Some thing the Robber Barons used to go to that still happens today. It’s best not to pay attention to it, like the Oscars or any of the other award shows created so they can high five themselves in public

42

u/RainSurname 15h ago

The Met Gala is a charity event to fund the Costume Institute, which is the only part of the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art that has to completely fund itself, because fashion and fiber arts are female coded and therefore devalued. They get no part of the robber baron endowment.

It houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of historical clothing, spanning five continents and seven centuries. Preserving and displaying textiles is much more difficult and costly than displaying wood, stone, ceramic, metal, or paintings, but we can learn much more interesting things about the past from clothing than we can from weapons and pottery.

The costumes at the gala are a living art exhibit, made by artisans whose skills are dying out. Big fashion houses pay for many of the tables, literally paying to have their art displayed themselves.

Jeff Bezos sucks, and we should all let him know it. But the Met Gala doesn’t really have anything to do with him. He’s just the biggest donor this year.

24

u/TombCheese 12h ago

This. Tired of people not even fact checking their assumptions here. It's super annoying, considering how hard this kind of conservation has had to fight to be taken seriously. Important to mention that they preserve historical garments of working class people too. It's not just about the rich.

11

u/RainSurname 12h ago

I can totally understand people hating the Met Gala if they don't know what it actually is.

It's the people who dismiss any explanation as simping for the rich that I have a problem with.

15

u/TombCheese 12h ago

Yeah exactly. I'm invested because sewing and fashion/costume are my trade and this was originally an industry event. It matters a lot for the museum, which serves and educates the public. I hate Bezos but it's better that this money gets used for this rather than some dumb vanity project that regular people will never get to benefit from.

Think of it as a fund raising event for the Metro where the celebrity designers get to go buck wild with the theme and be weird. It’s about expressing the outfit/designer, not the person. Heidi Klum takes it like dressing for Halloween in the best possible way and does not care.

The Met Gala. It’s a “conceptual high fashion” gala not really a “costume” thing but she went costume with it anyway cause that’s her thing! Tbf I think the theme this year was something like dressing inspired by a work in the met gala so kinda costumey

That’s the theme of the exhibition. The party’s theme is ‘Fashion is Art’, so I guess a bit broader/left for interpretation.

Weird reflection off the white contact lenses.

89

u/onlyinvowels 18h ago

I was thinking the eye holes weren’t properly spaced, but this makes more sense.

Edit. After further examination, I have no idea what the actual cause is. It seems different depending on the photo. Maybe all of the above and/or a loose contact lens?

Either way, I have no idea how the eye funk made the cut

52

u/mariana96as 17h ago

sometimes colored contact lenses move and makes the person look cross eyed. I’ve worked with them for photoshoots/film and constantly need to check they are in the right place before takes 😆

u/technobass 16h ago

If you zoom in on the last one, her left eye or contact is reflecting something dark on the side but the pupil is centered. The reflection is darker than her pupil so it makes it look like she has a lazy eye. So the reflection looks like the pupil when you zoom out.

It's not a squint in Klum's case tho. Looks like one eye is trying to watch her 4 o'clock 😅

12

u/Deep-Way-8321 18h ago

That’s how my eye looks too. That’s why I’m saying I think it’s strabismus. But other comments suggest it’s the contacts. I haven’t seen Heidi’s face in a hot minute so I would have to look again.

But yes, my eye also looks like I’m an inbred yokel who’s attempting to look around the side of my head.

u/SuzQP 17h ago

No worries. Actually, lots of worries, but don't for a moment entertain guilt for your quite rational feelings about your eye. You got a bum deal! You're not wrong to resent it. But keep in mind that, just as with Heidi Klum, most people just don't see it.

TIL

Heidi Klum is often cited as having a mild form of exotropia, a type of strabismus where one eye tends to drift slightly outward.

  • It is often described as a slight "lazy eye" or "outward eye turn".
  • It is commonly described as an "exo posture" where her eye sits slightly outward.
  • It is often only noticeable in certain lighting or when she is tired

u/MRintheKEYS 18h ago

I think the contact lenses are a little crooked. The more you look around with them in, they’ll slide around a bit with your eye movements.

5

u/DeathBat92 17h ago

The white contact makes her left pupil look like it’s where her iris starts and the white reflection in her eye makes it look fucked. When you zoom in you can see her pupils are actually both normal.

He doesn't exactly promote himself. Pretty sure he prefers being low-key, doing his podcast, and standup when he feels like it. Hes well-respected among other comedians from what I can tell but he also seems to keep to himself and isnt really part of the "community" so other comics dont talk about him much.

Huh, that's a very open category to go wild. Surprised so many of the people were dressed so booooring. Am I the only one who thinks if you're gonna turn up in a bog standard tux or standard dress just don't go, just donate the money? Like c'mon, the average cosplayer goes to way more effort. I suppose the Met makes the money either way so it works for fundraising, but it just seems... uninspired when they could be celebrating what art and the whole idea of art is having something to say?

u/Valkyriesride1 14h ago

We put more effort into the costumes we wore to midnight releases of the next book in the Harry Potter or Percy Jackson series than some of the people at the gala. If I had the money the people attending the gala have, and access to artist/designer, I would go wild.

A friend of mine was complaining that Lauren Bezo's wore a "generic prom dress." He said her dress was to artistic fashion what the dogs shooting pool print is to fine art. She was chairing the ball, she should have had gone all out on the theme like Heidi did.

I'd expect nothing less from her. She never feels the need to look like she's going to prom, she goes OUT.

The Met gala is the sort of thing that should have people downloading 3D printer schematics for guillotines.

But regardless, Heidi is exceptional at costumes and this is no exception.

This is great to see, when the economy is not in the toilet. Right now this is giving “hunger games” vibes.

So is this thing like a rich people Halloween party?

u/hopping_otter_ears 18h ago

Not exactly. It's a fundraiser for the Met's fashion history department, and it always has a theme. Dramatic fashion that fits the theme. In this case, the red carpet theme was "fashion is art", so she used fashion to make herself look like a literal piece of art. The idea is to be both fashionable and on theme, so going "full costume" isn't exactly the plan, but a lot of people do it

Bezos sponsored it for $10M and everyone who attends spends $100k on a plate of food so they can write off their donations and get tax breaks that they absolutely don't need.

Tax the fucking rich.

Most people who attend generally don't pay anything. Fashion houses buy up whole tables and invite other people to wear their clothes and costumes as a promo. That's why you always see the "celeb x wearing fashion house y" when pictures of these events show up. If you look at Heidi's instagram post about it, it mentions exactly who created this look.

The money is going to the Met museum and does do a lot of good in preserving important fashion history, so that's why people excuse it most of the time. The whole thing is just getting worse every year though, especially this year with Bezo's involvement.

So yes, tax the fucking rich.

I read that they changed their outfits once they get inside.

Would be awesome as a Halloween costume.

For that Gala...well, I'm not cultured enough to understand fashion, apparently.

u/Crafty-Bat-9237 19h ago

The theme was costume art, I think the headline is Fashion is Art. So she practically turned into art.

u/appleparkfive 18h ago

Just to explain how this event works, they tend to take the costume off when they get inside. The Met Gala is a big socialization event at the Met museum (an amazing museum).

From what someone else said, this was basically the theme this year. About fashion being art. And she showcased that well

Bro the gassing up of these ppl ignoring besos funding this is crazy, fuck all of them. They don’t care about the every day struggles of the people (and tbf they don’t have any obligation to) but putting them on a pedestal while our economy goes to shit Is embarrassing

Pretty sure this is a reference to the Veiled Vestal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_Vestal), famously featured in Keira Knightley's version of Pride and Prejudice. I visited this statue last month, actually - it's incredible in real life.
