The Met Gala or Met Ball is "an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City". (Source: Wikipedia)
It raised 12 million dollars in 2014. I bet you didn't know costumes were so important!
In comparison, the the amfAR Gala (the Foundation for AIDS Research) held in Los Angeles in October 2014 raised 3 million.
Yos sayeen'.
In reality, the Met Gala is a big circus where the name of the game is making the biggest impression. Blake Lively where were you? It's not like you to miss a pointless occasion to pause on the red carpet.
To add a little bit of fun, each year, there is a different theme. 2015 was "China: Through The Looking Glass". Some tried and succeeded:
Some went way overboard:
Some clearly missed the China thing memo:
Oh no wait, the CLUTCH looks Chinese:
Reese, this is too Chinese, I can't handle it:
Stylish shark suit I must say...
Rihanna's was much decried as an omelette, but "I" liked it actually.
There are those who just went naked
(and even though my dear Anderson Cooper once said: "This is Beyonce's world and we just live in it", I beg to differ. I'm not part of the Beyonce Worship Movement):
And inevitably, there is the just plain awful. Most are beyond actual comments:
I'll make an exception for Chloé. This girl is my most consistent model for awful. No matter what the occasion, I don't just dislike Chloé's outfits, I find them actually horrible. Her taste is like no one else's. I applaud originality. Her's is just not my cup of tea. In this instance, the straight arms pause is particularly distressing as the dress is clearly falling off.
This is it for my input on this year's display of good, bad and no taste. See you next year.
