Pretty sure I was in the hospital with an intestinal infection being forced to eat deli meat during last year’s Met Gala. For the full story, be sure to catch up on my podcast before we launch new episodes next month!
Luckily, that was not the case this year.
The 2017 Met Gala theme was Comme des Garçons’s Rei Kawakubo and the stars truly SHOWED UP to support the costume institute. A mix of lumpy, bumpy cocoon dresses; deconstructed to the max, the celebs and designers stayed true to themselves by doing what they do best – – going against the rules. So thematic.
Red is apparently the new black as it was the color of the night, although, I have to say the powder pink skirts that Lily Collins and Hailey Baldwin wore really caught my eye. I recently shot this H&M skirt en route to brunch and have been wearing it non-stop!
Jaden Smith brought his dreads as his plus one. Priyanka Chopra came as Holly Golightly – I told you guys the trench is back! Kendall Jenner wore her underwear. Selena and The Weeknd smooched – hopefully not in front of Bella Hadid. A-Rod proved he’s the best Instagram-husband a J.Lo could ask for. And Kim Kardashian wore zero bling. I have to admit, I kind of loved her minimal and modest approach. Post-Paris is looking good on her.
My favorite of the night was hands-down Lily-Rose Depp. That magenta Chanel number was perfection.
Obvs dying to hear your opinions as well, so tweet me!
Lingering Thought: How did Rihanna, Zendaya, etc. physically get to the Met? They traveled in a truck, right?
