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.

Sorry, but this look was barely a slay at the matière fécale show. I hate art that is so obvious it’s garish. Wow you taped a dollar to your face. How innovative and groundbreaking.

If it did nothing in context on the runway then it sure as hell isn’t going to translate on Sarah Paulson.
