“Bitch, she is the theme. She is the Gilded Age.” Our editor-in-chief MelOttenberg called up our senior editor taylore_moon from London on his lunch break to scroll through the looks from the Gilded Glamour-themed 2022 MetGala.
MEL OTTENBERG: Okay so first of all, on a night of boogers, Kim killed. Never in all of my years of styling Rihanna would I have ever thought of something so audacious and sacrilegious and I’m totally here for it. That’s not a diss. It’s just like something I would have never thought to do because I respect the history too much. But you know what? It’s Kim’s world now. I just love that she nailed this because she really is the personification of The Gilded Age in a million ways..
SCARABELLI: I think it’s cool that she brought back something vintage because a lot of the looks from current designers just felt like marketing. There were so many logos and like, “trademark colors” on the red carpet. It seems like people aren’t really interested in celebrating fashion, they’re just there to sell their brand. I mean, it’s a huge event, millions of people are watching, and it’s an opportunity to get your stuff out there, I get it.
OTTENBERG: Nicki Minaj in Burberry was a major guest list stunt for me. Into. Okay next. Not cute. Not cute. Not cute. Not cute. Okay Erykah Badu and Francesco Risso look great together in Marni. And OTTENBERG: Agree. I think that [redacted] may have killed it. I can’t really tell from this picture. Oh my god, Irina Shayk as Peter Marino, not no. She’s so major. Next. Oh, my god [redacted]. Flop season.OTTENBERG: Yeah. Oh my god. I’m on all these bad ones. And I gotta go back to work. Here we go. Anitta looks major.
SCARABELLI: I mean it’s super on the nose but why not? People are mad when it’s on the nose and people are mad when it isn’t.OTTENBERG: I liked Kris in Oscar de la Renta, she’s giving me RIP Ron Galella vibes. The world of glamour dimmed yesterday. SCARABELLI: True, but I also think people are aware of that. This year’s Met Gala seemed to generate a lot of hate and criticism. We love the spectacle, but we’re also fed up with it. People are saying this was the worst Met Gala ever. And I’m like, “Is it? Or is it just not hitting in this era?”Well, it’s hitting because the whole world is talking about it. It’s doing a thing.
