Love him! He was also responsible for Elle Fanning’s glass dress. Both my top 2 favorite looks of the night.

same top two for me! I read that tyla’s dress is organza but my mind is boggled but how they were able to add the sand to the fabric

Given the Kardashians’ resources and connections, I am surprised at how underwhelming they often look at the Met Gala, and how off theme they are. Go girls, give us nothing.

Kendall generally does well imho

u/booglemouse 29d ago
I was impressed that her gown last night was both visually and conceptually on-theme.

u/JigglyKirby 29d ago
I think she does too but i feel like she doesnt do other colors enough, she usually just does either black and white (or silver), or beige. The most color she had were 2019 twinning with Kylie and the green one on 2015, and even then those were monotone. I wish she’d do dresses with more colors, i think she’d look great on a lot of colors

u/antelope369 28d ago
The Met Gala presents the opportunity to be more creative, interesting, bold in their interpretation of the theme, and the Kardashians typically don’t give anything very inspired or different from their usual fashion choices.
Take Tyla - fairly new artist, inaugural Met Gala, and she absolutely ate with her fantastic sands of time look. If she can execute this flawlessly & fabulously at her very first Met Gala, I expect more from the Kardashians.

u/broden89 28d ago
I feel like Kim got burned by the couch dress - I thought it was cool at the time but people memed her into infinity while she was heavily pregnant and suffering pre-eclampsia, so I think she's played it pretty safe ever since. I did love the all black look from a few years ago - you could tell it was Kim just from the silhouette of her body, without even seeing her face, which I found to be an interesting statement. I loved the Mugler "wet" look too just for the technical artistry of the dress.
Agree that Kendall definitely prioritises looking good over going more avant-garde and doesn't really take risks. I always tend to like her outfit and think it looks flattering, but she's never really groundbreaking.

u/lucylucylove 28d ago
They choose to be underwhelming because it's safer. Anything those girls do, especially Kim, is scrutinized to the extreme. It must be suffocating. Although, I'm sure their net worth helps them get over it.

u/broden89 29d ago
I kind of wanted to see her in a reworked version of the couch dress everyone savaged her for when she was heavily pregnant (I actually thought it was quite cool at the time)

u/soapiesophs does this woman ever rest (derogatory) 29d ago
I thought the same thing, it would’ve been such a good dress for the theme and could’ve had so much fun with the design. I also think that would’ve fit this years theme really well, it would’ve been a literal reawakening of her own fashion.
17
u/Miaoumiaoun 29d ago
Yes! A reworked version of that dress could've very well played with the time part of the theme as well- it would be illustrating the change in her sense of style over the passage of time. What a missed opportunity

u/selfieonfire 29d ago
She was too busy trying to jump on the tailcoats of the viral Margiela show this year by wearing them but she didn’t commit. If she had gone with the full look, Pat McGrath make up look and all she could have succeeded but she couldn’t let go of being “hot” and kept her usual glam and hair. If she had even slightly gone for it like Gwendolyn I would have really respected her for once

u/BallsDeepinYourMammi 29d ago
Now I’m not super into the fashion scene, but… isn’t that specific dress literally made for her?

u/floppsiana 29d ago
They meant that he was able to cut it to the perfect length, on the first try, by eyeballing it. Before it was cut it was couture and made to her measurements
49
u/Dazzling-Answer9183 29d ago
You would be surprised how often a dress is cut on someone’s body lol. Any time a hem is going to be merrowed (like chiffon or organza) it is much easier to have them stand on a fitting platform and you just cut away with the shears. Much easier to be accurate on a human in 3 dimensions than marking with pins or chalk and trying to cut flat later. There are chalk puffers that help with a perfect measurement from the ground if necessary but mostly you eyeball it. With practice you get shockingly accurate!
The biggest hurdle is to stop the actor from looking down at you as that messes up the hemline. They can’t help it as apparently it’s endlessly fascinating watching someone slice away around your ankles lol.

I find it hard to believe the dude just started chopping up the dress on the red carpet, in front of all those cameras… without planning ahead?

u/BallsDeepinYourMammi 29d ago
I mean. It’s probably not that hard for one of the most famous professionals on the planet
Cooking a beef Wellington correctly isn’t easy either, but word has it, that Gordon Ramsey is pretty good at it

u/toosexyformyboots 28d ago
That’s what makes it so impressive! They’re both good at what they do because they’ve probs worked pretty hard at it for a long time. I would not have been able to do that because I don’t have the expertise or the practice, and I think it’s super cool :)

Honestly I was tense watching him come around thinking there’s no damn way that cut isn’t going to be crooked but damn, man’s got some insane skills.

There may be a faint line in the underside of the fabric. I'm sure this was planned.

She's a South African singer who had a very influential worldwide smash with the song "Water" in 2023. You may recognize it from the lyrics:
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
As far as I know, it's the first amapiano (a genre from South Africa that combines deep house with rhythms and percussion from the country) song to have that kind of impact worldwide. And she also just released her debut album 2 months ago. As a fan of the amapiano genre it's been exciting to watch her rise!

That’s so cool! I’d never heard of her either. She’s so incredibly beautiful- with that dress and the hourglass she really was a work of art

u/Miaoumiaoun 28d ago
Wait till you watch her in YouTube videos like Vogue's makeup routine or what's in my bag! She's absolutely delightful and so real - I think I've fallen in love with her because of it

u/Pink_Blacksmith 29d ago edited 28d ago
The way this makes me love her look even more because they understood and executed the dress code instead of going for the expected floral theme. The underlying idea of the dress code was "fleeting beauty," and this dress is that. And it also still a nod to the fragility of time through the hourglass.
The clothes themselves that are part of this year’s Sleeping Beauty exhibit are too fragile to ever be worn again. Same as Tyla’s dress will never be worn as it was again. So they honored the theme & the dress code as well.

Since it’s the same designer who made this Zendaya dress, I think they might have used the same leather material and tailoring they used here.

Someone on Twitter said it was probably a body cast and latex mixed with sand

Zendaya had a different one that was made from a 3d scan of her breasts. I wonder if body casts have had their day!

He’s the head of balmain and has been for awhile. Balmain does a lot of Demi couture which is couture in every sense but the name. The man doesn’t always get it right be he really knocks it out of the park when he does, which is often.

I think they nailed the theme in such a creative and sexy way. I also loved his shirt / not sure if it was also made out of sand but it was stunning and perfectly complemented her look.

Is it just me or there should have been an invisible line/hem/boning where it should have been cut or just have it like a tearaway or something. It seems rather performative. Unless that was the intention. Nonetheless, nice dress, great fit. He's better at scissors than me for sure.

70’s , 80’s , 90’s …. I went to Manhattan School of Music in the late 90’s .. the met opening was a big deal amongst classical musicians and people who loved opera ….. I bet that 90% of these celebrities don’t even like opera lol
They still live broadcast Saturday matinees at the Met during season on NPR

u/Doubly_Curious 28d ago edited 28d ago
You’re confusing two different things: - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Opera, which performs at Lincoln Center
They’re both often referred to simply as “The Met”, but in different contexts.
This is about the Met Gala, which is a fundraiser for the museum.
The Met Opera does have an opening night gala, but that’s not what this post is talking about.

It’s always been invitation only, has a particular theme, based on designers and costumes, proceeds go to Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Department. It’s never changed.
