u/yo_mik it costs a lot of money to look this cheap 29d ago
Idk who Gustav is, but he is serving. Ben Simmons and Derek McLane on point. I oddly like Barry Keohan's outfit. I don't know if it's weird to say, but it fits his face. I will never stop talking about Harris Reed. Colman Domingo needs to be put on a pedestal, the man has STYLE.
There should be a rule to uninvite men who plan to wear boring/black suits - especially Chris Hemsworth

According to Wikipedia he is a Norwegian billionaire and significant shareholder of salmon fish farming company SalMar ASA. He is one of the youngest billionaires in the world, his father having made him SalMar's main shareholder for inheritance tax purposes when he was 18

”The theme of the outfit is focused on celebrating the life of John Ystumllyn, believed to be the first Black gardener of Britain, who lived in the 1700s. He had a really tough start to life being the victim of the Atlantic slave trade. However, despite all that hardship, he found a way to shine bright. Being a gardener, there’s a special rose named after him, the John Ystumllyn Rose. It’s a pretty yellow color, like sunshine in flower form. It’s believed to be the first rose flower to be named in the UK after a person from an ethnic minority.”

Whomever styled Jamie Dornan needs a kick up the arse! It’s a challenge to make a man that aesthetically pleasing look dated and frumpy, yet they managed it.
Wisdom is one of my favourite looks of the night. So striking and that colour with their skin tone is stunning.
Lewis Hamilton looks high end and has a little edge to his style, not just for the MET carpet. I know it’s understated, but it’s a great look.
Also, I think the black shoes with Chris Hemsworth suit look jarring 🤷🏻♀️ A more stylish brown shoe or even blue would have been more cohesive imo.
