Met Gala Thread

[Velar Fricative]

Get ready to post photos as people start showing up!! I’ll be on and off tonight but will try my best to share some.

Saw this earlier and it made me giggle, be in awe at her ability to laugh/accept herself, and get excited for tonight.

Also the theme is "In America: An Anthology Of Fashion"

I read this as “America: An Apology in Fashion” at first.

So far, meh.

I have a huge crush on Melissa King

[smock]

Blake Lively and Ryan Renolds look fab!

[gardengal]

I don’t know who most of these people are. However, Hamish Bowles (I don’t know him) is dressed exactly as I’d expect someone with his name to dress! Fancy, with humor.

I also like Blake Lively’s dress but I’m not convinced it fits the theme vs being just a pretty dress

I thought the theme was "Gilded Glamour"? I'm waiting for someone to show up with an "eat the rich" bustle. 😆

[smock]

So Blake's dress was apparently inspired by the Statue of Liberty (a Gilded Age gift from France!), and like the real statue, it changed colors.

They said the dress theme is gilded glamor & white tie.

[smock]

Janelle Monàe definitely has the glamor part down!

[foundmylazybum]

Just a question.

If the theme is "in America: an Anthology of Fashion"

I feel like..id choose American designers.

Maybe not US, maybe not even North American, but if I showed up in Italian 🤔

I also have no idea who this person is (or probably anyone else in attendance) so I’m not watching - but this tweet came up on my feed with the story behind Bowles’ tiara if anyone is interested:

I'm told these people are Isabelle Boemeke and Joe Gebbia.  I'm not familiar with them, but I really liked her interpretation of the theme.

Cynthia Erivo

[Velar Fricative]

Kodi Smit-McPhee, aka the Met Gala's emergency plumber:

[Velar Fricative]

I'm told this is a person named Sebastian Stan and he really picked a color and stuck with it.

[Velar Fricative]

I think Alicia Keys' "I'm going to make it very obvious where this event is happening" gown is my favorite.

[jigsy]

Okay...not knowing 99% of the people posted so far, I totally get...But Sebastian Stan Velar Fricative? The Winter Soldier aka Bucky Barnes. You know him. Right? lol

She knows what song is going through our heads when we see that dress, very strategic.

The only reason I know who those two characters are are because I literally just Wikied this guy and that's what it said lol.

[Velar Fricative]

I don't know why I love this but I do, maybe because Gemma Chan can wear anything and make it look good.

[Velar Fricative]

Oh, Jared Leto...

ETA: Other sources say it's Jared Leto but the NYT is now saying they're in the middle of confirming that it's not...

[notreal]

Glenn Close is twinning Sebastian Stan

[notreal]

Nicola Coughlan.

[Velar Fricative]

I don't want to post the picture of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner because of @, but I do love Sophie's hair a lot.

[notreal]

I think I would really like Jared Leto's if it wasn't being worn by such an odious human being.

It isn't him! Apparently it's Jared Leto's doppelganger but media sources are confirming it's Fredrik Robertsson. I don't know who he is but hopefully he is less odious.
