[@isabelleroberge2857]

I really like ModernGurlz's idea that they could've done a "Momento Mori" theme since the industry has lost so many influential creators in the last 5 years. A night to allow people to honour not just one, but multiple different designers such as Virgil Abloh or Vivienne Westwood for example. It would've allowed for a lot more variation.

[@tanuk2614]

Exactly! Don't forget Kate Spade.

[@vasilisashakurova743]

Also Valentin Udashkin and Vyacheslav Zaicev

[@Phd366]

Yess! It would have been more interesting and fun -IF they actually follow the theme lol

[@Emma-lx9wi]

also issey miyake!

[@brooke7770]

totally! that’d would’ve been so good and innovative

[@l.t.celoni5024]

But like imagine a Vivienne Westwood themed gala? I think it would have been so much more interesting, and she was also super influential and passed recently

[@giuliad223]

key point: passed recently. The met gala theme is the same one as the exhibition. you can't just conjure up an exhibition in two months.

[@catherinevaz6139]

Karl Lagerfeld gave Choupette to Baptiste Giabiconi because it was said that they were a bit more than friends, allegedly :) She is such a beautiful cat. Karl photographed her in several hand-made outfits, he loved Choupette so much!

I guess that's cute but it was ugly

[@Teakip]

For Sydney Sweeney her skin, while having some pink undertones, is more tanned and almost orange (not in a tacky way) which I think is why her dress looks so much better on her. The dress may be nude colored, but it isn’t an exact match to her skin tone so it doesn’t wash her out, she looks more like a light sunset than just one monotone block.

[@alanysbruckman1731]

totally agree, i also feel like the tone of the nude she was wearing was doing wonders for the look, over all warmer and a touch deeper than the other nude looks

[@tink6225]

yes her look had a soft warm tone

[@rahbeeuh]

I really liked Sydney's look but the black bow wasn't my favorite. It does make her look pop but I'm curious how her dress would look either without it or a different color bow

[@gemmamalo96]

I wonder if the Met thinks that the Punk theme from a few years ago is too recent to do Vivienne Westwood alone (at least for a few more years) as that was largely (but not wholly) inspired by her

[@Start.a.curvolution]

[@bebela015]

YES! Finally, someone talking about the lack of accessories. I don't understand what's going with celebs nowadays not using jewelry on the carpet anymore, but with this theme, there was no excuse for not using it and I kinda wished to see so many pearl necklaces, especially because Karl was never one to shy away from wearing costume jewelries

[@lkf8799]

Modern Gurlz channel was so frustrated by that too!

[@clarimm6675]

Exactly what I was thinking! Ofc you'd think of pearls when talking about Chanel but in the 90s, Karl put gold chains (with pearls) literally everywhere so it would have been totally on theme. Also, many outfits with dresses desperately needed jewellry especially around the neck

[@MaraMara89]

maybe it is because of economy? I mean: those diamonds etc was worth millions of dollars - even borrowing that jewelry would cost small fortune (insurance etc)

[@catherinevaz6139]

I was also expecting more jewelry and accessories. So many missed opportunities

Anna Hathaway’s dress is so sexy when I saw it I said “Anna Hataway just reminding me I’m also attracted to women” but this dress is such a gorgeous marriage of Versace and Chanel it might be my favorite of the night. Her hair giving a nod to Chanel muse Bardot was also so clutch she fully understood the assignment. 3. Black velvet on the Kim dress would have looked sick af 4. I feel like no one talks about how well Cardi does camp!! 5. I love how sweet that gown under Rhianna’s cape is and Asaps outfit is so great!

One thing that is annoying me is the people giving brownie points to celebrities for wearing pink or wearing silhouettes "Lagerfeld wouldn't like". Like these celebrities did nothing except wear a pretty outfit to an event in his honor. Lagerfeld didn't hate pink as much as Twitter users seem to think he did. One of them even suggested that he hated bridal gowns and suggested that Dua was making a statement...

Can please we bring up how Thom Browne and pretty much all of their outfits slayed. I really enjoyed all of their different takes on suits and the patterns they used in them worked out really well.

[@martinaromerov.1342]

A lot of the outfits that were pink and/or exaggerated curves where in reference to the many times Karl Lagerfeld stated that he hated pink and that "no one wants to see curvy women". Cardi B and I'm pretty sure Ashley Graham's looks were an example of that. So were Grace Elizabeth, Harvey Guillén Quannah Chasinghorse, Lizzo and Kela Walker. I was surprised not to see that mention.

[@gremlita]

I personally think karl's dislike of pink has been super over-emphasized in the media. he designed many pink outfits throughout his career and naomi campbell, a longtime friend & collaborator of karl, wore pink last night as well. unless any celebrity says outright that they were protesting, i think it's probably giving them too much benefit of the doubt and taking away from celebs like jameela jamil who has vocally and persistently called out the met for their karl exhibition and who wasn't in attendance.

I met a cat when I stayed in a 2-month airbnb and fell in love with the cat, and a year later, I emailed the hosts asking if I could have him. And they said yes. So I drove him from New York to New Orleans and he's the love of my life still, ten years later!

Thank you for the brief and detailed review of Met Gala this year. So informative and inspiring. ✨

[@adrielayson749]

With what you said about people we barely know attending. I think it shows who got an invite from Anna Wintour and those who buy their tickets. Cause the ones who get invited actually follow the theme (Blake Lively and Zendaya are examples of who get invites.)

[@AimyS91]

Mina, moderngurlz, and haute le mode: my holy trinity of fashion yt

[@deboraflores199]

I would´ve loved for you to cover more on what men wore because I feel this time they really stood out

[@rahbeeuh]

I think the last time a Met gala actually caught my full attention was when the theme was "camp". After that idk what happened but my interest has dwindled but I often find my way here to watch Mina's commentary afterwards. Congrats Mina on surpassing a million subscribers!!! Honestly well-deserved 🎉🎉

[@lindaarrigoni6737]

My top 5 outfits of the event are: 1)Halle Bailey: this is her month and I think she kicked it off in a very good way. Her dress was INCREDIBLE 😍😍 2)Anne Hathaway: she looks SO GOOD in that dress 3) Dua Lipa: quite simple, but I liked it 4)Jessica Chastain: I missed her red hair 😢but she was simply beautiful in that dress. Plus, she radiated SO MANY REPUTATION VIBES 5)Margot Robbie: she always looks stunning in every single thing she wears

[@ТетянаКулакевич-с5щ]

It was a wig on Jessica Chastain. Don't worry her hair still red and gorgeous)))

[@andreacamnugent]

Girl can we talk about YOUR look?? You look stunning!! 🫶🏻

[@anyaaa2801]

I love Ashley Graham's dress. Its gorgeous.

[@sofie.h]

I loved Harvey Guillen’s look by Christian Siriano! Really fun tribute to the tweed suits that felt like gender play in the other direction, being pink with a camellia & worn by a masc body!

[@haed6213]

One of the things I love the most of your videos is that they feel like conversations I'd have with my besties while also learning something new in every single one of them, tysm Mina

[@CARATMom]

You can do a part 2 on just the Thom Browne collection alone. Most of my favorite looks were shown by his invitees. Also the men had some interesting looks. No one is talking about the person who wore Karl’s whole face on a cape. Also the amount of pink that was worn when that was a color that Karl supposedly despised. My favorite looks were Sora Choi, Jenna Ortega and Teanna Taylor. My favorite grand dames were Michelle Yeoh and Glenn Close.

Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus🙌🏼

[@persepoIis]

i thought this year's theme was meh but i really liked a lot of oufits, the previous 2 years were so bad they lowered my expectations entirely and showed me these people sometimes just do not care to put on the effort so whatever ig... Anyways shout out to sora choi in thom browne (who wasn't even mentioned here) for being the best look of the entire night i was IN LOVE as soon as i saw her

[@hyrum3759]

This is the type of fashion review we need, love your content and the reasoning behind your opinions. You know your fashion history and it's so much better than these "basic gay boy opinion reviews in their sweatpants" I never understand when people with no fashion sense try to roast or do reaction videos on it? SO many recommended ones I see on my list are such disappointments. Love your look for this video as well it looks so nice

[@d.h.3025]

At least everyone was keeping with the theme this year 😂

[@Royalty05]

Im not a fashionista but I’m so glad I had the same opinion as Mina regarding dua lipa’s look. The 🎩 goes well with the dress, she should have done the full look.

[@shaina8947]

one look you didn't mention was Anok Yai's! personally her met looks are always in my top 5 & she did not disappoint :)

[@AW-uv3cb]

I really liked Kirsten Stewart's look. Yes, it's not very theatrical, but... I don't know, she just looks so comfortable in it, it seems like it's so her, while still sticking to the theme: she's very clearly "just dressed" as opposed to "dressed up as". Then on the other end of the spectrum there's Rihanna who you can tell just had a ton of fun with her outfit and it's so over the top and funny you can't help but love it too. I like both looks for how well they seem to embrace their wearers' mission statements/priorities while sticking to the theme.

[@carolinemercer9779]

I also only saw a peanut 😂 Also dang your vibes are immaculate in this video

[@IceQueen975]

Anne Hathaway's look is stunning. I am REAL picky and I'd wear it. It combines elements I tend to do myself; mixing elegant,classic fabrics and cuts mixed with something more grunge (the cuts and safety pins)

[@shreeyaxs]

conan gray and jenna ortega not being included is crime. cuz they ATE that shit up. ava max and rita ora were also one of the best ones and can we also take a moment for devon aoki

[@AruAhru]

I wait for mina’s met gala review more than the met gala 😂❤

[@baby.nay.]

She technically debuted that bump at the Super Bowl , but I think she definitely showed up last to be THE bride of this chanel runway show 💍💐🤍

[@Protectionarchives]

I will say, on your topic of confusing season outfits, in places like Central Texas where the weather is unpredictable and ridiculous during our spring/fall seasons, it's honestly fun/practical to create silly blending fits like this. You see it all the time when you go out to shows, the locals mixing and matching seasonwear like opera gloves, masks, long skirts, harnesses etc cuz it's the only weather that would permit something like that.

[@jerriandfriends]

Yessssss @ the Anne Hathassaince!! I was THERE during the 2010s hate train for nooooo reason, and I’m still here now a decade later lol. I will die on any hill behind MY Queen of Genovia

[@HeiressOfLoganbeeren]

I saw people call the violin dress a "maxi pad dress" 😂😂😂😂

[@gh0ulgirl]

i really really loved some of the looks a lot but i agree that this year was kinda meh. although one thing i appreciate that i wish you had mentioned was the mens looks this year. usually all the men are very boring and just white a white suit and tie but i felt like a lot of men this year gave at least an effort to not look boring.

[@LebannenSchwucker]

OK so you laughed when you took off your sunglasses and said, "it's blocking our connection," but that is so real and I love you for it 😎🤩

[@chaoticbookworm]

Florence Pugh's feathered headpiece, while exquisitely crafted, makes it look like she bought the shuttlecock hat off Chicken Run's Nick and Fletcher. A beautiful little number, all the rage in the fashionable chicken coops of Paree!

[@chaoticbookworm]

For anyone who hasn't yet had the good fortune to experience "Chicken Run", this is the referenced scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYi3m3yBjryKrrs

[@p1nkelephants]

I thought brides started wearing white because Queen Victoria wore white at her wedding and then women copied her.

[@LemonDove]

You’re right, the white wedding dress = virginity is a myth. Queen Victoria’s white wedding dress made it popular first with the upper class and slowly it made it’s way to the middle class. Not sure where the virgin dress myth started

[@2341rumba]

You’re correct. It was because Queen Victoria chose white

[@victoriadiesattheend.8478]

That is 100% correct.

[@meeeeeeeeeeeep]

*Another great channel that speaks on the extensive history of fashion and rightfully roasts looks when appropriate is, "Hautelemode"* 💞 *Please also give him a watch, he got me interested in fashion and he's so hilarious and naturally witty/sarcastic on top of it* ❤ (And I made sure to write, "also" and "another" in this comment as to imply that I agree this channel does those things well too, so NO hate/shade intended! He's just able to go really into depth on these things)

[@Ella.A.Eh.]

Any chance you'll do a part 2? 🙏There are so many more looks I wish you would react to.

[@folkwh0re]

love the title, i agree so much, i hated the carpet 🤮

[@tierrafarmer6731]

This year was better than last year. Also, the men brought it this year.

[@esraylmaz49]

Choi Sora's Suit-dress was pretty amazing actually Don't know why it's not getting hyped at all.

[@aria2525]

Sora Choi's outfit was AMAZING!

[@pandagirl2193]

I would love if Mina got to host the MET one day

[@ReneesatItAgain]

She'd totally be the cred!!

[@kiwich4301]

Doja's look was my favourite of the night!. It was so fun, so elegant and on theme, uhhhhhhh loved it. And i 100% agree with you on how great it would be to have Vivienne Westwood theme next year, this would be so right in my opinion!!!. Ty for your videos

[@taejasper1343]

This year's Met Gala review of yours was fantastic, Mina! Great work! Keep it up, girl! Honestly, you should be the nest Met Gala, hon! You'd rock it with what you would, especially with how you dress, man! You're absolutely killing it on this channel! I love it, you deserve your over 1 million subs on your channel! Amazing! You're almost up to 2 million! You can get there, keep going!

[@alex9190]

in the moderngurlz video about this years met gala they said an "in memoriam" theme would have been a good idea because of all of the icons who have passed recently. i agree. and something like that could be done any year. i know it as to do with the collection at the met for that year but as an idea its neat

[@marenrosenfeld5632]

We need a part two!! I need to know Mina’s thoughts on the Lil Nas X look

[@rauda1059]

Repent and obey Jesus, No hypocrites will enter the kingdom of God!! You can’t say you love Jesus and live in willful sin that’s playing the hypocrite and You will go to hell if you don’t repent and start obeying Jesus. Jesus says that most people go to hell!! Why? Because they believe they love Jesus but their lifestyle doesn’t show that they love Jesus🙌🏼

[@ileeeenify]

Love everything Lil Nas X does, but his look did remind me of Guy Diamond from the Trolls movie 😂

[@rauda1059]

@@ileeeenify he’s of the Devil it’s so clear that sold his soul for fame . He needs to reject satanism and turn to Jesus and obey him or he will burn in hell

[@airi5358]

The next Met Gala needs you! Mina Le! You always make the Met fun :)

[@gabdar22]

Harvey Guillen, Taika Watiti, Phoebe Bridgers, Pedro Pascal and Pedro Pascal's knees were my favs!
