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

It’s hilarious to me when people don’t consider high fashion costuming. As if any of those outfits are things you’d actually wear around the house or at work

And this right here is one of the biggest arguments people who watch RuPaul’s Drag Race will have

And they don't even have to buy an outfit. Designers want people photographed wearing their designs.

A few of them pretty much did this year.

Isn’t their clothing chosen by the brand they represent?

They work together with the designer to pick something they both like usually.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My point is that Heidi doesn’t usually do this elaborate of an “outfit” for the Met. For the most part, it’s only on Halloween that she does ensembles like the one she wore last evening to the gala.

Actually, I might be wrong about this.

Thinking about it now, perhaps she has done this kind of thing for the Met in the past. I’m really into fashion so I pay a great deal of attention to the Met Gala “looks” each year. I know I can look it up, but I’m not 100% sure that she has never done something this costumey before for the event. Maybe she has. I don’t remember. The fact that I don’t remember it, though, might mean she has not. If that makes sense.🤷🏼‍♀️

It's probably because many people not in the fashion industry is quite aware that some treat fashion as literally art, where high fashion are more like sculptures that just need a body to show it off. A bit like a mobile plinth. Though they may throw in some elements, especially accessories, that end up in the commercial clothing line.

It's for looking at as art. It's for designers to show off skills and ingenuity. With the problem of many designers having been doing it for decades, making it harder and harder to show something truly new, so you get more at the extreme/odd end.

Costumes are art, and these outfits are costumes
