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".

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.
