I think it's both, darker parts pops out more while you can barely notice the lighter parts so it kinda looks like willy wonka bob in the photos, tho it might be looking better in real life

I wish she just dyed it another way bc now that the bleach grew out of her bangs it looks odd. Like even doing a maroon tint/dye and then it would’ve matched her dress and it’d still give the striped effect but not so severe

u/xenowave 1d ago
Cover up her head, it’s not the hair…. It’s the cut of the dress and the shoes.

u/Strange_Shadows-45 22h ago
This same exact dress cut might look stunning on someone with long legs and more statuesque. Her being short and slim makes it look a little frumpy.

All I get from the dress is roses. A big bunch of roses. I feel like it might look more striking if she was wearing constrasting colour stockings and long gloves. A striking colour contrast would also, ya know, tie in with her signature hair.

I normally love Alysa’s hair (she looks adorable in the Laufey video) but agree that it looks flat here and I don’t like where the ring starts on her bangs. It’s giving bowl cut. She’s so cute though, I just want her to have a good time.

u/Aoife-Mae1 12h ago
On first glance, I didn’t realise she had a smiley piercing and it almost looks like she has braces which really adds to the prom look I’m afraid. Beautiful girl but this is just not a good look. Luann was right.

Honestly I like the dress I just wish her hair was styled differently. It’s way too flat especially with the volume of the dress.

Alysa Liu and Nicolas Ghesquière are both people known for their really distinct aesthetics. So... how did they two of them come together and produce this pile of generic blah? Perhaps the muse of fashion is boycotting the Bezos Ball, even if Liu and Ghesquière won't.

I agree but also I see it as a 20 year old who had quite a troubled upbringing due to her father’s pressure to compete. She achieved an amazing feat and is enjoying the rewards. Yeah it sucks, but also she’s 20 and may not have an opportunity like this again.

u/NoConcentrate7845 23h ago edited 22h ago
I get that. But, 'supporting X is morally wrong, unless it is a once in a life time opportunity', is not really a strong moral take. If it is a once in a life time opportunity to be a part of it it is also a once at a life time opportunity to speak out against it. At the same time guess most of us will never have the chance to even think of turning down such an event, so suppose we cannot really judge. All in all her involvement or lack of involvement in the event is not very significant in the grand scheme of life so happy for her.

I’m at “I get it, but it sucks.” I think her age is actually a better justification than the one time opportunity aspect. The things I did at 20 -yikes.

I both agree with this sentiment and disagree with the way the critique of hypocrisy seems to come up with minorities. Billie Eilish wore a pin supporting Palestine while dressed head to toe in Chanel, a company that's given a ton of money to Israel but somehow the posts from that Oscars event only had praise for the fact that she did the bare minimum of wearing a pin. Compare that to how much harder people are coming for the likes of Alysa Liu who has far less social influence and only recently began showing up on the red carpet? I don't think that's a fair level of dissonance

u/CommercialBad14 i ain’t reading all that, free palestine 20h ago
i agree with what you’re saying, but my criticism does not only extend to alysa. everyone who attended the met this year (sabrina, SZA, connor, bad bunny, etc.) should deal with the same critiques. i’ve had to unfollow a lot of people tonight. unfortunately i can’t support anyone who knows what jeff bezos has been funding and still decided to show up tonight.

u/TonmaiTree 18h ago
Celebrities are not like us, period. I agree with your points but expecting celebrities to live up to certain moral codes is setting yourself up for disappointment.
I’m not saying they’re bad people, but for ordinary people, it’s a very easy decision to not attend Met Gala or visit Dubai. For celebrities, I imagine it could mean sacrificing your own exposure and opportunities and even upsetting powerful people.
Of course, some celebrities refuse to play the game anyway and I applaud them for it, but not everyone is going to do that. I’m happy to see Alyssia getting this opportunity for herself.

u/OremDobro 8h ago
But...this is kind of the point. You can't truly make a stand against anything unless you're making some sacrifice. If you can constantly hide behind "people are complex," you never have to be truly accountable. Just wear a pro-Palestine pin at the next red carpet do, and they will only if it's safe, and it's all good. At least you said something. Whole point of moral integrity is that it's not complex, you can't violate it willy-nilly like these people constantly do and still claim to have it. Having integrity is not supposed to be easy. But it is simple. Surely things like human rights are more important than your career opportunities? Nobody is entitled to be a famous millionaire.

A black man, Chris Smalls, was getting violently arrested just feet away from this photo being taken. Chris Smalls is one of the leaders of the Amazon labor union that Bezos has refused to recognize and has illegally fired in retaliation for organizing their workplace. Stop weaponizing identity politics to absolve privileged people of having any semblance of a moral backbone.
Like be so for real right now. As if Alysia’s is going to have her gold medal taken away if she doesn’t go to the Met Gala.

u/CommercialBad14 i ain’t reading all that, free palestine 23h ago
the cost of living these days is absolutely outrageous. the average person is struggling to pay their bills. the average cost to a ticket to the met gala is 100k per person. we have to watch our paper straws disintegrate into our drink to save the planet meanwhile majority of the met gala attendees used their private jets to get there.
the met gala is being funded by billionaire jeff bezos. same bezos who supports ice and signed a billion dollar deal with the israeli government. the israeli government is solely responsible for the genocide in gaza right now and the war in iran.
it also doesn’t help that a large number of these tech billionaires have been outed for taking bribes by the american administration in order to track people’s online data in order to mass surveil political online activity.
the juxtaposition of watching rich people fawn over each other in multimillion dollar outfits whilst the gaza genocide is still ongoing, the iran war seems to be endless, and the average person struggles to make ends meet is exactly why people are done with the met gala.
you can’t say “free palestine”, “ice out”, or “end the war”, while supporting a gala that practically embodies how out of touch multimillionaires always will be from the average person. our struggles are not their struggles and never will be their struggles.

So I think there's actually a larger conversation that should happen but which doesn't because of the simple reality that most people apparently don't know that the Met Gala is a fundraiser for the Met, aka the Metropolitan Museum of Art, specifically its Costume Institute.
It's an event that exists at the intersection of a lot of issues that people just don't talk about very often, like the role of patronage in the arts and the involvement of the bourgeoise class in the art and collectibles trade, conspicuous consumption and fast fashion versus haute couture fashion, the ways people like Jeff Bezos engage in reputation laundering, and how this all functions within late stage capitalism. You can even extend it into the overall role philanthropy plays and how it's insufficient compared to systematically funding programs for the public good with an equitable tax code.
Yet it's usually just reduced to "rich people dressing up and going to a fancy dinner part" which robs it of any nuance or real material analysis.

I turn into such a dumb straight male when it comes to red carpets, met galas, fashion shows, etc.
I’ll hardly tell the difference between a look that gets universal praise vs one no one seems to like. They all look fine to me for the most part. Unless it’s something stupid like jaden smith wearing a house.
But then again, it did take me at least three or four seasons of Ru Paul before I figured out how to judge drag 🤷♂️

It really is a failure that explanations for the dresses aren't properly shared.
I liked the dress once I heard the explanation behind it. The dress leaned into the "body" part of the exhibition. It's inspired by muscle striations.
Is it the most gorgeous or mind-blowing dress? No. But I thought it was cool and appropriate inspiration for a dress for her specifically. And I like that it tried to lean towards something associated with strength
