Met Gala 2022: The “Gilded Glamour” Dress Code Accidentally Worked Just as Intended
From Kim Kardashian as Marilyn to Blake Lively as the Statue of Liberty, the best looks captured this country's dizzying highs and lows.A fashion designer’s job is to predict the future, but of course they can’t control destiny. This year’sraised eyebrows when it was announced in early April, simply because we seem to be living in another gilded age, rife with income inequality, xenophobia and racism, and a barrage of images of unobstructed, ludicrous wealth.
This is one of the realities of fashion and one of the things that makes it most fascinating and occasionally downright chilling. I recall attending a Rick Owens show during Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony in 2018: suddenly, independent of whatever Owens had dreamed up, it turned into a declaration of the glinty steeliness of female power.
Still, a little humility helps. What to make, then, of Kim Kardashian in Marilyn Monroe cosplay? She was the finale arrival at Monday night’s gala, wearing the exact dress worn by Monroe when she cooed “Happy Birthday” to John F. Kennedy, Jr. Watching her inch up the stairs in careful, miserable calculation as I read in a parallel tab a leaked document that could strangle women’s freedoms, I felt queasy.
