so every year we have the MET gala, and i'm gonna tell you right away that this year
you don't really have to pay attention to it. if you haven't seen the looks - that's fine. at
first when i saw the looks, i thought okay i'm gonna look up what the inspiration was behind
them, what the concept is you know? Ezra: "i have a master's degree in american literature,
there is nothing i can't handle". try to kind of figure out whether maybe i'm missing something
and maybe there is some kind of connection in terms of the theme. just as I suspected, by looking
at the garments, almost no one followed the theme. that's what this met gala looks felt like this
year, as if they were just slapped together, and then they tried to explain to the reporters how
it even relates to the theme of the event. first and foremost, the theme is gilded age. if you don't
know, it's like 1870s to 1900s- "american literature"- in short, for anybody who's not really that well
versed in fashion, it's basically you know those big butts, like when they come out at the back on
dresses, poofy sleeves, they kind of go up, they're not really that poofy, but they kind of have this
structure. we're gonna really go through them really quickly, because i already cannot believe
that i wasted so much time reading the interviews and explanations of designer
stylists, the celebrities, as to why they wore what they wore, i cannot believe that i wasted
that much time on that nonsense!! so we're gonna really power through it, okay? starting with all
the gold looks, because for some reason a bunch of people got either confused
by the word gilded, or they thought that they were gonna be really unique, creative, by going
"what if we're not gonna pull from the gilded age as much as we're gonna pull from the word gilded??"
cara Delevingne saw the theme, and thought "i'm gonna paint myself gold, and it's going to be gilded!"
same thing for this cardi b versace look... do you get it??? it's gilded!!! uh??? it's cool, right ???it's gilded
what if i wear that, but gold???? how about- and just hear me out- how about we go to the event dressed
in something gold???? you might not get it- but it's gilded!! it means gold!! what do you mean it's not
on theme??? it's gold!!! oh my god, is it gold! is it gold because gilded means covered in gold? wow... wow...
iris van Herpen, i love iris van harpen, i've made videos about her before, i have praised her before
i love her work, okay? this year's looks are exactly the same as last year's, okay? you have four people
wearing your stuff, i do not understand why we have these looks that have nothing to do with the theme
the thing is... they didn't even try, they didn't try to even come up with some kind of connection
conceptually speaking, and it's not that difficult! you can come up with something out of your ass
honestly, and kind of connect it just some way, i've seen somebody trying to say that this piece that
dove is wearing is inspired by the boning of the bustle... this is- you're reaching, you're reaching
way too far... you're trying to give them way too much credit! they just did not try, that's what
it is! van herpen's dresses are at least pretty so whatever but it's still annoying you know it's it
feels like a rehash complete rehash of last year plus complete lack of connection to the theme it's
just too much burberry gave us some of the worst looks on the carpet and one of the best let's talk
about the best one first because i don't want to just be ranting the entire time you know so
bad bunny he wore this burberry trench coat kind of thing kind of dress the only thing i did not
like about this look was the zipper that's in the middle i know that burberry does that a lot
like it's not like a new thing for the brand it's actually really on brand but i just didn't like
the way that the zippers looked the way that they were positioned i wish it was something different
i don't know why it's bothering me but it is bothering me i do love the sleeves i like how it
is related to period the gilded age i really like the hair i think the hair was a really good idea
definitely an interesting outfit especially for a man because most men at the met gala were wearing
very boring stuff this is not only a good look for the men that showed up but they met but it's also
a good look in general like it's one of the top looks in the entirety of the showcase the other
looks from burberry this is where we kind of get into this weird situation what the hell is nikki
wearing i'm tired just by looking at this i saw her walking and i saw her in from different angles
wearing this outfit i understand the references as they said i i wasted too much time reading up
on all the references and everything it wasn't worth it because the fact of the matter is who
measured her who measured her and gave her this dress to wear to the mad gala i'm not one of those
people that in real life when i see people on the street and i see something not fitting well
that i would go how could you even wear that or how could you buy that and wear this no like i
don't give a [ __ ] you know like clothes don't fit sometimes and most of the time they don't
really especially when you buy from big retailers or when you shop vintage and there's not a lot of
options or whatever it is you know but when it's a big big brand with tons of money measuring you and
making a garment to fit you how on earth does it happen explain it to me because i don't get it you
can tell that nikki wasn't feeling it either like you can tell that she wasn't into this whole look
irina it's not like i have really strong feelings against an old leather outfit or something but
what the hell does it have to do with the gilded age i just don't think that there's an excuse to
being that lazy when you do things like that going to the med presenting fashion pieces and whatever
as your job you know like it's one thing when it's a bunch of people going to prom you can't be like
the silhouette is just not not that great it's just not that interesting and your concept is
boring like you can't be doing that because people don't care enough they just want to look
pretty but in this case you're this is all about concepts and it's all about looking good at the
same time of course it's subjective some people like that something some people don't like others
i'm not saying that you're all gonna agree on everything or we're gonna agree on everything but
there's a limit to how boring and lifeless and lazy you could be you know bella the thing is
she's pretty and it's always very distracting you look at her and you go oh i think i like this look
but then in reality when you really think about it it's kind of just don't think that it has anything
to do with the gilted age i don't think that this is one of her best looks i think it's quite boring
really to compare to some of the other things that she's worn before so on to valentino listen
that whole gimmick of having pp pink happening all the time is like sure like you're doing this thing
fine especially when it's on your runway you could say good and bad things about going for one color
for one specific color for making a signature color for a brand the fact of the matter is
you can't just be taking pieces from your collection that have nothing to do with the
theme and then have them as the met like how is this in any way related to the gilded age this is
just one of their dresses that they just took from the collection and just sent it to the red carpet
this is genuinely terrible i do not understand all of the pieces from valentino were like this
this peepee pink color and all of the looks had nothing to do with the gilded age it's
not like i objectively hate them using monochrome looks it's just the fact that they didn't try to
even alter it even even a little bit to at least have some type of inspiration in the silhouette
from the gilded age you know there were quite a few american celebrities there were quite a few
american brands that were at the met for some reason miss sohi which is a korean designer
somehow she got the theme which is an american theme it's very american gilded age is very
american i don't know how all of those celebrities like american celebrities and their stylists i
don't know how they got confused because there's not that much history american history to get
confused with do you know what i mean it's not like you're dealing with thousands of
years of history this is more on theme look at the inspiration in the sleeves of the
shoulder i know that the dress technically isn't gilded age or anything like that but it still
references it even if a little bit you know that's all i want just a little bit i'm not telling you
to make a whole look out of it historically accurate representation of glitch i'm not
saying that you need to do that but you have to at least try a little bit same thing goes for another
look that so he created this is the back the way that the sleeves have a little bit of this lower
swoop going on the shoes also have the lacing going all the way up of course nobody wore
thigh high boots at that time but the look of the boot is very much on theme versace first of all
olivia rodrigo she's pretty i really like the way versace garments look when they're like sparkling
whatever they always do it really well i know that the butterflies in her hair it's like um
not too debutants of the time and how there was like dead butterflies released or whatever
i mean sure but it's a little bit of a reach again this look i wanted to put it in the gold section
there's so much more going on that i was like okay fine i'm gonna put it in the versace section
it doesn't suit her in the top portion makes her look disproportional this look actually like the
jacket but it again it has nothing to do with the gilded age blake lively i'm sure you've seen
her dress it's been all over the place it is a dress that had a transformation
she was you know in all bronze then they unfold her not her not her her dress
this is the new couch it has this teal color that matches the statue of liberty i really love the
idea i think that the concept is great that's how you do a subversion of a concept of a theme
while still being creative and interesting instead of being lazy and boring you know
top of the dress the way that it's structured is a little boring but i don't think that it
matters because the whole effect was all about the oxidization going from bronze to teal the
way that statue of liberty went from bronze to teal it's great i think it suits her specifically
i like the way that it looked like a bustle when it was folded up i have a feeling that
it was blake's doing considering all the other versace looks to be honest cole sprouse
just what is happening what is this he looks like a soup can whatever sydney sweeney she
had a dress that transformed so it was this long dress and then she took it off the skirt off and
there was a shorter skirt underneath that's a very boring transformation i don't know why that was
even necessary to be honest i don't think that it did anything sometimes i look at a dress and then
after i see that it transforms in some kind of way it makes it a lot more interesting like in
the case of blake lively for example if the dress was just teal or if it was just bronze i don't
think i would have liked it as much as i like it together i think that it would have been very weak
work if it wasn't merged into one look here the transformation is not doing anything there's no
point in having it to be honest it doesn't reveal anything interesting this is not gaga giving you
four looks and one and also sydney's stylist has been doing really poorly lately did you notice
i don't know what's happening but sydney is a very pretty girl it's hard to make someone
pretty look bad and somehow they still managed to do it now gucci most looks were trash and then one
look was good how it happened who why i don't know but i'm gonna show you in quick succession so we
got jessica justine do not understand how in any way this is related to gilded age i don't care for
your explanation if it doesn't actually fit the theme aquafina if if with jessica even though the
look is not fitting the theme at least the dress is like fine i guess i don't like it but it's
fine with aquafina when i saw it i i gasped dear god because it was so bad what is happening here
why would you put a dress like this on her what's with the with the black waistline cuffs like what
is happening what is with the shape it looks like this dress was washed in an old washing machine
and then tumble dried in a really old dryer and it came out and it was looking like real rough
as if it was worn for like 70 years and like every single day you know it looks like it doesn't even
fit her in terms of sizing why does this keep on happening how how hard is it to put something that
fits on a person anderson pack i like how much fun he was having with this look i saw the video
once again what the hell does this outfit have to do with theme dakota johnson just what is this
jared leto being a weirdo again i i feel like i can't look at him objectively anymore just because
of all the cold things and his behavior with his co-stars and constant hitting on underage girls
and all the stuff that he's done with the groupies when he was in 30 seconds tomorrow i don't like
this guy and it's hard to look at him objectively strange and i also don't care for it billy so with
billy eilish she's got a gucci dress on i was surprised that it was gucci the color palette
was kind of tipping me off that it was good but everything else i was just not expecting that
gucci even gave us one good look because there were so many bad ones at first i did not like
these leaves but now i think that without the sleeves this look wouldn't work as well
i don't know why i kind of warmed up to them i do like the palette the color palette it kind of
gives us a little bit of a quirk to it i love the construction of this dress this is gilded
age i love how she went for it i love that she emulated the mullet look of the dress with her
mullet hair as well i don't think that it's mullet like like proper mullet per se but it looks like
it you know in terms of the construction this fits her i'm glad that she was feeling herself like you
could tell that she was enjoying the look this was a win cesa vivian westwood i kind of see the
inspiration from the golden age but it's really loose however i still appreciate that they were
going for it and i think that it's a good look i enjoy it i think it's one of those that i actually
liked it's a good blend of you know the old and the new i think that vivian always does that well
because that's kind of like her whole shtick for like 20 years that's what she was doing in
the middle of her career so it kind of makes sense you know that this would be the look a few jenner
kardashians to go through because of course we do i believe this is a prada look it's fine i guess
the ruffling looks loosely related to the gilded age i think she's the closest one to the attempt
at following the theme with the kardashian jenner group and also she looks the least ridiculous
or more appropriate for an event like that now kim kardashian i know a lot of people were talking
about that and whatever the thing is i don't care about like archives and like whether someone wore
it and didn't wear it i don't care the thing that i do care about is the fact that this dress which
looked fantastic on maryland to the point where it became iconic and became one of the staple looks
of marilyn how did she make it look like a fashion nova bodycon dress how did she manage to do that
i don't understand i'm not quite sure the point is i even posted it on my instagram because i was
like what the hell is this this is a dress from 1962. that's a whole century off explain to me how
are we always a century off the same thing by the way with all the people on twitter when they were
comparing you know what we got at the met gala and what they actually wanted to see which was
the gilda day the thing is everyone on twitter who was posting the gilded age inspired looks
half of them if not eighty percent of those looks were rokoko rokoku is not gilded aged those are
two different things that's a century too early kim we got the century too late it makes no [ __ ]
sense the same same thing with bieber haley her dress she was inspired by some model or whatever
from the 90s or some [ __ ] and it's like do you understand the theme you're 100 years off lizzo i
liked her look i wish she took off her jacket to show off her dress underneath
on the main carpet i like that she came with her flute the worst look of the night
kylie jenner listen i hate this so much this is the for me this is the worst look of the night i
find it offensive it's just so bad what was off-white thinking why would they do such a
thing the backwards baseball cap the worst part about it to me is the top half one of those shirts
again from h m in 2013 you know those shirts that honestly no one should be caught in even dead it's
one of those things that weren't even cute at the time let alone now this is not only not on theme
but also objectively ugly a lot of looks were like that i know but this one is just to such
an extreme that you just sit there like how the hell did this happen the brand name just under
here evan mock uh i liked his look i like the color the only thing is that the references
except for the color are not the right time period it is a corset but it is kind of more of a rococo
shape more of like late 1790s rather than 1890s at least that's what it looks like to me i might
be wrong i also like that the color that he has that's kind of reminiscent of what women were
wearing at the time except it's a little bit more like flared out rather than tight on the
neck i enjoy the look in general it's a good fit for him emma schumer just you guys try a little
just a little okay emma chamberlain i know that some people thought that the look was a little
bit plain or a little bit not as like exciting or whatever i love it i think that all of it worked
because i think that if there was a bunch of crap on her skirt if it wasn't just plain white skirt
that kind of mimicked the silhouette of some of the dresses of the time i think that it would
have been an overkill especially for emma i think that she wouldn't suit something so ornate i think
that this type of look it makes her look chic it makes her look well put together and it is
on theme because of her top being kind of like a slightly deconstructed reconstructed take on the
dresses of the gilded age i love this look i think it suits her very well maybe for somebody else i
would say maybe the skirt should be different but this looks good on her and i think that this was
the right decision to be honest now vanessa hudgens i can see where the inspiration is
coming from it's definitely not entirely off theme in terms of the silhouette the sleeves
are kind of taking inspiration from the gilded age sure but god do i hate this look i do i
know that some people liked it i'm not saying that you're a terrible person for liking it or
you don't have taste for liking or something i'm just saying that it reminds me of fashion nova
or h m the way that it it is it's just not giving it it's not chic and also i am so sick and tired
of like naked looking dresses unless they are something super original like it is one herb and
i don't want to see it anymore i just don't want to see it camila cabello who put a duvet on the
girl who put a goddamn duvet on her explain that to me what are we doing here i don't understand
maybe change the fabric or something whatever this med gala is a waste of your time if especially
if you're someone who is actually in useful professions like you're in stem or something
i'm sorry for wasting your time with this nonsense too that's what we do here we talk about fashion
and uh how to talk about it we're gonna have a new segment on the podcast the hot take of the week
i'm gonna read one of your comments from my video expand on some kind of idea that you suggested
or you wanted me to talk about or maybe you can tell me some kind of story from your life and be
like lisa what do you think of this or whatever we're not going to be doing like a whole podcast
about it or something like that i just want like a little segment where we can talk to each other
more because for me it is boring just making videos without communication with you guys i want
to kind of expand on that in the podcast and have more communication with you if you ever feel like
leaving some kind of comment about the topics that we talk about in the videos or about art fashion
pop culture whatever it is hit me up and i will see you next time soon with another video bye
