The title of the video made me jump for a sec 😭 I thought the 2024 met gala had just begun!

[@MathiasVargas-fs2tz]

Same I was like what? When?

[@MathiasVargas-fs2tz]

Same!!! I was like what? When?😭

Same!

these reviews are more important to me than the actual met gala

[@mermaidreviews4693]

lol yes i can’t wait for the 2024 review

[@karendover6001]

My ratty jeans, old t-shirt, and I are absolutely ready to pass judgement on these looks.

[@lakritz8732]

Clicked on this video instantly ready to judge. While wearing sweatpants, a Buffy tshirt and a messy bun.

[@rjafitzgerald]

@@lakritz8732a Buffy t-shirt is an eternally good fashion choice 👏

😂😂😂

[@Clau574]

Same!😂

[@sandrasim46]

the Y2K revival was gaslighting me into thinking maybe fashion from the early 2000s wasnt that ugly... but my memory was right

[@MsTriangle]

It's the most horrid moment in the history of fashion

[@rachelhatchet]

​@@MsTriangleLIES!!! That is absolutely the 80s!!! 😂

[@MsTriangle]

@@rachelhatchet the 80s were ocasionally tacky but in an endearing way

[@effingcool1780]

As a younger millennial i still remember and have seen how "ugly" people looked in 2000s so i can't follow this Y2k trend. Nope, still looks ugly to me. Maybe for gen Z it's something like how i look at 90s fashion.

[@aa.4639]

Those low rise jeans, the thong sticking out...combined with a big ugly belt. Don't forget the "hats" and nothing matched. Jesus Christ..

[@carolinec.c.6038]

Someone needs to say it Carolina Herrera is a very smart and elegant woman.

[@cooperbt]

Having worked with her in the 2000’s, she is also extremely kind, generous, and devastatingly chic.

[@Adriana-eu6ty]

@@cooperbt that’s so nice to hear.

[@deathmaiden]

OMFG OLD MET GALAAAAS this is such a good idea i'm so excited!!

[@nl0879]

i know Luke says he doesnt wanna know, but for others who might be interested: Sheryl Crowe - Ralph Famke Janssen - Marc Jacobs I think Gemma Ward - Rochas Hillary Swank - Calvin Ivanka - Behnaz Sarafour ?!? Julianne Moore - Lacroix Kristin Davis - LV by Marc Liya Kebede - Kors? YSL? Naomi Watts - Marc Natalie Portman - Chloe Scarlett - Calvin Sophie Dahl - looks like Alberta Ferretti

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

You don't mean to tell me that Sheryl Crow is wearing Ralph Lauren. That off the rack looking horror that appears to have come from JCPenney??? Her bust isn't even supported on her left side, completely uneven bustline. I can't get over it. Oh my goodness, Ralph!

[@ChaiLatte64]

Carolina Herrera looked so flawless and in her element in that dress. And I absolutely love the reference and how she honored it. Very thoughtful and elegant. Love.

[@natatatt]

Please continue to do roasts of prior decades fashions! It's fun to see what people were wearing back then.

[@marikotrue3488]

"I respect where we are coming from, but I don't like where we went"...HauteLeMode regarding fashion worn by Gemma Ward at the 2004 MET Gala. Luke never disappoints! I love the idea of showing unidentified guests who GET IT.

[@Ana-du8pq]

Their outfits feel like a fever dream

[@kaykaykay6849]

I lost when he said Lucy Liu was wearing a pathogen

[@alexandre724]

People love to talk trash of the fashion of today, saying it was better before... but this is the proof that things were not necessary better before 💀💀

[@katesuisted]

"The early 2000's socialites needed to be stopped and nobody did it, and that's really sad". Luke, you simply are the best!!! Love your work!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mcl-cp4go]

Luke - love your videos! The woman in the black dress you thought was "cute" was Pat Buckley (RIP), wife of arch conservative author and television commentator William F. Buckley. She was a real NYC social icon back in the day. She chaired the Met gala for several years, and I think that she was one of Truman Capote's "swans." Damn you for making me feel ancient for remembering this. 🙂

[@veryfairymary7874]

Honestly justice for Anne Heche, I looooved the hair and didn’t mind the look tbh

[@chelseacheckington7421]

I think it honestly didn't suit her particularly well. I could imagine a more ethereal looking person getting away with it, like Anya Taylor Joy or Elle Fanning. Anne Heche has more classic and less dreamy features, so it just doesn't suit her as well.

[@nataliaalfonso2662]

@@chelseacheckington7421had. She’s very much dead in a very extreme way

[@definingstyle145]

I kinda thought she was attempting a tosseled "just had wild sex" look with her hair, so I didn't hate it

[@dianelitman5956]

I like the hair but not the clothes, they didn’t mesh well. She sort of had an exaggeration ofCharlize’s hair look . If she had been dressed in something more to the theme I think it could have been great.

[@Kaatia18]

Honestly kind of love her look, thought it was a nod to the theme with outfit and hair

[@LaughingInTiny]

This is so fun to watch. Im glad you pointed out that people didn't necessarily dress on theme at the time. This represents so much of the side of fashion that is ironically hilarious. As an art form that has one of the largest groups of followers across the globe, it is REMARKABLY difficult to get people to move outside of their comfort zone. They like to watch OTHERS do it, but not take part. It is, in fact, extremely conservative in nature. It's why the pageantry, the industry of models and masquerade exist in such a large part... and why those who DO take part enthusiastically are so celebrated. It's also very high school. Asking Amber to be more costume was their way of educating guests and media... albeit without fabulous execution. The general response shows how 'mean girl' the majority would behave to stepping up. Thirty years in this industry and I still roll my eyes on the daily. Just a few notes. Isaac's slides are a bit trademark for his personal "out and about". He's always maintained a very casual middle finger approach to what he's 'meant to do'. He's the most laid back punk personality you'll find. But that's why he's fashion. The liquid silk satin sheath inspired dresses were all a nod to the slip / negligé. The theme inspired a lot of lingerie type ideas. That's why that seam was visible, it was meant to be a cheeky "it's not a gown, it's an undergarment" statement. That was about as on theme as people got then. Anne was wearing a variation of a smocked dress that EVERYONE was wearing at the time. I wish I could remember who wore it most memorably so I could look it up. Someone important wore one in green that was all the media could talk about. The smocking and the ribbon was meant to reference ballet or some such. Can't remember but I promise, it was having a moment. I was obsessed with a pink version so I remember enough to know she wasn't a one off with that look. 😂

[@LuvLee296]

Commenting because I hope Luke sees this

[@justlola417]

Anne Haches look is so fun. Idk if it's beautiful, and certainly not on theme, but the more i look at it the more i like it

[@enola8800]

begging anna wintour to come on theme this year 🙏

[@enola8800]

although zendaya might overshine her anyway

[@sadierose2890]

She didn’t… she doesn’t… she shan’t & aught naught! 🌈🪬

[@colleenharding8665]

The gaslighting of it all

[@lindseyfree9099]

Anne looks to me like a Lady of the court who just got caught have a passionate “dangerous liaison” in a dark hallway. She had to hastily wrap up in a sheet and the hair… is 1700’s “post coital bed-head” and I love it ❤❤

[@adri_makeup]

I kinda didn’t mind Anne’s hair. It looks reminiscent of late 18th century hair once it dropped frm the tall look it went out sideways with a frizzy curly halo around the front. It definitely was a later style than when the movie is set

[@Play4keeks]

I loved her hair. She looks on point, especially knowing that a few ppl back then literally had rats in their wigs. 😂😂😂😂

[@BloodSweatandFears]

I feel the same!

[@thebobbimartin]

Take a drink every time Luke says, "I don't know who they are wearing, I don't care to know." LOL It would be too early in the morning for me to be that drunk, but... TTYL.

[@cindystumpf]

Also Sheryl Crow in straight up Wilma Flintstone Cosplay is sending me

[@dianelitman5956]

Her bosom also appeared very lopsided.

[@veronikavartanova4044]

Scarlett's wearing a John Galiano dress, I remember reading an interview with her in a magazine back then, where she fangirled about it, it was very sweet.

[@samsong24]

Fashion is far from my lane but I would listen to this man talk about it all day. So knowledgeable and opinionated.

[@spoonlessvalkyrie7514]

Love the throwback!! More please!

[@mariaseref]

The guest round is amazing lol

[@patriciaa4451]

I love that your channel has educated me a lot on fashion. Before I would have assumed that logomania and anything released by a well known fashion brand would be the height of fashion. I’ve learned to be more discerning. I don’t always agree with your opinions but you really know your stuff. ❤

[@IsmaelMechbal]

Loving the Carolina Herrera's look, while Luke is wearing almost the same idea 😍

[@alxndr27]

PLEASE let your next Met Gala review be the 2015 one I'M BEGGING 😭😭 One of the best Met's ever, almost everyone was on theme.

[@laurenloo]

poor famke janssen is giving middle school dance with that dress

[@kjadan101]

OMG this is too true 😂

[@alinktoana]

Omg so many people were giving prom, the 00s were so rough

[@user-xl1sn6gq4g]

RIP Anne Heche (1969-2022)

[@neutralman9124]

RIP Anne Heche

[@paulaphillips1674]

Renee Zellweger was a Carolina Herrera muse at the time so that dress is probably Carolina.

[@BarbaraOhpenhope]

Amber's skirt is based on the Bayeux Tapestry, basically it's a tapestry about the Norman conquest of England

[@lauranewcastle1173]

The robe hamish bowles is wearing is referencing the banyan, a type of 18-19th century eastern inspired robe/loungewear

[@gabriellecroteau7302]

Its so interesting to see what the met red carpet looked compare to today. Such a big improvement for the backround. They look like they are in a creepy alley.. those poor stairs

[@rijulchauhan776]

I feel like most people took dangerous liaisons as a theme literally like sex, affair, etc instead of the French reference that the met intended

[@Wtfsince1982]

I would love for Anna to shock us all and change her hairstyle 😮

[@dinkusoninkus]

I would love a video of you going through your bookshelf.

[@julesevs]

Loved this throwback! Amazing how the entrance presentation has improved since 2004 - so weird to see ugly, wet concrete & barriers

[@anastasiaaleinik8163]

OMG, all I can see is Calcifer 🔥 in the background! It is a DREAM bag! You are an absolute legend!

[@wolfco47]

Haha. This is the comment I was looking for. I'm doing the same.

[@Hypertropes]

yesssssss I am fucking DYINGGGGGGGGG HERE! The Calcifer bag!!! Ugh!

[@wagherbert]

I know nothing about fashion, but I would watch you roast and review anything...anything! You are a gem :)

[@MagFan42]

Murphy is in Gucci, Tom Ford's last collection. Legendary. Janssen and Davis are in Vuitton. Kurkova in Alaia.

[@pugskisses5974]

This was everything I wanted and needed it to be - we laughed, we cried, we cringed, and we celebrated.

[@Wriwnas1]

FYI, Anne Heche has passed away in a tragic accident, she had mental health issues and was part of "the world's first gay supercouple" when she was dating Elen DeGeneres in 1997-2000. I hope she Rests in Peace, she seemed to have had a troubled life.

[@hrdillon1980]

'Heche'

[@FAB13]

You should spell her last name correctly. I didn't even know who you were talking about until I read the first reply to your comment.

[@dimplesd8931]

I loved the snark but I do think Luke should’ve just done a quick google search for the people he didn’t know. I cringed when he made the last jab at Anne knowing how hard it was for her in the later years of her life. He would never say anything like that if it was Brittney or Amanda Bynes.

[@coll4455]

Her death was also on TV super tragic

[@BonnieLeeBee]

This makes me long for how simple things were back then. The 90s and 2000s fashion is such a lovely hit of nostalgia for me and the people trying to do Y2K fashion now have no idea what they're actually doing. The Anne H(A)che look will be renting space in my head for weeks.

[@melsyoutube]

perfect timing for lunch! happy met monday 🤞🏼 we pray for some serves

[@Stephen-kd7ox]

This was so much fun! Please do more 🙏 Would definitely love at least a 2005 look back for next year’s Met Gala

[@user-lp2zn3ux1x]

Favorite episode in ages. I laughed so hard. Thank you so much for that!

[@cinephile1712]

This was rough - but so entertaining. I really liked the guest round since Gala pics generally just show celebs now (Socialites still attend, right? Maybe Page Six makes room for them among the stars?). Unrelated, has the black bag featuring what looks like Calcifer been discussed yet?

[@lamp5770]

I'm not sure if it has been discussed but it's a loewe mini puzzle from their collaboration with studio ghibli.

[@tootsmcgee]

As a Dutch person It was such a throwback to see Famke Janssen on the met gala carpet omg, she's a dutch actress that's i think still most well known for her roles in James Bond Goldeneye (Xenia Onatopp) and the X-men franchise as Phoenix! Absolutely loved the Guest part of the video, so refreshing to see!

[@kjadan101]

Came here to say this. Famke was such an icon during the time, at least to young straight dudes. She had a memorable & heartbreaking role in Star Trek: TNG also.

[@marieangels6]

Also the Taken franchise

[@marieangels6]

And she was Jean Grey. Phoenix didn't come until much later.

[@annalisasteinnes]

There's an entire video about the outfit Marie Antionette wore that inspired the dress at 39:00. It was actually a sort of "cottage core" outfit meant to imitate the simpler peasant style of dress so that she would seem more relatable to the common people.

[@julialamoreaux3092]

Continue the throwbacks every year!

[@melsyoutube]

charlize hasn’t aged at all omg. eternal MOTHER

[@RifFaruq]

Was the 2004 theme 'shiny satin'? 😂

[@rh9703]

Satin type fabrics were very in then

[@kevinjewell233]

Famke Janssen was in X-Men...she played Phoenix, the part was taken over in the reboot by Sophie Turner.

[@kevinjewell233]

p.s. She is Dutch.

[@hrdillon1980]

I'm quite old, I was introduced to her acting through her being a Bond girl. Mid to late 90s, I think.

[@kevinjewell233]

@@hrdillon1980 You're Old?? I remember Sean Connery as Bond!!!

[@marieangels6]

She was Jean Grey! Phoenix was just her alter ego later in the movies!

[@ricardorb8856]

Gwen Stefani would have pulled this MET off, she had this rococo Alice in wonderland style around her What you waiting for? era, it would have been interesting to see her take on this theme 🤔

[@Angel-ts8rc]

The statuesque Sophie Dahl was one of my favorite. There’s a really nice picture of her where she’s posing that shows off more of the details.

[@jamierussellville101]

Holy cow, clearly satin dresses were in. Its definitely not as fun when they didn't dress on theme. Luke is spot on!

[@paulaphillips1674]

Cheryl Crow was dating Lance Armstrong at the time and made every effort to wear yellow to remind everyone. She was also very interested in choosing garments that reminded people that even though she is 10 years older than him she still "had it." I have no idea why the turquoise but I have to expect it was simply the only dress that checked the boxes she cared about in an pinch.

[@patfernandes7741]

God I love your Met reviews...never change!

[@mellalune]

These looks seem so simple compared to what people turn out today!! These look like ordinary red carpet/ prom dress/formal event gowns. And not the really creative, dramatic stuff we see today.

[@Angel-ts8rc]

It wasn’t a costume party yet, the met gala is very old it only recently became a publicly broadcaster event with a lot of (non fashion industry) celebrities and more focus on theme

[@Tabtabtabtoycollection]

I hope you'll do all the years ❤ love the video and the concept.

[@Observette]

I have zero in depth fashion knowledge but boy have you mastered doing fashion roasts and reviews but still keep it accessible to us laymen. Literally anyone can be entertained by these videos and you always keep it educational without compromising the entertainment value. Incredible for someone as young as you! Well done Luke and I’m so happy for your success! p.s. Your shortform content is also incredible! 👏

[@laural4177]

A video I never knew I need!

[@benzaiten933]

Twenty years ago the whole set-up looked really pedestrian. no carpet or glamorous tent, no fancy fences or anything. concrete floor, cheap plastic tent, temporary metal fencing and that's it.

[@TVandManga]

[@anikajoy5739]

Love this videos!

[@Cathrine-not-of-Aragon]

The coat/robe situations on Talley and Bowles are referencing the banyan which is a lounge suit with matching large robe and waistcoat or sometimes just the robe that was kind of the bathrobe of the day. They would be worn in intimate company like family and good friends while entertaining in your apartments or at your home.

[@holzlastname1976]

I want to say the Renée Zellweger reference is the fact that wealthy people in the French court, actually would take pieces of gold that had been sewn in as an employ and things like that and one of their past times was to pick it out after all these people spent all this incredible amount of time embroidering this real goldinto their outfits and they would sell it back so I’m wondering if that’s where the reference was not 100% sure that to me seems like it might be

[@louisesuth8141]

Really enjoyable!

[@sarahy1680]

This walk down memory lane was fantastic! I'm definitely here for more if you decide to to them. Loved the guest round and have to agree -- rich people need to spend money based on my approval. 😜

Satin silk incredibly hard to work with and wear it. Extremely popular back then as you can see :)

[@meiomi5892]

EXACTLY what I was thinking it's horrendous or maybe they just don't know how to use it😩

[@margodphd]

It's either taffeta (more matte shine) or satin (more lustrous)

[@dsatt57]

Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette would have been in pre-production during this. I wonder if there was a lot of buzz and they decided to hop on an early train. Odd they asked someone to be here when I don’t remember Antoinette being in Dangerous Liaisons. But it’s been a while since I saw it.
