      Charli really said lets remove all the colors and whatever made the art interesting.

      I also really like Troye but his outfit was not it.

      Ben Platt went to the *online* gift shop for that jacket. Not the normal one like the rest of you plebs.

      Ben Platt’s is just annoyingly underdone. Like there was no attempt at pointillism or replicating the landscape it’s just a jacket with a lady printed on it

      Some of these make me so sad.

      Really Charli’s stylist, we saw that van Gogh painting and thought “black dress”?

      Really Hunter’s stylist, we saw those colorful florals and instead of doing incredible appliquĂ©s, we did
a tiny GRAY floral print?

      Not to mention all the folks who picked the most drab points of inspiration. The spirit of an art-themed event is color and expression. “Portrait of Madame X” doesn’t exactly make for the most thrilling style statement. And don’t even get me started with Kylie and Kendall’s all-nude- everything all the time. At least Kim TRIED something, even if it was a mess.

      Thank you, Emma Chamberlain and Heidi Klum, for doing it right.

      All the expensive educations in that room and apparently no one ever took any classes beyond Art History I: Greek statues, Klimt, Van Gogh, repeat

      That doesn’t count Ben Platt

      Like something you do last minute cause you forgot about the assignment

      Love that Claire Foy has the arm strap down like JSS originally painted! (He had to repaint it up on her shoulder as it was considered too scandalous!)

      Angela Bassett’s dress just straight up does not fit her chest. Wtf? 

    20. Risperidone- on

      One of my pet peeve is when people scream a fit doesn’t match the theme, but it’s just because they didn’t understand the reference in the first place😭đŸ˜č

    21. haleighr on

      Commenting to come back and see anymore posted bc I love seeing the good and bad interpretations

    23. MissMaster on

      The execution of this theme from most attendees feels like a FIDM student project. 

    24. InformalInsurance455 on

      The execution on the Seurat is kind of sloppy but I’ll allow it. Just makes me miss the Art Institute of Chicago! I was there for a week and I went three times. â˜ș

      Madonna didn’t just wear fashion, she turned the whole carpet into a scene.

      Some of these are really fucking cool, and some of these look like their stylist forgot what was happening until the day before. They’re giving the vibe like they realized they needed a dress the day before and tried to make a vague connection or painted something and called it a day.

    32. Reality_dolphin_98 on

      I’ll never understand why every single person is not on theme and absolutely killing it. They have all the money in world and a well known designer at their fingertips. They’ve known the theme for a long time. And yet some people still show up in a plain looking dress you would see at the Oscar’s/Grammy’s.

      This is the met gala with an art/costume theme. Where is the drama?! Where are the giant couture gowns?! Where are the clever references?! Where is the camp?!

      I need more of Sabrina wearing a dress made of film from the movie Sabrina, that’s the exact theming execution I want to see. I mean to be inspired by a statue that is famous for wings and show up with not even a nod to wings on your dress (Kendall)? Wearing a black dress with a single flower and saying you’re inspired by Van Gough is almost insulting to him (Charli). Why did Katy Perry look like a poor man’s PeaceKeeper? Kim Kardashain looks like if someone asked me to throw together a superhero costume, doesn’t look anything like the inspiration which actually could’ve been done in a cool way. Even the jacket inspired by the afternoon in the garden panting
like wow a direct (poorly done) replica of the painting on a jacket without matching pants!! How inspired! Would’ve been cooler if someone came dressed as the woman in the painting, wearing a dress that was painted in the pointillism style.

      I genuinely think most of these “artists” (nepo babies) know nothing about the art scene or the history of their craft, and just threw on whatever uninspired piece their designer gave them. Such a yawn of a night with *a few* standouts, for a theme that had so much potential.

    33. Outrageous-Dog5425 on

      Hunter looks darling but largely these rich people’s party pictures are mind numbingly boring, art generally should fascinate imo

    36. Upset-Management-739 on

      Claire Foy had the same concept as Lauren Sanchez but better execution

    37. SerBrienneOfSnark on

      Most of these are really weak/drab interpretations of the art work and that’s kinda disappointing. I feel like a lot of stylists/designers played it really safe this year.

      Emma Chamberlain definitely wins for her dress being a good interpretation/reflection of the art that inspired it

    39. makemeking706 on

      Ben Platt told his stylist the night before the Gala that the project was due. 

    40. Haunting-Respect9039 on

      Ben Platt looks like a fabric busy book for toddlers. I feel like those pieces would all come off with velcro.

    41. eenymeenymimi on

      Very fitting that the celebs who went to an event sponsored by the very people supporting AI and eroding the arts all look like drab pieces of shit that couldn’t even emulate their respective pieces of art properly. How do you make Van Gogh and Klimt BORING?

    42. FeralViolinist on

      I feel like so many of these look cheap and slapped together. But I’m not a fashun expert by any means
