The 2023 MET Gala has come and gone, and well I wish it had gone rather faster, considering the lack of care or interest most of the celebrities put into it. The MET Gala exhibit “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” was celebrated with a red carpet attended by the world of celebrity and fashion’s elite. But the theme of the red carpet “In honor of Karl” was certainly followed loosely. Celebrities arrived wearing poor imitations of Karl Lagerfeld’s work at Chanel, while neglecting his work at Fendi, Patou, Balmain, and Chloé so severely it was almost sickening. What was supposed to be an exciting and easy theme to follow, was obviously just too hard.

I love it here💖💖💖✨😘
OMG. Camila in Rodarte was fabulous!! Simple (as in without the LOOK AT ME!! vibe), fresh, subtly sexy with amazing artistry in the entire dress. My favorite.
I love the Rodarte gown. Simple and stunning! 10:45 I believe that draping style is called blouson.
Luke is working so hard on these…someone get him a little treat. He deserves it!
You find soooo many met reviews but no many that actually care about the theme! THANK YOU LUKE
Naomi's dress reminds me of a mushanana, a traditional dress from Rwanda and tribes in southwestern Uganda. At least that's the first thing that came to mind when I saw her outfit.
I love ANITTA
Anok Yai? Sara Choi? Sean Combs? Don’t leave out the best ones of the night 💔💔💔
Wheres anok and sora
Please say theres a part 3 cuz theres def some better dressed people you left outttt
Honestly, This is the only place that I go to see what's going on in the fashion world. I appreciate the amount of research you put into these video's. We aren't just roasting. We are getting history and nuance from the review. I like how We get your personal opinion but also learn why a look does fit a theme. I love how some times your opinion differs. You'll talk about how nice the construction of a garment is. You'll talk about the craftsmanship and the work that does into these pieces. You include how the piece does or does not fit into a theme. Its amazing how you bring up these points whether or not you like the look itself. I didn't even know what a house code was before I started watching your channel. Thanks for all your hard work
Jeremy Pope really did the most with his look and yet this is the first time I've seen it 💀
I agree with Coco Chanel… the bride is stupid… after all she would know…. its her brand….#willand trustinstuctions
Was surprised by the Russell Westbrook mention! Didn’t know he went to the Met Gala & my husband is a huge fan of his so I appreciated seeing this mini crossover of basketball & fashion 🥰 nice to hear that his outfit passed (except the ballet flats lol)
When will you speak of Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Alia Bhatt
Michelle Yeoh didn’t reference Karl Lagerfeld but instead had a her dress made by Karl’s team, using his memory to move forward. As always she is so thoughtful and forever my queen.
Waiting for part 3
❤
I used to watch this channel every single day like 2 years ago, but then as I struggled to keep up with my finances in the face of a fashion industry that every day cared less and less about incentivizing designers with artistic merit but rather corporate-driven, over-commercialized designers, my interest in fashion, along with hopes of being able to truly afford the pieces I wanted fainted rather quickly. But after seeing some of the ridiculous Met Gala fits along with some great ones, I thought to myself "I definitely wanna hear what Luke has to say about these!" so now I'm back and both these Met Gala videos are reminding me exactly why I love fashion. It has nothing to do with whatever design agenda designers are trying to push or how much I may dislike it. It's about individualism and how clothes make us feel special. Even though I didn't love a lot of these looks, and even if they were off-theme, a lot of work and care were put into these looks and that's an artistry I'll always respect. Excited to start catching up more on fashion again. Thanks for the great videos, Luke + Team.
Agree with Luke on Ashley's outfit. Cara's outfit was interesting.
Absolute best part is about 32:40 very ugly very bad very uncreative 😹🤷♀️
Idk why but Cardis look kinda gives me luxurios oyster shell with a pearl init …. soooo lush
Luke, not that I want you to do extra work or have to deal with the politics but….. I wish you were one of the correspondents at The Met Gala instead of random celebrities who know nothing about fashion 😔
where is anok yai.
Viola Davis intentionally dressed in hot pink as a criticism towards Karl (from my point of view) because: 1: He made comments that were fatphobic, racist, sexist, anti-Islamic, nepotist and criticing the woman's body. And 2: He hated the color pink.
olivia worst ever after kylie and kim
Thanks for describing the outfits and the history that inspired many of them.
You're the first person I see who liked Olivia Wilde's look, it was one of my faves but most people preferred the black version. Something about the plain white and column skirt was really elegant to me (even though I'm not a fan of Olivia nowadays).
His sshhowwerr’s are so loaded ha Ashley Graham, Camille…thank you and good night. Conan we see you and Teyana Taylor is always my girl
I need more! I love your content even if I sometimes do not agree with you. But it is still so cool to listen to someone who knows about fashion because I do not.
Maybe Alton can be on a beer can.
I love how watching a HauteLeMode critique of a Met Gala, not only has some bite and some edge, it also shows an appreciation of fashion history, skillful design and work by craftspeople who will probably never have their names known to most of us. Kudos to Luke for "doing the work" and educating us. I am glad that Luke has split this commentary of the 2023 Met Gala into a series as the work showcased deserves time, consideration and total candor.😉
your hair is giving
Thank you Luke!! Watching this right now ☺️
Welcome to today's episode of: trying to figure out who was not invited to the met gala
I was waiiiiiiiitinnnnn for this
Hugo boss comment😂😂😂 33:21
Please speak to anyone who escaped Cuba and get back to me before you judge tourism pre-Castro.
I’m sorry but I thought Olivia Rodrigo’s dress looked like beetle juice 😭
It's very offensive to me that the first BLACK MALE model seen in a Chanel show is put in women's style clothing. I have no idea why any black person would wave the banner of "Chanel" for anything. I say this as a black person having married a white man and love being in diverse circles. But at the beginning, middle, and end of day I'm still black. I have a black brother and father. To see that look on a black man after all this time is ridiculously sad.
Your book collection is awesome ❤️🔥
