Tonight is the night I wait for all year. As I sit anxiously awaiting the red carpet arrivals, I can’t help but imagine what I myself would don to Queen Wintour’s coveted Met Gala. This is the time for our favorite celebs and their stylists to push the limits of fashion and get them out of their comfort zones.
Tonight’s theme, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, is exactly the theme I wanted to see. There were a lot of hits tonight, and a lot of looks that should be transported back to outer space.
Personal Faves:
Poppy Delevingne is serving up vampy, space flapper realness in this tiered Marchesa. This plunging number is coated in jewels, and hugs her body in all the right ways. Pure opulence Poppy.
Burberry model Jourdan Dunn nailed the theme with this futuristic, body hugging Balmain dress. She is LITERALLY dripping in silver, and we are OBSESSED.
Ciara is dropping all of our jaws in this H&M gown. She is EMBRACING the theme tonight with her gorgeous silver hair… and do you see that ROCK on her finger?! Slay girl.
Least Faves:
Taylor we <3 you SO much… but I don’t think we are ready for this side of you. The bleach blonde hair, super dark lip, and knee high strappy heels are competing too heavily with her Louis Vuitton, space mermaid dress. Stop growing up Taylor! I don’t know about you, but we want you to feel 22 again!
This one makes me sad! Our confident girl Demi looks extremely stiff and uncomfortable in this sequin Moschino. The gold and black detail does nothing for the gown. We’ve seen a lot better from her, but at least her body is still rocking, and her face reads fierce, fierce, fierce.
Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed with the majority of the ladies tonight. A few winners doused in metallic glamour…and too many hard misses to count! Here’s to hoping next year they push the boundaries a little further, as I dream about what the theme will be! This space cadet is signing off!
