Vivienne was far less controversial, in ways far more grounbreaking while being just as iconic as Lagerfeld. She was never basic like Lagerfeld sometimes was, lets be honest. Westwood also had tons of very classy and high-class looks, also a lot of experimental and unique looks when Lagerfeld only kinda did specific styles without much variety at all. I cant handle this toothpaste carpet and just picking a piece out of a clothing catalogue, throwing it on with no creativity… Over what could have been with Westwood; the fun, the joy, the layers, deconstructed and unique looks you could have had with Vivienne. Huge shame.

Next year should DEFINITELY be a Vivienne Westwood theme! There's so much more creativity and individuality that could be showcased!

[@Morpethfolk2209]

Dua Lipa's dress is such a missed opportunity in my opinion. The dress has a healthy dose of rococo elements to it, with a structured torso and large skirt. Since the rococo was an era of excess and artifice, it would have been entirely appropriate for Dua to be heavily jeweled; in turn, referencing back to Karl's early Chanel days that you discussed. I would have loved to have seen Dua with a large and elaborate hairstyle, possibly adorned with accessories from the Chanel archive. I also feel like her arms are too bare for me, if she had gone the rococo route then she could have worn some beautiful white gloves. Jewels, hair, flowers, accessories, etc. It was all there for the taking but it just feels like they chose such a simple interpretation. :/

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

💯 to everything you said. Especially because Dua can pull off super glamorous looks with her strong features. Some people are easily overwhelmed with heavy accessories but she is not one of them. I am the most disappointed with her because it was the worst missed opportunity.

[@peterquennellnyc]

Impressive comment, though no word on the pockets?! As a Met member who has (rather uncomprehendingly!) taken in the Met fashion shows for 20+ years: Dua's look haunted me all night. One commentator said she looked like a Disney princess, maybe thinking of Lily Collins in "Snow White", she wore something almost identical - though with a swan as a hat!

[@kikimah3899]

She should of wore the accessories to the dress it came with a hat and a jacket at least the hat. It fell a lil flat.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

@Bigheartoneggshells We understand Coco Chanel’s style. But you’re the one who doesn’t understand that that the met gala theme was Karl Lagerfeld. Not Coco Chanel. Karl was heavy on accessories. Especially costume jewelry. In fact, he used to be terribly criticized for over accessorizing. There’s a reason that Claudia Schiffer originally wore Dua’s dress with a jacket, a hat with a big rose, and swirls of frilly, wide ribbon all over a glamorous updo.

[@Morpethfolk2209]

@Bigheartoneggshells Your criticisms of my thoughts are all well and good if the theme of the Met Gala was CHANEL. However, that was not the theme. The theme was KARL LAGERFELD and a celebration of HIS work. Though he may have been at the helm of Chanel for many years (bringing it back from near-death), he was his own creative and had his own modes of inspiration for his work (the rococo period being one of them). I never wanted Dua to dress in period attire, because that would be cosplaying. No, I wanted her to use the dress that she was given (or chose idk) and really utilise it to it’s full advantage. The dress does have rococo themes throughout it and, if she had played her cards right, she could have played into that fact by creating a style that encompassed signature “fluff” from that period; honouring Karl’s creative process in turn. It could have been done in a very chic way, while still paying homage to Karl’s creative process.

[@elainal6847]

Your idea for a theme would be amazing

[@user-oq5xl6hp5w]

tbh I was kinda expecting more this year. The majority of people either wore archive chanel designed by Lagerfeld, which is on theme but uninspired.

6:30 I felt the same way! Dua looks PRETTY ofc, but I think they could’ve done more with the styling or at least recreated the ENTIRE LOOK from the show, hat and all!

[@SimonkaShow]

Your idea on the theme is absolutely perfect I'm so upset they didn't do that !

[@bhavyagupta5567]

Your ideas got the possible themes were exactly what needed to happen. The vibes would have been immaculate.

[@svietlana5091]

Your theme idea with memento mori/memento vivre and honoring various designers who passed away is superb, no idea how no one in charge of MET thought of that with Lagerfeld and Vivienne Westwood both dying in a short span of time.

[@tabathaogost4982]

I loved the Met Gala this year! Sometimes I think it's too gimmicky, or try-hard, this felt more natural and focused on the fashion. The detailing in the dresses were outstanding, even the boring ones. The whole thing was very Chanel in intensity, and for some reason everyone looked like they were having more fun and were more relaxed.

[@folkwh0re]

i was waiting for this video since the theme announcement lmao

[@alex9190]

the thom browne bunch looks fantastic. everyone in that group is high up on my ratings (except the two boring suits, sorry). also anne hathaway and billie eilish. honorable mention to charlotte tilbury because that dress is so pretty, and oliver rousteing because that bag is funny. least favorites are both kendall and kylie, alexandra daddario, dee hilfiger, and jodie comer

[@emilywhittemore6482]

Ummm... i thin moderngurlz should just run vogue now, or like, the industry in general. That in memorium,/appreciation for life theme idea is so great

[@francescadidio3619]

i don't look at pictures of the met gala i just wait for your video! never disapoints

[@maef7026]

The men that were on theme look spectacular! That's why I'm a bit annoyed with the men that didn't even try, they had no excuse this year.

[@girlyvidsbyali1475]

I love the Chanel looks definitely my favorite met gala

[@maxatkisnon3454]

I love how you got this video up so early your my favourite KZbinr

[@LukeAttw00d]

Lily Moss not only rocked that Fendi frock but it suited her. Was nice to see some Fendi representation! Nicole, Paris & Anne looked fabulous.

[@mana-uv7cz]

Wow I am surprised by this take, although I really agree that there are way more interesting displays that occurred in the past, I still really enjoyed this met gala and appreciated that more people stuck to the theme this year.

[@ismayonnaiseaninstrument7]

Ngl that cat fursuit was rlly cute 😭

[@sofiathewitch]

I'm not a fan of Karl Lagerfeld style, so when I read the theme I was not happy at all 🙈 beside my personal preference I get the idea of celebrating an iconic figure of the industry, but for one (1!!) night you can ask absolutely anything to celebrities and stylists, you can let them truly express personality and talent through special and imaginative themes and yet they always came out with the most boring themes 😭 2018 met was incredible, why can't we have something like that every year?

I agreed with almost EVERY POINT YOU MADE!!!! The theme you suggested would have been so much better that I'm genuinely offended no one else thought of it!!!!

[@belorama8]

I said so many times while watching last night and picking my favorites "OMG so many men actually showed up with their assignment done!" First year ever where they were dressed better than the women.

[@Debateyourright]

Your so very knowledgeable and insightful especially on the choice of the theme!! Well done ma'am. This is the kind of educative unbiased reporting we luck today!!

[@MissCane9]

Giving credit where credit is due: Kim Kardashian was on theme with accessories including the chunk chocker and the endless pearls.

[@almostawesomeali]

I'm all for giving points when due but the pearls look so reminiscent of her Playboy spread, and as Tessa mentioned Karl was known more for accessorizing with chains whereas pearls are what the Chanel look was *before* Karl arrived. personally I also think the spanx / shapewear corset looked tacky. all the Kardashians' looks were 🥱

[@isaacb1045]

fav of the evening was undoubtedly anok yai. i cannot stop thinking about that dress

[@lucymay446]

I think that having an in memoriam would have been much better and respectful to the other talents we have recently lost

[@alex9190]

moderngurlz should come up with met gala themes from now on because thats a really good idea

[@rsoubiea]

I too was underwelmed by the lack of accessories on most of the looks. kudos to the ones that were blinged out. i think gigi hadid was my fave

[@lisanixon9284]

Nailed it on the costume jewelry missing!!!

[@marymary-bw2um]

i was talking about the lack of accessories yesterday… like wth was that

[@jamilamunaf7924]

This theme was mainly put there to make celebs and attendies rember how important being on theme is how impressive and cohesive they all look

[@svanitiufologi831]

Anne Hathaway was hands down best dressed in the best way to approach the theme

[@maddieroxx4eva]

I actually liked the theme a lot more then I thought I would once I had seen the looks, but that being said I'm a monochromatic girlie through and through so black and white is going to appeal to me a lot more then other people. I feel like the men did it more for me then a lot of the women too, I was a fan of the elongated jackets and accessories that elevated the basic suit and tied in Lagerfeld's personal style and/or Chanel a bit.

[@ElianaRosalind]

Yaass, I was waiting for thiiiis, you are one of my favorite accounts that talk fashion 💖 Honestly? I liked the more subtly elegant outfits. At least in comparasion with the general debacle in the last years (with a few iconic exceptions), they stuck to the theme, respectfully while keeping it fun. For the most part, ofc. Men's outfits wise, I mean ... again, some amazingly cool, some just the good ol' black tuxedo, couldn't tell ya if its 200$ or 2000$, but i admit, hi, i'm the problem, it's me. I also pretend I do not see the carpet, it's full off white in my mind/black if i wanna use my imagination lol

[@kingkaiiius]

I think FKA Twigs should have been on the list :)

[@Cherrycokexox]

I totally agree with the Dua Lipa one, I loooove that dress and I was hoping someone would wear it, but I wasn’t ready for someone to be wearing ONLY it. She could’ve replicated the look with a hat and jacket or at least accessorised more.
