First Chooseday in May: Tuesday, May 6th, 2025

0:20I sound amazing. welcome back to the toast and happy tuesday or should i say the first tuesday in may very big day here at the toast studios hey jack's how you darn it is darn good we have our metgala extravaganza today last night was the first monday night in may yes and since you know joan rivers has passed and everybody's afraid of being mean jackie and i are here just to let everyone know take up the mantle we will do it we will say what needs to be said even though I actually don't have that many mean thoughts from last night. No, me neither. I actually have one overarching main thought. Okay.

1:01Sorry, no, that's mean. Everything else is super positive, but one of my rants that I need to go on is like a niche mean comment. But other than that, like I actually thought it was quite fabulous. Yeah, what I liked about the theme, and we'll get into it, is that some people executed it excellently and they looked amazing, and then the people who didn't just looked a little boring, but nobody looked bad, which was kind of nice. Nobody was uggo. Nobody looked like a clown. Actually. Who was clown like? Unfortunately, we're going to save our best and worst dressed, right? Yeah, I have my best, of course.

1:30But worse, I'm going to wait until we evaluate everyone. Oh, obviously, true to Trudy Fashion, I had my worst before I had my best. My worst is Ben Platt, even though he wasn't there. Because he's my worst every year. And wherever he was last night, I'm sure he was looking terrible. I love that. No, I agree. Like, everybody really got on board. I thought for sure it was going to be a confusing theme since it's menswear and like men are always doing the absolute least at the Met Gala. But I thought it was a fabulous theme. I love how everybody executed it. I have so many thoughts. I watched the Vogue live stream.

2:01We're going to go through all the looks. Every year people ask us on YouTube, why don't you put up the photos of the celebrities outfits? And it's like, girl, we don't want to get sued. So what we always do and what we're going to do this year, if you look at the description of the episode, wherever you're watching it, we're going to post the Vogue link that we are personally going through. We're going to go in order scrolling. We're not going to go through everybody. We're not going to go through everybody. there's some true nobody's there and the people we hate but we'll scroll through together and we'll go through all the outfits and i'm sure all the stories are like met gala related because everybody was just out and about last night yeah there was some news that emerged from the met gala you know most notably rihanna's pregnant right so you can enjoy a little pregnancy with rihanna she got in just at the 11th hour how far how far along do you think she was like based on her belly like five months uh I think less maybe like four months but it's like her third pregnancy so you like look bigger yeah yeah so let's say four she's like kind of always doing the most and I need her to stop like I've been thinking a lot during my pregnancy about the fact that she did the Super Bowl pregnant meanwhile like literally me getting up to go to the bathroom is the Super Bowl and yeah here she is again like doing the mech out like I kind of need her to stop no I know but it's really sweet it is and it's like it is really nice to see somebody like use all of her big moments to promote her motherhood you know yeah she's not promoting fenty she's promoting just like her family i also feel like there's a big conversation well always because people are always talking about women but also like just women in general and becoming moms and working and how do you be a successful woman and then i have children and like people push it off and I love that she's just doing it like bada bing bada boom another one no if I had a billion dollar company I would also be doing it like on at all times you know feel like no now it's not the time we've got to take Fenty to the next level like there's always more you can do so I think her being like everyone on pause I'm putting my family first I think it's a great example for women it is but like it's not relatable because I think so much of what people not everyone but a lot of women like wait financially right like it's a lot of pressure to like have a baby and it's really expensive and that's what Mindy Kaling said once and she was like I'm so lucky like I literally designed my life I made all this money and then I was able to have kids the way that I wanted like that's not how it normally works for people so like yes it's really inspiring but it's not applicable to everyone because I think a lot of people waiting for like if you can't afford a child yet but I'm talking about like women who are kind of crushing it in their careers who are like this is not like they have it's not about the money it's like they want to reach all these benchmarks before they have kids and it just never feels like the right time and it really never is the right time but at a certain point you have to like make the choice like I'm gonna put this on pause and so that Rihanna's doing it one after the other I think it's a great example yeah it's nice it's idyllic for sure yeah uh we also have deer toasters so it's kind of like a really busy day here at HQ yeah it is and I think we could get into Mechelle because that was my entire evening was watching this forlorn live stream where nobody showed up and everybody was late and the interviews were genuinely painful.

5:03And I just wanted to see Luke's. Yeah, and that's kind of one of my overarching points too. I don't feel like, I feel like for so many years, the Met Gala was like this really exclusive, strict, no phones, really like sort of hoity-toity highbrow affair. And last night I was like, okay, people can show up wearing whatever they want. They can show up whenever they want. They can, I saw videos inside. Like it's always been, you can't see inside the guest list. That's my one mean thought. I have a list of people who absolutely should not have been invited. Like it just felt like that sort of mean, exclusive, fashion-y allure is gone.

5:39Like it's too much. Everyone can come, come whatever, wear whatever the fuck you want. Like no bitch, there are rules. Where are the rules? Yeah, especially when you watch the live stream and the biggest names didn't make it in time to be on the live stream, even though it was three hours. if you just saw the people that walk the carpet before 9 p.m there the star power was not there so I was wondering why so many people like there was a bunch of star power in the very beginning which doesn't really happen on red carpets everybody shows up at the end but I guess it's like a logistics nightmare and people just got there just not to miss it but I kept thinking I'm like Zendaya's inside for three hours waiting for the party to start I'm sure there's party happening i'm sure there's food and drinks and music but not the official performances the exhibit like it doesn't really start i'm sure there's things to do you could take like a bunch of you could do the videos that they do i'm sure it's way less stressful to get there on time and be a little bored at the party than to be like kim in the bus with her security stepping on her dress in literally what looks like the worst mood ever being so late and missing the live stream and not getting to chat with lala her bestie at the top of the steps and i'm sorry i have some harsh words for Lala as well.

6:47I think maybe it's time to take a year off. You asking every single person the same exact question when you heard that this was the theme, what were you most excited about? And then every single person, unless it was a person who was really well-versed in Black Dandyism, every single person had the same answer. I was just really looking forward to seeing how everybody else was going to interpret it. Yeah. I guess like if you're just going to ask the one question, then really anybody could do that job. However, I actually didn't have an issue with Lala. I think she's great at her job. She is a professional host.

7:16She's friends with so many people who go there. They obviously feel comfortable with her. And it's a short, succinct, like, inoffensive conversation. That's how I've always felt about Lala. She's the perfect person to have at the top. She's professional. Everybody knows her. And I felt as though she sort of rested on her laurels this year. And she, like, I think they need to take the job away from her. Because now it's just like she's come to expect it. And she's not doing her best. But the odds that they give it to someone who's going to do a better job than her are incredibly slim. Okay. so then Tiana and Ego Nwodem downtown downstairs Tiana Taylor speaking into a microphone is not for you I think that you have more skills and I don't think you should do this again I thought Ego Nwodem was great and I felt like Tiana kept like talking over her and Ego knows everyone because most of these people have come in and done SNL so they could that was like the initial they always had something to talk about whether it be SNL and so I think she did a good job and Tiana Taylor like might have been my best dress but she was one of the worst interviewers and she could not figure out how to talk into the microphone and I just feel like that's kind of basic when you're an interviewer um so the Vogue live stream I didn't watch E I watched Vogue exclusively because it's literally the Vogue MacGal I don't know why I would be watching E when she's like on the carpet like with the worst access flowers yeah Vogue has the best access yeah and they have two stops yeah I just um I think they needed an overhaul in terms of their audio their video and their their hired talent I agree I didn't like the Tiana and Eggo interviews.

8:43She might have been my best dressed as well or one of them, but not my best host. Interviewer. Yeah. Those. So and also I thought that they made Lala look even better. Yes, they did. They were just they were having way more tech issues down there. Like I did not hear one thing. And every person who came by like wasn't told to talk into the microphone, although I assume it's just sort of like it's just kind of understood. Like we're giving you a microphone, talk into it. But they had this booth. It should have been completely like soundproofed. it was really poor quality but also like when lala was talking to someone and their mic was low she put her mic in like that's professional a professional she gave us yeah her mic so i just the conversations were more interesting yeah yeah but we're there for the fashion and judge we shall oh we shall i wish there were more like true uggo looks that i could read to bill because it wasn't an uggo night it wasn't an uggo night and i feel like everybody really tried to toe the line of being like respectful and pargy so i don't have that many mean thoughts but there is there are two people who were so hideously dressed i need to know who it was do you want to guess uh maybe i need to remember like i need to look at the picture so maybe as we're uh but it's definitely men because i just feel like you wouldn't be going so hard on women it is two women oh how exciting you think i wouldn't be going hard on a woman i don't know like you're calling them ugly like you're just going i didn't say ugly i said i didn't say they were you're calling them looks ugly i said i'll go i yeah i don't know i just feel like you would go harder with men and um i'm the men like i don't know men don't make an impact they do they think they do nothing like yeah but at least for this theme if this was actually actually i guess you could have shown up like in a handsome tux and been fine but really no one did that because there was so much for men to work with.

10:33Yeah, no, it was an easier night for men, which has never happened. Yeah. But without further ado to do, let's get into the Fast Five Stories and Met Gala recap that you need to know.

15:14Check the link in our description. Follow along with us. Follow along with us. As a reminder, this year, the event celebrated Superfine Tailoring Black Style, which is on view at the Met from May 10th to October 26th. The new showcase explores the importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora and will be arranged by 12 characteristics of Black dandyism. To reflect the theme this year, the dress code for the Met Gala was dubbed Tailored for You, a sartorial mood that is purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.

15:43The exhibition holds a strong focus on menswear and suiting. And so we saw many Met Gala looks leaning into tailoring. That was one of the words of the night. Tailor me. Yeah. If you wore any type of like suit tuxedo, like you were automatically in dress code marked safe. Like you can, you can be in theme and then we can decide from there. Some people like truly showed up saying, and they were admitting this in her interview, Anne Hathaway, like, uh, you know, I'm not in theme. I'm here to be inspired. So she was, she took a page out of Andre Leon Talley's book, who is like an example of black dandyism.

16:16Black dandyism. She just went like very direct, inspired by him. So didn't. But how? She literally didn't explain how her outfit was inspired by him. It was Carolina Herrera. The big, the big collared shirt. And I think she thought that Andre would love it. You will love it. That's what she said. She said, I just wore this outfit because I knew Andre would love it. I'm sorry. Like that's not in theme. I also have to call out Queen Miley Cyrus. Like seriously, try less to be in theme. Yeah. I'm sure like if you looked at the exhibit and the 12 examples of black dandyism like maybe there you could figure it out.

16:44But I do think some people like broke off a piece of the theme a piece for Serena Williams because every dandy needs a gown as well. Right right right. So like yeah sometimes you don't come at it like the whole thing. Some people were very obvious they wore a dress that had like a suit on top of it. Right or like a tie. Right but sometimes you go into a niche category and that works too. So I wasn't Anna Hathaway was someone to me who I didn't think she like she wasn't my best dress by any means. but I thought she looked really nice and really beautiful. She was able to tie back to the theme and like, that's great.

17:15Like I thought her outfit was like giving, um, dinner dance at your son's school. It was like more so boring than it was bad. And, and it wasn't on theme like her interview. Like that was good media training, but like, I heard what you said, like you weren't in theme. And I, I feel like she's resting on her new face a lot. Everyone's really excited. Everyone's talking about it. That she did something with her face. No one can identify what, which is the best kind of new face. and she looks really beautiful so I think all she had to do was just show up as herself agreed and people are loving her right now so she's just going with it yeah and I'm here like to be a hater and say like your outfit wasn't in theme and it wasn't that pretty you're not very pretty and you're not very bright not me saying I didn't have that many mean thoughts lol okay first up in the vote article is Rihanna who of course missed the live stream as she always does but walked the carpet took photos and showed us her new belly that she showed us earlier in the day.

18:06So my issue with the live stream actually doesn't include Rihanna. Like Rihanna is too cool to care. She misses every live stream. It's not like I think she missed it on purpose. Like I don't think she cared. So I would have loved to have seen her on the live stream. But that's Rihanna. Like she's too cool for school. I'm not talking about Rihanna when I'm talking about all the celebrities that we missed. She looks fabulous. Like I don't know what we expected. Is it my favorite MacGala look of hers ever? No. But I love the belly. The outfit is completely in theme she looks gorgeous like literally no notes yeah 10 out of 10 beautiful love the the belly love next up is one of our hosts coleman domingo and i'm so glad he outfit changed because when he showed up in this big blue robe i was like this is so silly this is just not on tally i know but like it's also just not beautiful do you know what i mean it's yeah i but it is not not beautiful what do you mean he like it's just like it's just not it's not it's just a robe like it's just i don't even know what i'm looking at i was like i was let down because he is like every award season like he's a chair he's a chair but he's also like one of the best dressed men in hollywood and that's why like he was chosen for a chair and that's why there was like a lot of hype and then he showed up in this with the bib and the robe and i was like oh and then he took off the robe and had like a really fab suit on underneath and all was well with Turney.

19:27Yeah. I just want to say I read Andre Leontali's memoir. Yes, you did. So if you're finding that I like, I'm just very braggadocious about my knowledge of Andre Leontali, it's because I read his memoir. And by the way, it's really good. I would highly recommend it. Okay. And I'm glad that I read it like just not just in time. I read it a few years ago, but considering this theme, I'm glad I read it. and you say that this is andre leontale inspired because why like he would wear a big blue cape like this he did wear like lots of like robes and capes and like oversized i don't know if i ever like what i don't think he would ever wear this um i think it's an interpretation you know he didn't take it out of andre's closet but it's interpretation and then coleman did change like how many times i feel like i kept seeing him in different outfits oh i only saw a second one but he was at a lot of the pre-met gala events because he's a host so you probably saw like a lot of paparazzi pictures of him in like official Met Gala garb.

20:23Yeah. So then he did take off the robe and he stunned with another look. Slayed. Like that was a perfect, a perfect look for the theme. Yeah. Next we have Lewis Hamilton, another co-chair of the gala straight from F1 to the Metropolitan Museum. Looking great. He's so cute. Handsome young fella. Yeah. It's, it's good. It's good. Yeah. I don't have that many thoughts on like men's there. Sorry. Me neither. Unless you did something so crazy, which I thought like, or Coleman Domingo's bib was like a little nutty. Oh, that's so crazy. I didn't find it to be nutty. Next we have Pharrell, who was also a co-chair, of course, big figure of the night because a lot of people wore, were dressed by him.

21:07They wore Louis Vuitton from his collections. He was just like very much inspired a lot of people for the evening. He dressed Sabrina. Yes. He did great work. He dressed a lot of really great people. The one who was wearing, was dressed by him or wearing Louis Vuitton seriously looked amazing. His outfit is on theme. It's well tailored. It's handsome. It's not crazy. It's very much, he is a designer. Designers aren't supposed to be like, hey, look at me. So I think it's really an appropriate outfit. Yeah. Next we have ASAP Rocky. This is the first time I'm seeing him because I did not see him on the carpet.

21:36I saw him on the carpet and I was just reminded he's such a handsome young man. Like his face, he's really very handsome. A lot of people were quick to notice. I think another like if you wore a suit like you were you know in theme if you had a cane you were also in oh yeah and so he had a um a cane that the handle looks like a gun it's like a bedazzled gun which is obviously very cool it is a really crazy thing to do because he was just like cleared of gun charges oh that is crazy it's also an umbrella oh and it was raining in New York City last night he looked very handsome he got there hours before his wife oh that's so funny I didn't even see him i actually would have expected he would have done a little more this like feels a little low-key for him yeah i think also like a cornerstone of black dandyism is color and like having fun with color and texture and i saw a lot just a lot of people wore black yeah um which is fine and it's good and in theme but i feel like he's someone who could have had a lot more fun with color yeah agreed next we have emma chamberlain who this is one of two looks uh she wound up changing into courage's look for her interviews and it was sourced from ebay there's a big ebay partnership last night and emma is at the helm of it um she looks cute this is not for me um she looks like the mom from lizzie mcguire she does well that's that's a statement on her hair not the dress the glasses too no the dress so like three different people wore an iteration of this dress suki waterhouse zuri hall and emma chamberlain like a halter tuxedo yeah suit dress Like a suit taped onto a dress.

23:10Yes, like with no back. And so I don't love it. And if I had to choose one of my favorites, it was Suki Waterhouse. This era, Emma Chamberlain's in, is just not my personal era. I feel like she's like a shoe-in. She always is going to be the first one. And I thought she was on the carpet first because she hosts the red carpet. But I didn't see her hosting. But then she went and spoke to Tiana and Ergo and she said that she was hosting. But I didn't see her hosting. Maybe like a TikTok? Maybe like a TikTok. talk i just i expect a lot from her i like i expect a lot from her and this is just mid this feels like emma to me okay it feels like current emma which is not my personal vibe okay next lala anthony i don't really have thoughts yeah no i i don't have thought like i don't love it um but she looks nice and beautiful yeah she's a great girl she's a great gal she is she is i love her.

24:03Tayana Taylor looked amazing. Best dress like and it was great that she showed up first because like I think if people were confused about the theme or didn't understand the theme like this is practical application of policy. And it has many of the elements of black dandyism. So we have cane. We have suit. We have cape. We have top hat. We have feather. We have pinstripe. Pinstripe is another thing like you were if you wore a pinstripe you were good. the feather the hat too i think she actually has like all 12 i don't know how many elements there are i feel like maybe 12 i think she has 12 she's definitely i mean flower she's a top top two like she really looks oh she's top two for you top three she also so much of black dandyism i feel is how you carry yourself and that's something i was feeling the whole night because when they were showing like images and references everyone was like they weren't trying so hard right like this was just like a natural uh expression of your style and they weren't like and so when all these like celebrities were on the red carpet like doing so fucking much like posing so hard and outfit changes i was like that's like the opposite of black dandyism black dandyism is very much like swagger right and just like it's how you carry yourself and that's why tayana really slayed because you just saw her walking like this outfit she was wearing the outfit the outfit wasn't wearing her yeah and maybe there were some people doing too much and i think also now thinking about it that way there are people not doing enough who maybe were like a little like meek and yes hunch over and not feeling confident right and so that's why tayana is such a a well-done look because obviously the outfits completely on theme and party from the inside out but she's carrying it too like it's also an attitude i feel i agree i agree next to ego and wadam i thought she looked great oh like i have no i have no issues with this i don't love it but it's like yeah no issue cute it's not offensive oh we need to move on to zendaya next zendaya so she showed everyone up put everyone to shame she literally was like seven feet tall i don't know if she's that tall and she was wearing stilts but even when she was standing in the line waiting to take pictures like head and shoulders above everyone else literally and metaphorically yeah yep i she was the one who really made me realize like how silly everybody else looked because I saw her Diana Ross was right in front of her so I saw her waiting for Diana Ross to finish the carpet so she's just standing there she doesn't have a purse she doesn't have like a million uh you know accessories like a cane she's just like so chill her hands are by her side and she's just really carrying herself so sophisticated I'm like oh my god all these other people look so silly like she's like she's not even trying without someone carrying her dress behind her and giving her hands on each side like she's just comfortable she's moving well and she looks incredible there was also um an actress from shogun i forget her name who wore something extremely similar and everybody's like i can't believe law roach would put zendaya in something i just want to be clear these were two completely different outfits yes they were both white suits and white hats and they were like aesthetically pretty much the same but it was literally that scene in devil wears prada like first of all zendaya's outfit is tailored which is i think also like a huge uh point in her column for the theme like the pants are tailored so perfectly it's the crazy like I've never seen a suit so well tailored it's also giving Meredith Blake yeah no I thought it was fantastic like fantastic top of the heap agreed next we have Hailey Bieber who I think really shocked everyone in the simplicity of the outfit looks like something you wear to dinner with the girls she wore a blazer a black blazer dress uh tights and heels and just beautiful glam like didn't do the most so I was surprised by that but she looks great but it's like not show stopping yeah i mean it's technically a blazer so she's she's in theme right uh i'm just not in a place in my life where i'm gonna say negative things about hailey bieber i just feel like she gets enough of that um so it was not my favorite look of hers it was not super inspiring or different or risky but maybe she just doesn't want to be talked about like it's like enough so she just wanted to wear a safe outfit that's what i that's if i'm reading too deep into this that's what i'm reading perhaps it just feels like if you or I or anyone were invited to the Mechal this was the theming you had to pick something from your closet like this is what you would wear you'd be in theme but you're not going to be like the most exciting like remember when she wore that thong gown like of course that's the best look ever the best look ever so yep I don't know um I don't know I feel like it's actually reflective of like the place she's in in her life she does not want to be spoken about yeah like she had she had to go to the Mechala for work okay um she arrived with Kendall Jenner at the 11th hour at the 11th hour I think Kendall was waiting for her sisters they were taking too long and she was like and Haley was ready because it took her two seconds and they were like okay let's just go and make the carpet and we'll go together and like for Kendall they all work in fashion but Kendall really is like the most fashion-y of the sisters like this is her actual job so I don't think she could like afford to be rude and not show up or miss the carpet um she looks amazing in everything she wears and I don't want to be negative because like this is are it's like a gray suit like it's ugly um but I'm gonna be positive and say this I like that she did something different it's just a shame because you know how I feel about Kendall Jenner at the Met Gala she could actually wear anything any one who's on the worst dress like if you put it on Kendall it would be the best dress like she just has the the face the body and the persona of the Met Gala there are plenty of models who walk around I'm not like put that on Kendall is the one yes everything she and she saves the carpet every year she everything she wears like I just see it differently on her I'm sorry and I'm biased towards her but I feel like the rest of the year I'm pretty critical of her so I'm totally fine like just like propping her up here so again like she looks beautiful and she is beautiful but I agree like it's not something that I'm getting really excited about the color is so gray it's very matronly it's maiden it's like old maiden type of shoes and then her after party look is very much in theme she's going for like a more matronly vibe which i like like it's cool to see people switch up the whole aesthetic and so her after party outfit matches and it was much better it was like this big wide brim hat and like this very audrey hepburn and it was very pretty and i actually like this category for her but this particular look is not my favorite yeah just a bummer yeah bummer bummer especially like we waited all night to see a kardashian we see her and it's bummed out and anybody else finding like the carlisle and the mark hotel pictures like to be annoying yeah i actually was trying to avoid them because i find i like the look better when i see it as it's intended to be seen in movement on the carpet not a photo before like not something blurry i saw kim's because she posted tiktok with north and like it definitely like took away from it ruins it yeah and like i thought i saw people like being really critical of doji because she left the hotel in like an actual tent but you know what I saw her for the first time on the carpet and it's just a better experience I agree it is and I think like some people should start saying at the Holiday Inn there'll be no traffic I think the Met should have like a floor upstairs where people could get ready and that way they can be on time and we don't get spoilers and they cause less traffic and wreak less havoc in the city right because it literally did take people an hour and 20 minutes to get from the mark to 10 blocks to the steps of mechala because there was video of hailey leaving at 720 and her and kendall did not walk until 8 40 it's 10 yeah it's 10 blocks and it's it was chaos in the city last night and it was raining crazy uh next up who do you want to go ayo at a beerie okay um it's pretty it doesn't do anything for me agreed I don't know you oh Anna Wintour like constantly giving us yeah constantly giving us nothing though like love that for her yeah but never like being an embarrassment and she is wearing Louis Vuitton I believe and I love this color so I'm gonna love it now next up I would like to talk about La Roche specifically La Roche going blonde yeah that was a shock it was shocking he looks so different I think his hair is very much like he usually has braids and they're like so I just associate him with them so much.

32:07I was so, like I did a double take. I kind of like it. It's giving Ken. Yeah. I wasn't sure who it was at first. Same. Next, Tyler. Always a sleigh. I love this. I actually haven't seen this yet. I saw her leaving the mark, but I haven't seen it on the carpet. This is perfection. Agreed. The pinstripes. Super on theme. The oversized coat. I think she's carrying a little bifocal. She sleighs. Slay. um Dapper Dan I think was somebody who like is actually one of the inspirations for the actual theme so everybody was really looking forward and this is classic Dapper Dan yeah yeah the night was made for him Kylie Kylie so here's the thing whatever Kylie wears even if it was seriously like a garbage bag I'd say like oh my god garbage bags are in now I have to get one not that this is a garbage bag but it's not her most exciting Met look but the more I look at it like I'm process it the more I like it I saw a lot of pictures that she posted she looks so comfortable and like just sexy and like she did look comfortable skin like she's just like so confident that anything she wears I will love because she makes me love it so I wound up loving this but I will say if someone else wore it I might not say the same if I'm looking at the dress the dress is ugly like sorry I love her she's a queen yes she's comfortable whatever it's an ugly dress but all together the package i mean the face card is unbeatable like her glam is insane the hair the pose the dress is is a no for me i feel like it was really a flop night for the kardashians i hated kim's outfit like i'm so like kim needs to do something different we get it you've got a thin waist and a big ass like every dress is like how can i show off my little waist and my big ass like Like, and my tits.

33:53Like, I'm so over it. Surprise us. Do something different. Well, that's when she did that Balenciaga, like, covered face. Remember? Okay, but that's you doing something different, covering your whole fucking face. Like, I just, I'm so over. Like, she's the most fashionable woman in the world, right? Like, she's the most influential. And it's just, it's so repetitive. Yeah. Also, I feel like she intentionally, she makes every dress, like, unmovable. Like, there's no reason why she shouldn't be able to walk in this dress. Like, it's a dress. It's an off-the-shoulder dress. Like they tailor it to like where she can't breathe, I guess to like make her look smaller.

34:26Yeah. Like there's no reason why she can't walk down the street without being like. And that's why she doesn't embody like the black dandy ism, the coolness, the confidence. Cause she can't even move. Yeah. And it's like this every single time. And like, she can't even like do a different pose. Like she's stuck. Yeah. Yeah. Also, where was Chris? Where was Chris? She would have crushed this thing. Courtney and Chloe are always like, you know, 50, 50 TBD. Well, they won't they. but Chris is like just as guaranteed to show up as Kim yeah and maybe that's why they're all they were all late because like Chris wasn't there to wrangle to get a move on it yeah totally she would never have allowed this to happen yeah I agree this was like too little too late Charlie XCX like so like I'm not like meh does nothing for me I mean aside from the woman herself which you guys know how I feel um yeah like an outfit like this does nothing for me like why bother yeah and I'm not gonna say like it's bad because it's like it's not ugly yeah but it's just like it's not exciting to me Chapel Roan um it's also not working for me like yes she's in theme it's a suit yada yada it's like lots of different textures and colors like it's very much on theme um I guess I didn't see anyone else wearing something like this though she looks like David I think patchwork Yeah, yeah.

35:44Patchwork is very much like a symbol of dandyism. Even if Kendall Jenner wore this, I wouldn't like it. It looks like when you order a Party City disco, like you would say a 70s look and they just give you like a suit with like a bunch of colors on it. Yeah, yeah. Not a favorite of mine. Usher kind of did what men aren't supposed to do. And he just wore like a suit you would wear to someone's wedding. He also was the performer, which I thought was a great choice. Yeah, but he also wore a couple accessories that put him in theme. I kind of love this for a man. I don't. It's so generic. I think it's handsome and that will always win.

36:22You really don't have to be much more than that. Handsomeness wins. Handsomeness wins. Yeah. Brina. Brainer when Sabrina showed up. Oh my God, I was scooped and gagged. I was so excited to see her because I love her, obviously. But like historically, she's not the best dress at the Met Gala. So when she showed up in this with that hair and those legs and those shoes and the glam like she had her people doing her makeup oh my gosh nature healed this is a pharrell look he knew what he was doing he like a bunch of the the people he dressed were not wearing pants and i loved it i think sabrina's the perfect person to not put in pants he she said like because i'm short pharrell was like well then you can't wear pants because you're short and and it's really tailored like to her body perfectly she looks amazing i love no she literally looks so amazing and also what's so great about this outfit it's like it looks like one of her outfits from yes show but just like applied to this theme so she looks like herself but so in theme and so elegant and like honestly she's one of my best dressed her glam was on point and you could tell she knew she crushed it I would have loved to have seen her hair up okay that's that's all i don't feel that way but i respect it okay i'm gonna slide down a little bit to demi more okay who was one of the most creative of the night like she's just she's having such a good year she can't miss yeah and i thought this was such a unique way of doing the theme i didn't see anybody else doing this it could have been stupid but it wasn't wait what did she do it's a tie oh it's like a windsor knot oh cool i miss isn't that cool yeah that's very like katie perry as a hamburger yeah but it's not stupid yeah no it's not as stupid as that but it's like very moschino who wore moschino last night i didn't see jeremy scott yeah me neither um next up doji who was another uh louis vuitton swirly we also we skipped over monica Barbaro who is the girl on purpose yeah Dylan movie and she's friends with Kylie so um so I'm a fan so she gets spoken about I loved her outfit but no she's spoken about because I loved her outfit I thought um it was a perfect execution agreed she looks fabulous perfect dochi unbelievable love so much one of my favorites this is with Tiana Taylor as perfect executions head to toe perfection when I saw her I think the first time I saw her was in her interview and I like just loved her from the waist up and then they showed the shorts and the shoes and the socks and i just love it so much there was i think a lot of pressure on her to like be best dressed because she's so in the moment right now and she's so of the culture and her partnering up with pharrell like perfection and like i don't have one single note no me neither i loved it cardi b was someone who also missed the um oh i didn't even know she went i haven't seen this yet right she missed the carpet.

39:17I also I did wonder if people knew what color the carpet was going to be. It was blue this year. It was also like a pattern. So I think some people's outfits just looked better or worse on the backdrop of the carpet with like the flowers and everything. So she's getting lost in the flowers for me. Yeah. I would need to see more pictures. I don't immediately love it. No, it's on theme, but it's in my opinion, not beautiful. I agree. Kiki Palmer. Oh, she's so great yeah this is like a perfect um execution she was wearing pants and a dress and it all really works together and she could do no wrong I think it was a huge miss to not have her in some capacity doing interviews yeah the interview she gave was so great yeah and she's just like perfect at it oh if you scroll down Anna Sawai that is who wore like a similar thing to Zendaya okay I'm on my way and I just want to say it's not similar no it's not but it's good but i love zendaya's more i love zendaya's more too yeah um okay now if we could scroll to photo 46 i really need to talk about heidi klum okay so heidi klum is on my list for worst dressed she's also on my list of people i was shocked to see in attendance and this is kind of what i was saying and i have nothing against heidi klum she's had an amazing career and i actually met her she's lovely but when i think of the met gala i think of people who are a having like a moment right now the Met Gala is always a moment in time like you'll hear like oh my god Rebecca Black went to the Met Gala like it doesn't make sense but at the time it's supposed to be no you know what I mean like Jessica Simpson it's supposed to be like reflective of what's going on that year so either you have people who are like super like maybe you never even hear from them again but like that was their year James Charles like we were just Lil Nas X went to the Met Gala two years in a row and now it's like you you wouldn't be invited so it's supposed to reflect like the the culture of the moment like the zeitgeist but it's also for people who are you know eternally influential in art and in fashion models it's very upper echelon models and i was just shocked to see heidi klum there and so the fact that she got an invitation i think you know was something she was probably grateful for to show up in this dress is actually disrespectful it is she is she's not my worst dress because someone else is but she's my second worst dress It is so ugly.

41:41It is so boring. It is not in theme. It is not well tailored. The glam does nothing. The jewelry does nothing. Like sometimes like someone shows up at an event and like, like the Mac outline, like they shouldn't have been there, but you know what? They slayed. So you know what? We'll allow it. Yeah. She did not slay. I will not allow it. That they shouldn't have been there because they just fit in perfectly. Yeah. Right. No, she was not blending whatsoever. This is horrible. Yeah. I agree. Horrible. It's giving seriously like prom. Not even. Not even. It's not nice enough for prom. No, it's not.

42:16I don't get it. I don't get it either. Doja Cat? Doja's. Cute. I loved this. Yeah. Totally on theme. Like quirky and different. Like it's not like aesthetically classically beautiful. It's like a little out there. But I love it. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. Oh. oh sofia richie i thought she looked beautiful i didn't know she was going i didn't see her on the stream did she showed up late no she was perfectly on time she was on the stream she was on the stream i mean i guess i did miss a little bit of the stream i had to skip some stuff i don't know where she's going i love i love the look i don't know where she's going it's not in theme she toggles between being a celebrity invited to the mechella and being like a rich lady just invited to the mechella to support i'm sure she like purchases art yeah yeah so like on all those people who go who are like actually the foundation members like they just wear a beautiful dress maybe it has a bow on it to celebrate a bow tie they just wear like a black tie a nod to the theme but they're just wearing like a black tie gown that they might have gotten off the rack so she's a little bit in both worlds and i think jackie she's a full-blown celebrity like please she has to be in theme no but she's just like showing up as a rich lady now and i think i first of all you're not going to catch me saying a bad word about her but i actually have seen her wear some dresses is where I'm like, uh, it doesn't excite me and I don't love it.

43:34I actually love this. And I think the bow ties are a nod to the dandyism. I think she looks beautiful. I think she's also like a very famous bride. So wearing a bridal look. That's what I was thinking. Wearing a bridal look like is Congress for her. Smart. And we haven't seen this much of her since she has become a mom. And I think all in all, like seriously, no notes. And I know that other people might say it's boring. It's not in theme. No notes for me. No, I don't think it's boring. It's not in theme. but it's absolutely gorgeous and i agree it's very bridal it's tailored and it's bow tied two themes two out of 12 it's a stretch two out of wait and there's two bows three yeah one on one on the bum one on the back nicole scherzinger is like the perfect example of how to do this theme well i thought this was kim when i was watching her on the stream i was like it looks like Kim is it Kim I wish um and if Kim had worn this that would have been a lot more exciting and she does look great and Nicole Scherzinger is the perfect example of like maybe in years past you would have been like Nicole Scherzinger's at the Met Gala but like this year she's on Broadway she's the toast of the town she just was nominated for a Tony like she's the perfect person to have been invited but like otherwise like I felt like the guest list was not and first of all where the fuck were the influencers not one except and i don't know where he is on this list kabi lame i thought he looked amazing who was on my list i haven't decided yet was on my list for best dressed uh for the men overall oh wow no i thought he looked so great i didn't realize it was kabi lame who i read about um last week he's technically a tiktoker i'm so glad that i did he looked so handsome but besides him like there was not one person representing the internet emma chamberlain no longer counts i think james charles ruined it for everyone no i'm sorry ever since james charles was many years ago and that was because youtube was a huge sponsor so it wasn't just james charles nikki tutorials was there jackie aina was there like it was a big night for the influencers but ever since then like there are a few hand-picked addison charlie and dixie there are a few people who get like hand-picked from the gutters of the internet and i like it i like that they do that not a ton but like so were you looking for new faces or like the usual influencers who go i was looking for who's reflective of 2025 i was looking for alex earl so new faces because also like yeah where were addison and churls but where were the new influencers who would be going i do think nara and lucky blue should have gone should have been there because he's also a model he's a fashion girly and he she is like a she does a bunch of work with tori birch i'm surprised tori merchant dresser like she just did a fendi campaign i'm shocked yeah lana del rey i think she looks lovely sweet and pargy i've been enjoying her recently yeah no she's she looks good yeah i like that you did good oh sydney sweeney so sydney sweeney to me is a perfect example of someone who like didn't like you know break mind blowing but like looks really beautiful there's a nod to the theme and she's just like having a nice night and go on what is the nod to the theme um she mentioned it in her in her interview I can't remember maybe sparkles like maybe sparkles are one of the temples I flower brooch on the chest I think that Sydney Sweeney's red carpet looks like the bar is so low for her because she consistently lets us down like she she does not have good red carpet style so when I saw this I'm like oh she looks really pretty but then the more I analyze it I'm like like this is not a good look it's not really in theme at all it's very mature like this is the type of dress an older woman wears to sort of cover her arms like it's it's matronly and it's not good but for Cindy Sweeney it is it's like so neutral and like totally fine that's how I felt I don't like it I felt like she's like the perfect example of like the the theme done wrong this year which is actually not bad at all correct next Next.

47:45Oh, Miranda Kerr. I'm scrolling a little bit. I hadn't seen her. I like Miranda Kerr's outfit. You can see that? Yeah, I follow her on TikTok, so I had seen it. I like that a lot. It's like a deconstructed tuxedo. I'm scrolling just a bit because. There's a lot of. Oh, Taraji B. Henson. This is actually the first time I'm seeing her. I actually just saw her recently for the first time too. Yeah. I feel like it's like a little much. Like a little much of everything. She's got the hat. She's got the cane. She's got the suit. She's got the bow. It's just like, I kind of need her to take one thing off.

48:11yeah it's like a little too i know it's a costume gala but like it's a little too costume party city like not fashion-y as much like it's what do you think continue sorry continue no i'm not yes no no agreed it's it's costuming but even though it's a costume gala like yeah you still can't look at taylor was like like is doing all the same things here but it didn't look like costuming i wouldn't have said that the outfit is wearing Taraji P. Henson yeah but even if someone else had worn it like it's a little there's just too much of it I don't know what the difference is but there's a difference what did you think about Priyanka and Nick Jonas I was happy to see them because like me too I felt like they were exciting and we didn't get that many exciting couples this year like yeah some of the people who always come with their spouse even like Haley Bieber like there was no Justin Bieber we didn't get a lot of couples we didn't get new couples we obviously didn't get Alex and Braxton we didn't get Taylor didn't Travis we didn't get Kylie and Timothy so like to see these two who like come from different worlds and are in a relationship like was actually very exciting they just didn't look like a couple like their outfits weren't cohesive they didn't like even the shades of white yeah so mismatched and you know what like if I block him out and just look at her I actually looks amazing her outfit agree she looks amazing out I like his outfit yeah they just don't look like they go together yeah she does look really amazing and i was glad to see a couple i like we didn't get a lot of couples we usually get more no you're right you're right we didn't get a lot of couples and like where were brooklyn and nicola like seriously i'm so mad at them for whatever they're doing with their lives right now right where were brooklyn and nicola i don't know but like i was noticing on the carpet they're amazing they always look amazing together yeah you're right um can you scroll down to photo 88 i think we need to talk about janelle mona who like i think every year at the Met Gala um crushes someone we need to wait and see and given the theme and that's like I feel like her genuine style and aesthetic already yeah she crushed yeah she's a shoe-in for this theme and then also this jacket this two-dimensional jacket was like removable and then she had another outfit on under that was also perfect like nailed it perfect perfect but the bar is actually really high for as much as you think like oh she could do this in her sleep like that person you have a higher expectations for agreed uh 94 quinta brunson
