Not Rosalia explaining the black dress by saying Sleeping Beauty's closed eyes would only see black 😭😭😭💀💀💀 that is truly a wild statement

[@meowplz]

like mama, did she really think we’d fall for that dumb explanation? 💀 so unserious

[@yaritzamiranda921]

She was hilarious for that

[@rai2423]

She really didn’t care this year 💀

[@littlehampstead]

That explanation Rosalia gave is so absurd that it made me laugh out loud when I heard her saying it.

[@Aros4]

This sort of response is actually very Rosalía. She has said some of the dumbest things ever online. I expect nothing else from her lmao. Edit because I realized I was generalizing and part of what I said may not be fair

[@SpringSun-ll5bm]

I think Elle follows the theme. If you read the Garden of Time there is the idea of the garden being “frozen in time” everytime the owners took out a flower to prevent the outsiders to come in. So actually the water fountain would be the shape of Elle’s dress plus the collection is called Sleeping Beauties: reawakening fashion and she was Sleeping Beauty with the birds helping her dress. For me she was the best dressed with Tyla

[@Doyoungismyfave]

THANK YOU!!

[@sleepyghostgirl]

I haven't read the short story but he keeps bringing up the crystal flowers so I thought the dress was supposed to reference those! obviously no flowers on it but it looks like it's made of crystal or glass. I believe Elle herself kept bringing up sleeping beauty being dressed by birds but I don't think that ever happens in either of the Disney adaptations so idk where she got that from

[@elisagalliker2730]

Weren't the flowers also like glass looking in the story? I think I remember something like that... But yeah I agree, I think Elle was very much on theme

[@kseni_vely]

Oh! Yes! The fountain being frozen is exactly what I thought 💭

[@Aurora-lp9sn]

Yes! She looks frozen in time 💖

[@owlnemo]

Mona Patel's dress is incredible. I adore how much it is inspired by Art Nouveau which, as a 19th century form of art that seeked to imitate fleeting forms of nature in permanent materials, is perfect for this theme.

[@lisamortini8567]

The leeves and back train are amazing. Not a fan of the rounded split in the middle, nor the shoes! Yikes.

[@amaya3107]

What I found interesting is that the lesser known celebrities did a better job than the more popular ones

[@taliacheng5006]

Probably because the lesser known ones have more of a say in what they get to wear. The bigger celebs are signed onto brands and probably can’t refuse an outfit their stylist agreed on, or the brand will push them to wear the outfit they already designed. Smaller celebs, even influencers were probably able to execute their own vision, which would be more in theme, instead of trying to market the brand

[@jenniferlynn3537]

@@user-tx7wu3rn4v Thank you - and I quite agree!!! The Big Names in the world of the arts - and especially anyone connected with Hollywood - can pretty much pick their designer, and because they’re so coveted as models for their fashions, people in the fashion world would cater to them. I think what was afoot at the Met Gala was that the fashion houses wouldn’t dream of using a Hollywood A-Lister for their more avante guard design ideas - and the Hollywood stars themselves are so accustomed to “being dressed” by others, they don’t get involved in the process. Perhaps it’s a case of, “They wouldn’t tell me how to act, so I shouldn’t tell them how to design,” kind-of-a-thing. Or maybe a combination of both of those things …and in the fog of mutual respect, the design gets lost…. I must say, though, that the house of Balenciaga was represented at the Gala so often, I wondered where Valentino, Givenchy, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and all the other usual suspects had gone. Had the fashion house bound and gagged other designers???🫦

[@enola8800]

tbh balmain kinda nailed this met gala, with tyla and elle fanning’s looks

Olivier is a master when it comes to the female form and he absolutely nailed the story telling through both looks

[@danielas4267]

Agreed!!

[@nutkja]

I loved that Colman incorporated Calla Lilies since they are a common symbol for both death and rebirth which fits the theme so well! They’re a common flower for funerals so I also see how it is an homage to the Met Gala men who have passed.

[@jocmtl]

I also think the calla lillies may reference Robert Mapplethorpe.

[@TheLastOperaAria]

I initially felt the same about Alia Bhatt but if you watch Vogue's getting ready for the gala there is so much detail on the back of the dress. When Alia describes the inspiration for this year's theme it really made me appreciate it.

Alia’s saree, just the silhouette itself, is the embodiment of fashion, preservation and time! Sarees have been worn by the masses since the Indus Valley Civilisation (2800 BC). It has held grace and fashion for over 4000 years. I don’t believe many other silhouettes have held that power. For example, a dress / gown has evolved vastly from 19th century to 20th century where they look VERY different when worn by the masses (in a mainstream manner). But not the saree. It still looks as is, holding both so much history and heritage. Incredible to think about.

[@bweb6]

Just thinking about how incredibly numb & cold Camilla's hand must've been after spending 20 minutes on the carpet clutching a block of ice. 🤣

[@marljusweety]

[@PeachysMom]

@@marljusweetyI read that the chain came off pretty early on. She suffered for fashion lol

[@marljusweety]

@@PeachysMom Ah! Well, that would have sucked, then. I thought they were smart and added the chain to the flower, so it would continue as jewelry. Wow. 😅

[@kreyaSun]

Though I get what that block of ice is for, they could've at least made it out of resin or even glass piece sort of preserving the flower inside 🤔 kinda like the flower from beauty and the beast (tho it's a wrong fairytale)

[@afaeryschild]

[@lwperkins50]

Elia Bhatt absolutely nailed the theme. The Sari is an ancient garment which has been worn “thru the sands of time”. Elia’s Sari was a fresh interpretation of the ancient Sari and the beautifully embroidered flowers referenced the garden theme. Perfection!

[@thaliahall4599]

The sari was beautiful but it would have been more on theme if it was an actual vintage sari or a modern version of one with some areas that looked faded or tattered. It was good she had the floral element for the garden but the theme was the Garden of Time which contained crystal clock flowers in the story.

[@LilacSreya]

@@thaliahall4599​​⁠​⁠The style itself is pretty vintage, it doesn’t need to be tattered; other people are wearing fresh clothes too. The large amount of floral gemstones do the “crystal flowers” part and the “minty” color is the faded part (as sarees are usually popular in bold colors). The story is also about dying aristocracy; this is a fusion outfit of Indian and European culture with her hair, headpiece, makeup and bow on her back referencing the Countess. I would say it’s perfect for the theme.

[@BOBBOB-dy9xw]

Just to correct you it's Alia not Elia❤❤

[@serialkitscher]

@@LilacSreya I really like your point about the makeup, hair, etc. playing into the theme of western aristocracy. My only gripe with the actual outfit is that as far as shades go, the trend for close to a decade now has been pastels with light floral embroidery, especially with Bollywood celebrities. So they definitely could have pushed the envelope a bit on that. That said, it's impeccable craftsmanship, that was never in question.

[@simrangohan7388]

The concept is that the garment "Sari" itself is timeless and was worn in India since the dawn of time like even centuries ago. Hence, it ties to the theme of "The Garden of Time". Alia also mentions this in her video with vogue.

[@Ganjalivesmatter]

You can give any explanation but I’m just sick and tired of sabyasachi recycling the same couple of tired concepts for his clothes. He could have done a completely new design for his MET debut but he missed the mark.

@@Trinifood Actually saree’s origin date back to around 5000 years, not only hundreds. “Saree” in Sanskrit means a strip of cloth worn around body, originally it didn’t have any blouse(the crop top) or the petticoat, as India is humid and hot country men and women didn’t cover their chest area, u can even see it in ancient Indian carvings of women with bare chests, the blouse and petticoat were introduced because of invasions (India was under many invaders for over 1000 yrs) and it was made so that Indian daughters don’t get harassed, veil was also introduced by Persian/Islam invaders

[@lili011]

elle SLAYED THIS MET i love that she paid homage to the sleeping beauties theme, but in a different way (frozen in time, fragile like glass, quite literally played aurora in maleficent). also, she tied in time and garden - frozen in time with the glass/frozen water look (reminded me of fountains found in gardens during the winter when the water would freeze up). i LOVE the bird detail because it ties both the sleeping beauty and time/garden theme like how you mentioned. she has been a HUGE fashion fan for years - when she was younger, she would scrap book runway looks from different brands and collections and would memorize the names of the models (also in her vogue interview with emma, she pronounced balmain correctly) - like if there was anyone who actually cared about the met gala and being on theme, it would be elle

For KeKe Palmer you did not mention that the dress is also alluding to an Egyptian Mummy, the art of mummification literally highlights preservation of time. Cuz the process is meant for preserving a body after death through removing moisture and using chemicals or natural preservatives to dry out the flesh and organs. with the intended goal to create a dried form that won't decay easily. Quite literally garden of time theme especially if you consider Keke Palmer a Black Beauty and Queen referenced in Gold. Just in case you missed it.

Cristóbal Balenciaga was an absolute genius. Not only was he an incredible and innovative designer, but he learned to sew from his mother as a child (she was a seamstress) and was apprenticed to a tailor at the age of 12. As Chanel said, “Only he is capable of cutting material, assembling a creation and sewing it by hand. The others are simply fashion designers.” Everyone who is upset about a poorly-conceived fashion shoot from several years ago needs to leave the memory of Balenciaga himself out of it. I get very heated about this lol. His manipulation of grain, the fabric choice, his development of gazar…just incredible. I did a sewing workshop at the Balenciaga Museum last summer and it was one of the greatest experiences ever, I learned so much!

demi's spikes were the rods for the gate/fencing around the garden.

I was thinking along the lines of referencing the points on the ends of the hands of a clock, but I really like your comment.

I thought they were the hands of time but that makes sense.

Yes, came here to comment this. Iron fencing detail for sure.

[@kathydurow6814]

I thought "fencing", too. And I think the designer also came wearing the same motif around the collar/head, there are photos of them together. Also a stunning look. But I have heard they were actually referencing thorns, not fencing.

for keke palmer's dress the deterioration is there but ALSO at least to me, it was immediately SO reminiscent of a birch tree and the way the bark looks, and even the way it tends to peel off as the trees get older. for me it was really clever

I really enjoyed how Francesco and the Marni team interpreted the theme into Charli and Nicki’s looks. He was one of the few designers who seemed to think deeply about the theme beyond just “florals for spring.”

Gwendoline gives me Red Queen from the Alice in Wonderland vibes, which I know is not directly on theme, but there are a heavy presence of garden and time being ticking away in the story! Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter were also giving Mad Hatter and Alice when together. And dare I say Demi Moore also gave Red Queen and her rose garden dreams! Might just be the big rose on her dress, but the pointy feathers really brought it home for me! (Felt like the styling of a deck of cards, like the Queen's Guards in the animated film) Anywaysss! It's always such a pleasure to learn about the references in history of fashion from you Luke! xxo

[@alexandriajohnson6656]

The arrows on Demi Moore's Gown seem to reference a popular style of clock from the 1970’s. I recall my Grandmother had this arrow look used as the hands of time going around the clock face. I've also seen arrows as decoration sticking out and going around similar clocks of the same vintage like on the dress.

[@elrored]

I was watching Vogue's live broadcast when Rosalía gave the “what do you see before you fall asleep? You see black” explanation and I was like LUKE! LUUUKE! Please tell me you’re watching this! A highlight. Truly one of the explanations of all time. So good. Love. 🖤🖤🖤

[@pavithraramaswamy1780]

Luke, you’re doing great. Thanks for these detailed videos❤️

[@funty420]

OH MY GOD DEMI MOORE IN HARRIS REED??? why was nobody talking about that? that was so gooooood

[@funty420]

the spikes read like hands of a clock at any given moment

[@sophieniegsch3817]

I was thinking the same about the clock face (clock hands as well as reminiscent of hour markings on a clock face). Moreover - based on what I’ve garnered about the short story - the spikes also evoke the imagery of fence spikes and the circular structure enveloping the rose/flowers play to the fenced-in-ness of the couple as the horde attacks/encroaches on them. Simultaneously protecting themselves in a limited space of ‘protection’ (fence) whilst the enveloping of the spikes/clock hands signify the flower literally surrounded. The spikes could also imply arrow heads (leaning more heavily into the ‘attack’ of the horde) being braced by the flower (pushing back the time of arrival further), like all the arrows shot at a castle or enclave, now stuck in the walls sticking out as a grim reminder of what the flower of time can no longer push to escape. The garden is surrounded, and through its used up resources, entirely besieged. The flower is surrounded; and not simply by the walls of the garden (self fenced-in) but adorned with narrative depiction of the onslaught of the horde. The couple/garden/ flower will perish (inescapably surrounded by the circle), backed into a corner of its own doing (hands of clock/ time implication in the spikes- its own actions of time pushing brought about the inevitability of demise. Time (use/abuse) leaves it (self) fenced in and now is marked by inextricable finitude and limitation, whereby the arrow symbolises (like a hundred arrows stuck in the back of an animal) demise. Sorry for repetition, this look made sooo much sense to me for the theme, on so many interrelated layers (in relation to the short story). Absolutely adore it (visually stunning and forward thinking too, in my fashion uneducated opinion). Maybe not forward thinking but it had so damn much to say and I think it really did that all with such grace and simplicity.

[@tonygarcia5197]

Luke - You know your fashion history, which I love when you do your critiques of these fashion shows. You’re also quite funny. You pay complements when deserved and slay when appropriate!! GREAT JOB!!! I was disappointed by Michelle Yeoh’s tragic decision to wear that gown.

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

Of course Elle Fanning went with Sleeping Beauty. She played her in the Maleficent movies. I love her take on it. I kinda wish more of them looked at the hoarde element of the story. There's a lot of interesting options there.

[@williamgray4074]

I loved Amanda Seyfried because her dress reminded me of the 1920s Robe de Style Silhouette, especially with the hair. Adding the crystal flowers and the reused fabric to the story, I thought it was a perfect mix of the garden and time portions of the theme.

[@heidiwooller4071]

Thank you for making fashion so interesting and relatable. Your knowledge of fashion history is admirable! And your passion is infectious. Love your videos 😊

[@Megan.eco-Instinct]

First, I think it's kookie and funny that people were all upset with you for not covering this person or that person in the first video when you said there would be 4 parts. Whew, ok. So...here are my thoughts on a few of the looks you reviewed in this one: *Barry Keoghan* - I agree. I thought this was a winning attempt at theme and beautifully executed. Someone else I saw reviewing this (I wish I could remember who, but I am just not sure) said, "...although, he does look like every old white dude back in time who mistreated orphans" I thought that was a *hoot* *Ayo Edebiri* - I agree here as well! This fit was *so* obviously wrong, I am really surprised. There was a lot of potential here. I thought that, not only the ombre (which is quite nice) but the flowers cut out and in a relief / embossed sort of style were wonderful. I *so wish* they would have taken that design / construction choice and created something more magnificent and less matronly. *Brie Larson* - I am less on the fence about this. I loved it. If we just talk about first impression on the just the look - (this is so subjective) but I think it's fabulously beautiful. It managed to be quite unique without becoming a spectacle of costume. It said _unique doesn't have to mean outlandish_ I was struck *immediately* with _hourglass_ on this piece. I even saw reawakening fashion in its dreamy sheer sheathing. *Emily Ratajkowski* - I'm bored senseless. Can tiny bodied celebrities *please* stop just *_going naked_* ? I'm bored. I'm a lesbian who really digs women's bodies --- and *I'm bored* . Like, we get it... you have a beautiful body. Know what else is beautiful? *Clothes* ; Art in Fashion; One-Of-A-Kind Unforgettable Couture; *yes* exceptional clothes are great, why don't we try that for a change (I'm definitely looking at you too, J.Lo) *Gwendoline Christie* - I think this is one you have to "immediately see". Some people will and some won't I think. She is the embodiment of a flower to me - a flowering rhubarb stalk or red stemmed flower; her hair being a beautiful bloom with her head, the remaining portion of the bud. I was struck with that immediately. *Mona Patel* - One of the best pieces of the night. Iris Van Herpen just hit all the marks beginning with -- it was actually beautiful. It was original, dynamic, dramatic, *NOT* camp or costume, and animatronic arm pieces are frankly...fu¢king brilliant. Schiaparelli and Iris Van Herpen are the two Houses that seriously and stylishly *bring the drama* and this year Schiaparelli abandoned its position at the top with their *BORE FEST* of a piece for J.Lo. Thank you Iris - you reign dramatic supreme at the 2024 Met Gala.

I was just happy to see a saree on red carpet. I dress like a tomboy unless I'm in saree. It always fits, it's elegant, and there are multiple ways to wear one. Anyone can wear a custom lehenga or salwaar but it so much more effort put on a saree. The reason I loved Alia Bhatt's look so much is because it elevated the traditional saree.
