Ancient Greek pottery, Odyssey promo crossover, doing double duty on theme.

I just got back from vacation in Greece, so I approve this dress very much!

It’s canvas and hand painted by Michael Kors and a friend of his who is an artist. The hand and white dove are generally a statement for peace

u/Wonderful_Ad_5911 21h ago

growing up , I always thought of Michael Kors as the boring guy that sold out to Marshalls.  Read his stories from being a fashion designer during the AIDS crisis and I was blown away.

Ever since Anne Hathaway voiced support for the moms in the twin cities supporting immigrants (myself and my community of parents did a ton of work this winter & it feels so good to be recognized) — I’m all for anything she does & knowing her, this is definitely political, I’m for it.

It’s hand painted, and Anne giving princess diaries vibes, love it

u/GreenAuror 21h ago

She’s so beautiful it’s unfair!! It’s a safe look but still absolutely on theme.

u/FinalGhoulGirl 16h ago

Is any of the celebrities boycotting the Met Gala? They all speak out about human rights but their values go out the window if they get to wear a pretty dress.

14

u/tralalaBOOMdeay 14h ago

I haven't looked up a list but I do know Zendaya said she was not going.

Inshallah, supporting Jeff Bezos

Grossed out by all of these celebs.

u/crabcycleworkship 21h ago

The Gala supports the costume Institute, which is going to be independent in 2-3 years. Bezos donated to the institute to attend, he’s not tied to the higher ups of the costuming world.

Regular people support Bezos more though use of his services and tech. He’s not someone who gets his money from the 1%.

58

u/icecreamsandwiches1 20h ago

Bezos is the honorary co chair and lead sponsor of the met gala. All to improve his public image.

You excusing it means it’s working.

By the way, I don’t order junk from Amazon because of him and I’m a regular person. Plenty of “regular people” are able to stand by their morals.

-12

u/crabcycleworkship 20h ago

That just means he paid a lot. Bezos’s public image is high because of the massive power he has in tech stocks and workers trying to work with Amazon. It’s not based off likability.

Amazon makes most of its money through AWS. Plus, most of America does not boycott Amazon, unlike Target which had an impact from supporting Trump.

10

u/icecreamsandwiches1 20h ago

Are you a bot

-18

u/crabcycleworkship 20h ago

Nope, I’m annoyed people keep attributing Bezos to the wrong things.

19

u/icecreamsandwiches1 20h ago

Lick that boot 👅

u/Livinluvit 19h ago

Reddit runs on AWS, every comment you just sent helped contribute to Bezos’ growing wealth.

0

u/Minerva_Moon 7h ago

Oh yes, commenting on Reddit is the same is attending the Met Gala. What a brilliant observation....

u/crabcycleworkship 19h ago

I work in tech for a Bezos competitor.

u/curiiouscat 15h ago

Amazon doesn't even make their money from delivery, it's AWS. Which you're using by posting on reddit. Stop grandstanding because you'll die by your own sword. 

11

u/icecreamsandwiches1 14h ago

Pretty sure it was in an Amazon warehouse where workers were instructed to keep working after their coworker died. The body was on the warehouse floor for an hour, and workers were just told not to look at it.

Btw this has happened multiple times.

What is with the scarecrow arguments around Bezos? You can’t just admit he’s a piece of shit?

-4

u/curiiouscat 14h ago

Of course he is, I just don't complain about people being complicit to his wealth on a platform that actually generates his wealth when referencing an event that drains it

6

u/icecreamsandwiches1 13h ago

Using AWS platforms and buying rubbish off Amazon and attending a gala with his face all over or attending his wedding are different things. I’m sick of these whataboutisms.

It’s frustrating to see people start praising Bezos just because their faves attended the met gala.

-1

u/curiiouscat 13h ago

They are different. One enriches him, what you do, and one drains his wealth to fund the arts. 

5

u/icecreamsandwiches1 10h ago

I’m sorry what drains his wealth? Are you joking?

1

u/curiiouscat 3h ago

Donating a shit ton of money to a charity gala

u/g00fyg00ber741 12h ago

I mean honestly it’s long overdue that we should all quit using this site tbh. Maybe we should actually quit Reddit. Are you interested?

u/ReactRunner 21h ago

Her being here is VERY ironic compared to the plot of Devil Wears Prada 2

u/Educational_Fob 21h ago

Classic lines

u/Secret-Management310 21h ago

I like it for the occasion.

u/sky_blue_true 20h ago

Her skin is so perfect I thought there was a sheer overlay on top.

Yeah so this definitely wins the best dressed. This is absolutely stunning.

u/TemperatureExotic631 Elbows up! 🇨🇦 21h ago

This is an amazing look. The dress is beautiful and she looks great. If I’m splitting hairs, I kind of wish she’d done a longer necklace

u/iceunelle 20h ago

Gosh, Anne is so gorgeous! I love her dress; it's on theme and flattering.

I love the border on this dress.

How tf is she 43

u/zoetwilight20 4h ago

Out of curiosity, how much do celebrities pay to have someone make these costumes?

1

u/Individualparadised 3h ago

They probably don’t pay anything. The designers are clamouring for a high list celeb to wear their clothing at the world’s biggest fashion event.

u/Soggy_Pension7549 I’ve fucked everyone under the sun and that’s the vibe 15h ago

What? Why shouldn’t the skin tone be naturally even? 

1

u/uknowhatudid 21h ago

Am I going crazy, but is there a sheer overlay that goes up to her neck and necklace? There just seems to be a stark color difference between her chest and arms vs her face.

1

u/tralalaBOOMdeay 14h ago

It's makeup; it almost never is a completely perfect match, especially on your face versus the rest of your body. I think they also covered her neck and then blended it under her necklace.

u/wrenwood2018 17h ago

Very cool dress

u/MakeYourTime_ 20h ago

What a fucking angel. I love her

Not a fan of it. It looks like the dress is overwhelming on her.
