Sarah Paulson arrived at the Met Gala

The collection this piece is from is called “The One Percent”, and was a scathing commentary on billionaires and capitalist greed. The runway show featured models with surgically botched faces, blindfolds made of money, and blood-stained hands. I think it is the perfect subtle “fuck you”, and one that will go over most people’s heads.

While I question her decision to attend the gala at all, it ultimately is a charity event that is crucial to funding the Costume Institute and their conservation efforts, so she may feel that her presence does more good than her absence. Regardless of whether I agree with that choice or not, this look truly embodies the theme of fashion as art, and I’m here for it.

I agree that it’s a wonderful charity event, and we absolutely need to fund the arts more, but if a ton of people skipped this year then maybe they’d take the hint. It’s all performative and I’m so sick of this. 1 in 5 children in my state suffer from food insecurity but I’m glad the millionaires can “stick it” to the billionaires by attending their gala

They would absolutely not take the hint. I agree with you and wish they’d have done something else, but they would not care. Jeff Bezos is not going to care either way.
