    Met Gala Fashion pt III

Transcript

I have nothing negative to say about this dress. Dior camera film on Sabrina. I'm impressed by how they got this to drape, and I'm really curious what the photos are of. Really cool headpiece. Sarah Paulson in Tier Fekal. She knew exactly what she was doing here. Ananya Birla and Robert won with a really fascinating headpiece. Rank is by Bad Gupta. It's terrifying and thrilling. Their steel kitchen utensils and other metal objects makes for a stunning reveal. I like the emphasis on suiting rather than just a traditional gown. It frames those jewels really nicely. This is a great Met Gala debut. A Michael Kors dress that I actually like. I'm as surprised as you are. Janelle Monae and Christian Siriano. Electric lady. It's covered in wires and moss, kind of found object art. I like it. I'm not gagging. I really wanted the Monet Lisa. Madonna, what the hell? This feels cheap to me. I'm sure it isn't. It's just kinda boring. Natasha Punwalla as a walking orchid is insanely cool. Karlie Kloss as a walking head of Dior. Garlic is less cool. I'm annoyed because I really love this. Clemente Domingo and Valentino. It's giving clown, but it's about costume and fun fashion, so I'm cool with it. This material makes me deeply uncomfortable, which I guess is a good thing, but I don't, like, love the look. There's a lot going on with Serena here. Can't say any of it is good. This part is really pretty, but that's about it. Margot, I love you so much. What is this? Very pretty Versace gown on Blake Lively, but it feels off theme. I'm a little disappointed from Gabrielle Union, to be honest. Beautiful gown on her, but it's a stoned naked dress. I don't know if this look on Jimmy Butler belongs at the Met Gala, but I want the entire outfit. Anakii. Dramatic, haunting. I love the gold face paint. Chase Infinity and Tom Brown, one of my favorites of the night. Body focused, so artfully rendered, and I love the color story. The styling is perfect. Kim clearly went the body route. The bodice is cool, but the skirt feels like a mess. Tier Taylor and Tom Ford Ford giving swamp monster. This is a weird kooky costume made of a beautiful material. She could sell me anything. Let me know what you think of these looks. Okay. Bye.
