Gaga
Rihanna for sure
I could watch Anna talk about looks for hours! Can we have more videos like this???
I was thinking the exact same thing. Anna could read the Manhattan Yellow Pages and I'd watch it.
My dear Anna. Thank you so much for your great choices you have chosen. You are the classiest of them all💝🌼💖
I love the costumes that are stunning....and follow the theme. When the star is confident but not full of themselves. True class. Those that don't follow the theme and have to go for shock because that's all they have.....
Rihanna and Zendaya are truly the queens of the Met Gala
Yess I was wondering why she didn't mention Zendaya
And Zandaya won’t be there this year😭
@@juicebox5883 what wait really??????
@@sahraabdulahi5799 I think she’s filming the second season of euphoria
@@juicebox5883 ik 😭
Surprised they skipped Zac Posen's fibre optics dress on Claire Danes for Ex Machina. Such an innovation.
Nobody makes a gown as good as Zac Posen. That man was born to make gowns
Truly! HauteLeMode here on KZhead has talked about interning for Posen during the time of construction and apparently the lights would dim in the studio periodically, and the staff knew that was when they were testing the dress 😂 his gowns are breathtaking, I'm so sad he had to stop making them. Hopefully he'll start up again, sooner rather than later.
@@RealElongatedMuskrat I don't believe he stopped making them, just declared bankruptcy on his brand. This was about protecting his assets, not bouncing out of fashion. At the time, I saw his personal net worth estimated at about $60 million.
Agreed! That was hands down one of the best Met moments. Over the Zendaya knock off dress.
Zendaya's Joan of Arc look deserves an honorary mention. That one was brilliant!
thoroughly enjoyed this video!
There should be an old Hollywood theme. That would be so good.
Anna, thank you for the magic you've brought. I appreciate it.
I respect her for being so tough and dedicated. Bully someone is easy.
I love that her hair and sunglasses never change
Surprised not to see Zendaya featured, her glowing Cinderella dress was a showstopper and her Jeanne d’Arc look was fantastic!
The Cinderella dress was simply a costume.
I love Zendaya, everything she has done since has been amazing, but the Cinderella costume was simply that.
but zendaya's 2018 outfit is superior...didnt like the cindrella dress at all
Her 2018 look was AMAZING. I was waiting for it, but i guess not!
The Glowing Claire Danes was the Original glowy dress. It should've made the list
love anna’s voice ! could listen to her all day
And there is a reason why I love & miss the 90s
Anna W- You have always have had a very mature image with a unique sense of style. You are a powerful woman. Happy Mothers Day.
I was gonna throw a fit if Rihanna's yellow dress didn't make the cut. 💛💛 The one that gave birth to a thousand memes 😂🍕 Literally the poster child of the MET gala
Nobody: Literally no one: Anna: ✨Poignant✨
She isn’t even using it in correct context 😂 She must like the way it sounds
@@liamstrong1012 i know right 😂
for the whole time i was like "where is GAGA" well she took the last page with her CAMP HAHAH
Heavenly bodies was such and amazing theme and had some of the best met looks
Rihanna is a flawless, iconic, bold, extraordinary, stunning, heavenly being
Just this episode with Anna Wintour tells me how truly insightful, perceptive and thoughtful she is - those observations of hers of the people along with what they wore - Liv Tyler, Blake Lively, Oprah, Chadwick Boseman..
Didn’t expect Edna Mode dyed her hair blonde for this video, but it looks good!
My dear Anna, you are brilliant, thank you for sharing.
...I'd defenitely add Katy's 2018 or 2019 look, she really is underrated when it comes to fashion, and nowdays everything
Love her. Her eloquence, her poise. No wonder she is what she is. Absolute queen.
Anna's necklace is amazing. It looks like a triple strand...really, really lovely
i'm glad the queen of camp was recognized last she did so well
