Met Gala 2022

Any opinions thus far on the finery worn? The theme for the event is the Gilded Age, but many attendees have ignored the suggestion. Billie Eilish, below, appears to have read and digested the memo.

Khloe Kardashian, however, is following her typical playbook.

@golding76 I think Billie's gown is beautiful and spot on. She did it up right.

@golding76 In case you care, there is a thread in Fashion with lots more photos. F.Y.I.

I wondered why there wasn't a thread on this yet.

Thank you for letting me know. The Fashion category makes sense, of course, but I think of the Met Gala as bigger than that -- it is an event.

I will now go over to Fashion and see what has been written.

I agree with Kim (who is wearing Marilyn Monroe's Happy Bday gown) and Blake Lively . No on Jessica Chastain

A ridiculous event for the 1%.

ellaphant, I agree that it is a frivolity.

The Met Gala is a big event in certain circles, and for those people who long to attend and be seen, it is a moment of triumph.

I enjoy discovering who was invited by Anna Wintour and seeing what they wore (even when I think their choice was horrific).

Actually, not ridiculous at all. The event raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute.
I guess if you don't care about the preservation of historic artifacts, it could be considered a waste.

Agreed. They could eliminate world hunger with the money they spend for 1 single day prancing around looking foolish

Many of the gowns were very nice but if I went, in my younger days, Sarah Jessica Parker, would be my pick! 👠

Jessica Chastain does not look good.. I don't care for her look at all, and normally she looks great!

Every time I see Khloe Kardashian she looks less and less like Khloe Kardashian.

So could countless rich people with the money they spend on themselves every single day and with the taxes they avoid every single day. So to say this about this event that raises funds for a museum that is a invaluable public asset, well that seems a bit incongruous.

I looked at quite a few on a magazine site this morning. I was happy to see some very lovely traditional type gowns and not just craziness. Julianne Moore really looked lovely.

@faeriemoon My thoughts exactly. She has bought herself an entirely new body from head to toe. If she had not been identified in the picture I would have had no clue who this woman was.

@CANDLEQUEEN "Jessica Chastain does not look good.. I don't care for her look at all, and normally she looks great!"

She looks like she should be saying "I am ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille."

Growing up she considered herself the fat, ugly sister. Hence the metamorphsis.
