I was just reading that Kim K wore the actual dress to walk and take photos but then changed into a replica for the actual event.

I really like Alicia Keys dress & cape.

Absolutely no one can wear Marilyn's dress but Marilyn Monroe.  Amy Schumer needs to go away.  The theme this year did not get out to too many people.  Seems like the fashion was all the place.

Kylie Jenner's fashion choice was said to be in memorium of Virgil Abloh.

These are costumes.  I don't know why people see this as everyday fashion.  It's wearable art.  Some may have had the theme right and some may not.  I see a lot of folks who did get it right.

“The Gilded Age” is the term used to describe the tumultuous years between the Civil War and the turn of the twentieth century. The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today was a famous satirical novel by Mark Twain set in the late 1800s, and was its namesake. During this era, America became more prosperous and saw unprecedented growth in industry and technology. But the Gilded Age had a more sinister side: It was a period where greedy, corrupt industrialists, bankers and politicians enjoyed extraordinary wealth and opulence at the expense of the working class. In fact, it was wealthy tycoons, not politicians, who inconspicuously held the most political power during the Gilded Age.

Though not a fan of some of the outfits, for the most part they could fit within the definition of "Gilded Glamour" I think, though some very loosely.  But Kourtney K's in no way.   They need to stop with the PDA.  Tongues in each other's mouths at the Met Gala just seems a bit tacky.  It is almost like she is so sick of being the invisible Kardashian that she has finally found a way to make headlines with Travis.

@Wsmom These are bespoke works of art.  This theme was to represent a period in history called the Gilded Age.  I have provided a little synopsis of that time in American History.  None of us were here for it.

@gertrudecloset It is obvious that Hollywood has no clue what the "gilded age" actually represented.  Thanks for posting  these anyway!

@Boomernichols I think YOU don't know this period in our History.  Go read up about it and you might find many of the stars who worked in conjunction with the designers got it spot on!

What are YOU even talking about.  It's a costume ball for goodness sakes @Katcat1 .  The attire was to coincide with the theme of the work on display at the museum.  I guess a lot of folks don't like museums.
