Well, my dear readers, it is a new year! Tonight is the Golden Globes so it seems like the right time to wrap up the Met Gala from last September. What is time anyway?
THE WTF
Erykah Badu!
This is like a hidden picture search in Highlights Magazine if they made a Highlights Fashion edition. See how many you can find:- Crystal quartz necklace
- Top hat
- Fencing mask
- Dagger ring
- Bow tie
- Fashion drawstrings so as not to trip on gown
- Dachshund purse
Naomi Osaka (with Cordae Dunston)
Naomi looks like an astounding sculpture out on loan from MOMA. And appropriately, she has Dick Tracy protecting her through the evening.
Ben Platt!
I guess Ben decided to use the Met Gala as an opportunity to debut his one man Bee Gees tribute show You Should Be Dancing.
Kid Cudi!
I kind of love this and it was definitely shocking to see a club kid situation on the red carpet. That said, I want more from the makeup.
Kim Petras!
The Met Gala fashion equivalent of "Please clap."
Pharrell and Helen Lasichanh!
Reliable WTF-ery from Pharrell and Helen. This matching getup would not be in the WTF, though, except that it is entirely leather and I can only imaging the sweat situation going on between skin and clothes.
Megan Rapinoe!
Aside from the unfortunate footectomy Megan sufferer from these pants, the WTF part of this is that it SHOULD be campy but it's reading sincere and that will not stand in my book. Not that one can stand easily without feet.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky!
Now, coming to the Met Gala just wrapped in quilts and diamonds? THAT is camp. Another masterpiece at the Met Gala from Riri.
Kim Kardashian!
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with Aurora James!
Remember when this was such a big thing? What was that, like 4 years ago or something? Seems like a lifetime.
Carolyn B. Maloney!
I preferred this politician's look because it's giving me Glynis Johns as Winnifred Banks and that is pretty much everything I want.
Jeremy Pope (seen here with Janet Mock)!
I understand the idea of this outfit and I do love this neckline on Jeremy Pope but the execution of the look comes off as What if Siegfried & Roy But Melting. Also, I have tried for years but I cannot make myself tolerate the cloven hoof shoes. At this point, I just refuse.
Serena Williams!
Honestly, considering what I can see of the lace body suit and realizing there are dumb looking pink stars all over it, I'm feeling fine about this Snuffleupagus coat moment. But the top of this really does make her look like a floating head.
Whoopi Goldberg, Pierpaolo Piccioli, and Carey Mulligan!
Whoopi looks like a high fashion purple artichoke with leg warmers on her arms. Carey looks like she's playing dress up with her younger cousin and managed to fit into the doll's clothes but only just. And Pierpaolo looks so proud. (Meanwhile Maya Rudolph is on the phone desperately trying to get that purple number for the Golden Globes. Do they have it in orange, she wants to know.)
and finally.....
Iman!
Absolutely none of us are worthy! This is a Full Tonga!
