the met gala review if you hate the met gala

the "Garden Of Time" met gala theme was definitely not helping at this point.
but wait, there is also the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibition that you can actually visit in the MET aka the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.
every year they manage to keep us hyped about it. its a fashion event without any fashion.
referencing each other and wearing vintage archive pieces is not the topic, meanwhile nobody seems to have any capacity of abstraction when it comes to the themes. Thanks for the flowers attached...everywhere.
Responsible of Zendaya's Met Gala appearances is no-one less than John Galliano, who is actually working for the house Maison Margiela, but also he's mainly referencing his own namesake era, so it's actually just Galliano. Despite the Thom Browne and Galliano appearances, we also need to face the harsh reality of Lana Del Rey in Sean McGirr's Alexander McQueen. Yep. J. Lo for a fact in Schiaparelli, but this also needs to be proven to me still. Where is the Schiaparelli exactly here? Not everybody did fit in the 30 minutes, but I would have loved to include our DojaCat in her wet t-shirt by Guram's Vetements lol.
See this video as our version of The Emperor's New Clothes, so just laugh, we are the proletariat, so thats our only weapon.

I love that you shared your opinion. Abt Zendaya, although I agree that her personality doesn’t match her style,i do think she wears her style well, the theatrics of it all, as opposed to letting the garments wear her n overshadow her.

[@PeachysMom]

To me, it does feel like she’s just modeling the clothes sometimes.

[@mallshoggoth]

"I'm a person of the proletariat, you know? I'm a ready to wear person." mood same so true go off

[@YouTuber-vy7hq]

We want part 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 🙏 ❤

[@redesdale1066]

Your take on Anna+Galliano is SO accurate. Met Gala is her toy. She uses it to make happen what Anna wants to happen, and Anna wants Galliano to happen.

[@johnayalachef]

Anna Wintour is using The Met Gala appointment is her having a chokehold on relevancy. It's very apparent after this year. She's made some really bad decisions and needs to step aside. The rampant monetization, celebrities playing in a dressup box and the vulgarity of wealth pretending to be relatable is done.

[@CharlotteMagdeliene]

F hate the met gala I kind of wish we were still in the time where celebs actually dressed themselves for the red carpet so we could actually know their personalities and the terribleness would be amazing and fun and human and actual fashion no?

[@yael9455]

remember when celebs did their own hair and makeup for the met?

[@mersault999]

"You look like a literal tree." I love you. 🤣💗

[@marilubambi66]

"Mother-in-law in a lebanese wedding" Você é ótima!!!

[@violondon8776]

Omg you’re the first person to share the same thoughts I Have about Zendaya. I think she seems talented and sweet, but the fashion world is trying so hard to make her an ‘it’ fashion girlie and she simply is not that. She’s not edgy and cool enough. She’s very like preppy, good-American-girl and putting her in high fashion feels forced and tacky. It irks me to no end 😂

[@carolina.6365]

I agree 1000%

[@jenniferperry202]

I have the exact same feelings

[@alopexd6504]

TRUTH

[@teddybrooks6149]

My hot take as black woman, is zendaya is code switching for public acceptance but if u know what to look for u can see her real personality underneath and that is cool and relatable that’s why she is an it girl

[@violondon8776]

@@teddybrooks6149 I don’t really think it has anything to do with race. Obviously she is trying to take on a different role as a fashion girlie and be seen as that. Point I was making is it just doesn’t seem like it fits her or feel authentic. It’s like if Gigi Hadid started dressing in more edgier pieces. It would be cool and pretty but it wouldn’t really make sense with her more “commercial” fashion style.

[@lucasreiman3050]

The comment on Galliano is so ACCURATE. His collections for Margiela is completely off the mark and just a guise to allow him to create whatever he likes. Anna will NOT let this man go away and insists that he stays on top of everyone's mind. Excited for who is coming after him at Margiela!

[@monishkhemani2940]

‘You don’t need to be sprayed with plastic to be cool, guys’ hahaha such deep cuts.

[@elotimmi4942]

Tuba is my comfort youtuber. I even open the videos on my laptop just to watch on the big screen

[@stephaniescott424]

Part 2 please! Your commentary is so entertaining.

[@monishkhemani2940]

I’m glad you did this video and so tastefully too, it can be difficult to pick apart peoples hard work especially in divisive times like these, but it is also necessary to speak your mind

[@Kitakita87]

You have guts to voice your opinions so decidedly without apology. Most fashion people won’t go there. I’m here for that kind of truth.

[@chill_sander]

The MET gala review we all wanted and got served

[@alexandrayabrov7456]

You are one of a kind! I am so happy to hear someone talking about J.Lo or Zendaya... without bowing down to mediocrity.

[@linahasselgren4726]

I agree with you about it being disrespectful to Margiela to not just call it what it is. That's an important point that I haven't heard any mention of elsewhere online. I differ from you in some of your comments, especially about Zendaya, I think she wears the fashion well and seems to enjoy it since she has come up with a lot of the ideas herself, like wearing the Mugler robot outfit. You have to have some interest in it to do that, and I would argue that it shows authenticity. I too did dislike that green blue dress however. And as far as the gala goes, I would say that it's important to point out why the MET gala is important for fashion and for the regular people on the street. The purpose of it, is after all, to raise money for the costume institute at the MET, which doesn't get funding from the actual museum. It's amazing for the general public to be able to go and see historical clothing up close and learn about the history of fashion. Although I think there is some irony in the whole thing, considering a couple of years ago Kim Kardashian showed up on the carpet wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress, which caused irreversible damage to it. Fast forward to this year, the exhibition showcases garments that can only be shown in dim light, behind glass because they are so fragile. It makes no sense for someone to be on the red carpet, raising money for the sake of the preservation of the very same type of thing they just damaged. Clearly the execution of it all is flawed, but I just wanted to point out the importance of it, even to regular folk.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

Agreed! And thank you for mentioning the point of this. Maybe I’m biased because I do kind of relate to Zendaya’s approach (she’s way more stylish than me though). Most of the time I like to be low key but occasionally I go to the other extreme. And I really do love it!!!! I love to dress up but I don’t love to do it often, so to me it makes perfect sense. Imo she wears those looks incredibly well even though it doesn’t match her usual vibe! What happened to poor Marilyn’s dress was awful, it should never have been in Ripley’s care…

[@EmL-kg5gn]

I loved Tyla’s dress!!!! I love the thought behind it and the way it wore over the evening really matched the nothing lasts forever aspect of the theme

[@ttangg55]

This was so refreshing, please do a part 2!!

[@jamesallison4875]

I feel that Anna and her dour personality has taken this event in a negative direction. It’s all, totally a commercial. There is no spark or spirit of fun and adventure. Because, everyone is in fear of the great ‘Wintour’. She needs to be replaced.

[@pop_boy2003]

luv your videos and i’d certainly appreciate part 2

[@morningstarrss]

We have been blessed with another video! I love this channel ahhhhh!! ❤

[@noasabbah2361]

please make a part 2, you’re articulating so many thoughts I have on the met gala

[@sofia_c_1]

Bad Bunny is a Reggaeton singer 😂 He usually eats all other men up in these events but I have never been certain wether it is because he has style or because most of the men's fashion choices in these events are as interesting as pre-sliced white bread.

[@Mangakuray]

I want a part 2 please :) after you have checked out the theme etc ...I absolutely loved this review.

[@KristaDanciulescu101]

Part 2, please! You're amazing!

[@pilarsignori2718]

Thank you for the video. Excellent work. A more critical and analytical perspective on a media event. Loved it!!!

[@katierowboat]

You make me feel so much less alone!! I didn't mind Gerwig's look because everyone else looked so absurd. I almost prefer it when people don't bother with the theme at all. I don't know... this whole event has never been my thing, and I'm not anti-couture. I love an over the top look. What is it about this event that always creates so many nightmarish looks??? What was with the colour choices? Ugggh

[@androandrex8000]

Thank you Tuba!! Love your BUTs and Analogies!! YES! xx

[@ariavenger]

THANK YOU for the Lana del Rey critique 🙂‍↔️🙏🏽 I really loved the look until I saw the Alexander McQueen reference and I was like “oh no.” They did not do it justice and her outfit looks like the great value version of the original.

[@jeannettemann96]

You are on point as usual. I want to see part 2, etc.

You speak the language of the truth! Thank you for your videos! This is my favourite KZbin channel 😇

[@Ray03595]

Not the biggest fan of Zendaya dress either. Disagree about her not being authentic though and I think people are just trying to box her into who they think Zendaya is. Idk why she can’t have a “nice girl” vibe and also like to serve looks. It just seems very exclusionary. She looks confident on her red carpets looks and sells what she is wearing. At least in my opinion. More shocked about liking Kidman’s dress. Thought it was awful and looked like she was stuffing an ostrich under her dress

[@ElderMoreMind]

As per usual, Kidman’s dress was a pale imitation of the real thing. The original Balanciaga dress Kidman’s dress was based off of was amazing though.

[@SoaringSpear]

JLo was one of the co-chairs for the Met this year😭 I find it so funny Daniel Roseberry didn’t come with her

[@BethVonBlack]

I saw the perfect reel yesterday. It was the Met Gala spliced with scenes of Gaza - the Hanging Tree song from Hunger Games played over the top. That pretty much sums up my feelings about The Capitol/The Met Gala.

[@linaselezneva8430]

waiting for the second part!

[@mishamoreno7673]

been waiting for this, in tuba we trust

[@SoaringSpear]

The galliano looks recently have been especially disappointing considering how many of them are just references to his old work instead of ANYTHING Margiela

[@waterwaters]

Hello hello hello?

[@onlypositivethinking8154]

I want part 2!

[@fmtoreador]

You said what every fashion person was thinking ❤ part 2 please.. what did you think of Chloe Seviney? Thoughts? I enjoy your videos so much!!! You tell it like it is!!!!

[@WhamBamThankYouMadam]

Yes! Most of the event was rather intellectually uninspiring. People (commentators and gala invitees alike) were so literal-minded about the theme's title, if they paid any mind to it at all. They didn't really explore the significance or even the irony of the theme. I came away starved as a spectator of this whole event. The fashion references were lazy!!!

[@monishkhemani2940]

Part two is necessaryyyyy

[@sarab6415]

Part 2, please💖

[@peanutgallery3493]

Yes, part 2 please! And touch on Chloe Sevigny, dress, hair, jewelry, there’s actual meaning there, not just the flowers stuck on like most did. I’m tiiiired of Zendaya, guess I’m the only one. It’s all just trying too hard with her, but agree she’s talented. Danke!

[@Midgiemoon]

Part 2 please!

[@tanyatanya3810]

Which hair gel do you use, if you don't mind me asking?

[@katerinaschenke819]

I want to know as well

[@user-go9wr5qv7r]

I totally agree with Zendaya trying a new updated John Galliano look instead of copying and pasting.

[@redesdale1066]

PART 2 !!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@selena___]

Yes please to part 2. Do you think people should be wearing archival looks (or are they not unique?)? Zendaya's looks were not what I was expecting particularly post the Dune press tour with that much hallowed Mugler look. So I was interested in your thoughts. I would be interested to know what percentage of looks Anna Wintour considers to be on theme in any year. Perhaps a design compeition would help.

[@darklin333]

Do more ..part two please 💌

[@mariarodriguez5835]

Thank you for saying you didn't like these looks. I think the KZbinrs I follow were trying to find positive things desperately even though there was not much to save ... I really enjoy your take so please I would really enjoy a part 2 if it's not too much negativity for you

[@scarletdemonss]

PLEASE make a part two talking about Doja Cat's wet T-shirt dress, I'd love to know your opinion bout that one, the inspiration behind and the use of irony as a creative resource by brands like Vetements or Moschino. Taking into account she was one of the most expected and debated looks on this year's Met Gala, do you think she successfully defied expectations or how do you see it?

[@sarahsakari5648]

Part 2 please

[@sophie-aaa]

Honestly, I understand your opinion on Galliano, but to me 2018-2024 Margiela shows are good and consistent even in the context of house's legacy. Showing a weird random look on the red carpet won't affect the brand's identity and worldbuilding for me.

[@johnayalachef]

The discourse on Zendaya being a fashion Icon is correct. She's being dressed but it's not organic. I would go so far to say she's a fashion doll, not an interesting emerging actor. When she appeared in the Maria Robot look she stopped being an actor. Her stylist is overpowering her career.

[@akuhappy3246]

The robot look in dune 2 promo cycle was her idea, not her stylish

[@johnayalachef]

@@akuhappy3246 Thank you for correcting me. I get some of her intentions it's about having fun with fashion. Wearing a robot costume because you can, says nothing about her as an actor. Yeah, it's Muglar I know if you dig deeper, the real reference is Metropolise. A dystopian movie. Marie was a robot and a copy of a woman. A woman without a soul. It's not that deep? Maybe, but hardly a smart choice.

The theater girl in me would have loved to participate the met gala this year, the theme of the costumes and of the exhibition are so inspiring 🤩 I would have made something that change with time, a dress that transforms.

[@judithholder2537]

It, as all art, can be pulled apart layer by layer. I think it is somewhat interesting as a costume (not fashion) parade. Personally I do not enjoy seeing nipples & butt cracks though!

OMG Thank you Tuba about Galiano ! I have exactly the same opinion ! I loved Galiano, I loved so much Dior by Galiano, I love Margiela, and I am angry since the last "Margiela" haute couture show. Does people forgot about the fashion from Galiano? Some pieces are literaly quotes from the fall Couture Dior 2005. Does people forgot about what is Margiela frashion? First time I hear somebody talk about all of this in those termes!

[@Cosmicsparkles767]

What are you wearing? It’s so good. ❤

[@ElderMoreMind]

Going to buck the trend and ask for another video- but not on this. The Mid Gala is always a disappointment, littered with bad copies of great dresses/looks most reworked to be more ‘glamorous.’ I don’t need another round of asking myself how an amazing runway look or vintage couture piece could be remade into something so bad. Lana Del Rey’s dress captured the whole sad spectacle. That said, Pat McGrath’s makeup looks were amazing. 👍

Hi Tuba North America girl, I'm so happy to hear your review Bad Bunny aka Benito Ocasio was by far the best dress male runner up Usher Zendaya I love her 2nd look but best dress was Nicole Kidman runner up Cardi B The worst dress Kim Kardashian I appreciate seeing the themed Gala Queen of fashion Anna Wintour was just ok she has done better

[@Gian_Valkiri]

This Mid Gala make me upset because the Galliano clothes, like Margiela Galliano was making clothes like artisanal 2024 since the S.W.A.L.K.S., using now for hype make me angry. Another thing about Artisanal 20204 that upset me is everybody remebering the collection from the chin up, no one remember the clothes, the only one apart from that is the panties Jlo in Schiaparelli is the first sign of the downfall of Daniel, the brand is operating in loss for 2 years, the belt is tighten now, thats why they made that dress so generic, no one was using the Daniel vision.

[@Sewingtrue100]

The Met Gala was rubbish, a lot of celebrities did not follow the theme. At 75 000 ticket, they could more than afford to do better.The celebrities are supposed to be the most creative people on the planet, and this is what they have to offer, all about selling junk we do not need. Even if the dress looks good, how difficult is it to follow the brief. This could be a place that could support domestic industries and create jobs, instead of supporting multinationals that are only in it for the money. I disliked the celebrities flogging high priced jewellery and watches nobody could afford. It’s time for change.
