He also did '2024 met gala theme explained' KZbin video that gives background on the theme, which helps understand some of the more subtle references in the outfits worn. Imo it's worth a watch.

I know they usually have very tight contracts, but you still can hope for a bit creativity or at least better tailoring, you know? A lot of pieces looked like they didn’t fit well

[@eryxsky]

they need to be under a new brand if you want them to dress up like that. we all know what tommy hilfiger's like, but i don't think the boys do. unless they do research about it beforehand, but i doubt it. they've got other things to do, bigger fish to fry. so for the fans, we just take what we can get. i'm super happy that they got invited, Jennie as well. neither of the two fit the theme but hey, they were invited 😭

[@nanadecarvalho7840]

@@eryxskyindeed. I’m happy to see K idols attend the MET but I didn’t expect ANYTHING from their looks.

[@elereal]

I would have loved a corpse bride type of look

[@danicee]

So a lot of people, myself included, looked into the short story that this year‘s met gala was inspired by, and the plot of the short story is about a couple that stays in their home and retreats to use their garden because an angry mob is going to destroy their property. It’s really about the haves vs have nots, the hoarding of resources, and vilifying the masses. I think that too much attention is being placed on their outfits rather than what is happening in the world right now, and this theme, although it was decided last year, feels very tongue-in-cheek and comes across as disrespectful and rude. Some might say elitist… I think that a lot of people are excited to see their favorite celebrities attending, but most did not fulfill their fantasy because they either didn’t understand the theme (or took it literally to be dressed like a flower in a garden) or they realized what the theme was and decided not to dress up because it would have been discussed negatively.

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

Yeah the story is a bold choice.

[@alylopez3721]

Yeah tbh when she was recounting what the short story was I didn’t feel that it was about love or the sands of time, but rather about the rich and elite having the ability, the privilege and resources, to leave the world behind, to live and isolate themselves in peace and in a romantic landscape ignoring the worlds woes. The masses come to reclaim and yet they are the villains.

[@danicee]

@@alylopez3721 Exactly, it's doesn't come across as a story about love but holding onto their privilege and comforting one another in the loss of their privileged life. Because if it was about love none of the material items would matter, they would have each other and that's what would resonate.

[@clairewillow6475]

Now that I know more about the actual theme of the story, I think Emma Chamberland was most on theme with her “decay” dress

[@Dominique129]

I can't remember for sure but I think Doja Cat said the 'secret' to her wet t-shirt look was hair gel. I think she said it during an interview on the carpet lol

[@isabelleskiss]

How strange that no one mentions the main reference for Doja Cat's look, sexist competitions of almost naked women for the male gaze...wet shirt competitions.

[@francescabrega7864]

Their official interpretation is that conservators at the costume institute are buying some time trying to preserve the dresses as long as possible until the decay becomes unstoppable but I completely agree with you, with everything going on right now it is definitely tone deaf.

In defense of anyone confused by the theme, the met gala oficial Instagram had the "sleeping beauties" title in all the photos from the night, i was actually so confused looking at the photos and thinking they all were cosplaying the Disney movie

[@shinyy5184]

I wish we had some mushroom/fungus/mold themed outfits - would've been a really cool take on decay and impermanence that still tied into the garden without being just flowers

[@Jeanette-y]

I love Tyla's look and the hourglass handbag I want one of those of my closet. I wished they did the train of the dress a little better. idk the limitations of scuplting the dress in sand but I wish the train faded away into a sheer fabric so it kinda looked like the sand was disappearing or they played w the sand touching water idea with the train. Just my thoughts though she looked like a queen

[@Atomantia]

I’m so happy you mentioned wsdm because he looked amazing

[@Calabazaza]

Tyla’s was actually amazing. That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The idea is great.

[@ruben3860]

I really liked this year’s Met Gala! I thought this was the best Met Gala since the Heavenly Bodies one of 2018! I thoroughly enjoyed A LOT of the looks, and the majority of people stuck to the theme in SOME way. Even if it was as basic as just having flowers incorporated into the look, thereby ignoring the deeper themes of time and preservation, this still resulted in the majority of looks contributing to a cohesive visual experience on the carpet.

[@mai1316]

vogue should pay you for making this detailed analysis video 👏👏

[@SoraFlora95]

The celebrity (at 18:34 minute mark) with the shaggy white cape and crystal flower two piece was obviously wearing the crystal flowers and displaying the time loop the couple kept themselves in, by rewinding time, living it and rewinding again.. I really like the concept of wearing all the loops 😊. Its not my favorite but in my opinion it doesn’t belong with the uninspired group

[@bo.of.paradise9688]

[@allisonford4052]

I always appreciate your analysis videos because you talk about more than just the a-list celebrity outfits! you do an amazing job showing a wide variety of costumes and talking about ALL the good and bad ones, not just Zendaya and Cardi B. Thank you!!!

[@theresag.4188]

The sand dress was so cool!!!!😍 that girl looked like a young jessica alba.

[@hollywooddarling]

Oh THANK GOD finally someone else that hates Lana Del Rey's look! I feel crazy as a long time Alexander McQueen stan, especially since Widows of Culloden and that closing look is one of his most iconic pieces. The moment Lana showed up I thought it felt like a cheap party city Shein ripoff of the look. It's true that John Galliano adapted his own look for Zendaya, so of course he had an edge in one of those 'referencing an archival piece' looks, but still, Sean McGirr is really proving himself to just rip off Lee McQueen's aesthetics superficially and reproduce/reinterpret them with not even the level of tailoring that Sarah Burton at least delivered since 2012. The construction of the dress and the fabrics looked terrible and the shoes.... guillotine! As we saw with the Karl Lagerfeld year, or the Charles Frederick Worth year, there were some designers that really succeeded in interpreting an iconic designer's vision and adapting it to their own style. McGirr is obviously not one of those designers capable of doing that. I only saw Wisdom Kaye's look much later in the day, and I was really pleased. I had heard that Robert Wun was doing something for someone at the Met Gala but forgot all about it so it was nice to see such a signature Robert Wun look represented at the Met Gala.

[@skyrad4624]

Couldn’t agree more about Ariana’s look. her second look was stunning. I was honestly so surprised when I checked vogues rating of best dressed and almost 60% of people said they thought Ariana’s look was their favorite. Like don’t get me wrong it was a gorgeous look but like it was just okay for the met. Safe at best. she could have something so fun with showcasing her role in wicked besides a white dress.

[@ashrmks]

It was so colorless. So much white/beige/black. I thought everyone would wear saturated bright colors.

Zendaya's first look is my favorite 💜💙🖤

[@LaBellesGrace]

Elle Fanning, Amanda Seigfried, Tyla, Emma and Zendaya were *the* show stoppers of the night, and anyone who says otherwise has bad taste jk 😩 Zendaya’s first look was the first one I saw and my jaw dropped - shes never disappoints! THANK YOU for not just making a review, but actually going in depth about the theme and the inspiration behind each piece. So many ppl online forget it’s something to take into consideration when reviewing and it ends up simply being “eh, I don’t like it.” This channel fuels the fashion wannabe and movie buff in me on a level of perfection. *chefs kiss*

I love this video, you explain things so well. I would have like it even more if you were to talk about the things you didn't like either at the start or middle, I feel like you mentioned so many good things about so many people at the start and all that gets clouded by the negative at the end, so when I finish, my overall feel is negative.

[@niarahancock4739]

Call me mean but if I was in charge of the met gala. I’m not inviting people who’ve messed up the theme two in a row in the 2010s. And if you go off theme but don’t give the decency of looking good then kiss that next invite goodbye. With every 15 years I’d have a redemption year for anyone who wants to get back to the gala and I’d most likely rack up the ticket price to $100k since a lot of people would definitely not make the cut.

[@isabellab103]

Not being on theme is subjective really. There are some people who were on theme but didn’t exactly look spectacular. Also you would lose a lot of funding by not inviting as many people
