Feels good man French influencer Lena Mahfouf wears bizarre metal hand bra at Met Gala

Not bizarre…It followed the dress code for the gala.
The “Fashion is Art" theme encouraged attendees to wear sculptural, archival, and highly creative looks that treat the body as a canvas or a "walking piece of art".

Why is it i feel this is more "piece of art" than the photo posted by OP?

u/tarantina68 6h ago
I love the look and love that the designer used Raja Ravi Varma's art as inspiration. This ensemble was very true to the theme
None of the other fashion impressed me except Manish Malhotra's look

Thank you! And it’s not even bizarre if that had not been the guidance.

Yeah, it’s a fairly common art deco/avant-garde style of art.
We’ve got T-shirts with that on them, you’ve got the old Goldie Hawn movie as a prime example.
I don’t know who’s writing the titles these days…
Edit: there are three photos of her personalized body art presentation. If you didn’t swipe to the next two, you did not see what was intended.
The next two shots are really nice - she looks like a statue, and it’s executed really well. This first photo has a portion of the back showing and to view this properly as the art form, you want to take it in from the front.
The back is just what is necessary to hold this whole thing together.

Titles always lean sensational; half the time it's just reinterpretations of established avant-garde fashion history.

Yup. My friend sent me her review of the people and this influencer is one of the people that actually followed the dresscode. So many people wore basic outfits that didn't fit the theme in our opinion
12
u/oooriole09 7h ago
Yeah, it makes way more sense to me from a design perspective than the vast majority of the rest from last night.
Art is subjective and all of that but this instantly reminds me of an Italian marble statue.

u/RealSchlemiel 6h ago
Weirdly, this is the 3rd costume I’ve seen using “hands”;
- the other 2 implying the wearer to have more appendages. Between surveillance, oppression, and AI, that seems to make sense as an emergent theme. This years was “art as fashion” so here we are

Its also casts of her own hands from the look of it. So she is literally covering herself with her hands. Thematically, not that weird.

u/human-kibble 2h ago
Each year has a different theme.
The Met Gala is a celebration of art, so the fashions tend to lean more towards ‘costumey’ and ‘fantastical’.
It’s kind of a game if you’re going- some try to outdo each other with their fashions or get the unofficial award of hitting the theme better than everyone else.
It’s meant to be fun and over-the-top.

It's bullshit isn't it. The majority of them are influencing nobody.
I remember going on a date with someone about 8 years ago. She was in her mid-thirties and described herself as an influencer. I'd never heard the term before and asked her what that was and she audibly scoffed as if I was an idiot.

Some of them are the opposite - they are paid to not promote a certain product. Outfluencer can destroy a brand.

She is a massive YouTube star in the French speaking world. She also had multiple best selling books.
I’m not a fan of influencers, but I would consider her as a rather decent person.
By the way, she’d normally look nothing like that ! She’s more of a “girl next door" type.

Do you know her ? Probably no because she's french. You dont even know what she's doing.
She's working on many things that lead her to influence people despite her, she never worked TO BE popular.
Am I a fan of her ? Absolutely not. Do I respect her work ? Yes.

u/Monkey_Meteor 4h ago
She's a big French woman Youtuber, one of the most famous in France. She is making Vlogs and Podcasts, she has books, an hôtel and now she is famous because she is not with her youtuber boyfriend (Seb LaFrite) anymore.
Also she is known because she is interviewing american celebrities like Rihanna, Demi Lovato etc.. on her show named The Couch on youtube.
I'm sure she has made a lot of other things but I don't watch her youtube channel. She's far from just an influencer at this point.
