met gala crystal ball đź
Tomorrow is one of my favorite days of the year. Itâs the first Monday in May, which means that the Met Gala is upon us. The Met Gala is the sartorial equivalent to watching Chopped from your couch and saying things like, âI donât think that red wine reduction is going to work with the frozen meatloaf Craig is trying to pass off as filet mignon,â while eating peanut butter from the jar. I love it.Â
I know nothing about fashion, but I love judging fame-os on the one homework assignment they get in a year. Sue me! This yearâs theme is Camp, which is probably the hardest one to pull off since Iâve been paying attention. How does one dress for a Camp theme? Camp is about aesthetics, but thereâs no one way to do it and a million wrong ways to do it. Tricky! If I had to guess Iâd say that lots of people will simply do ~*sparkles*~, which is not Camp unless youâre wearing vintage Bob Mackie.Â
Speaking of guessing! As I said, I donât know anything about fashion but I do know a lot about celebrities. What I also know is that there will be three camps (no pun intended) tomorrow: People Who Nail It, People Who Donât Try, and People Who Try And Fail. Iâm now going to look into my crystal ball and guess who will fall where. (Iâm using this tweet from a Frank Ocean stan account for the guest list lmao) Please refer back to this tomorrow and give me praise if Iâm right and never mention it at all if Iâm wrong.Â
People Who Will Nail It
Lady Gaga (would be embarrassing for a host to swing and miss, also Gaga IS camp) Harry Styles (see: the hosting note above) Anne Hathaway Tracee Ellis Ross Frank Ocean (obviously praying for a drag moment here) Janelle Monae Jennifer Lopez (she should wear the famous green Versace dress IMO!! I donât know if thatâs actually Camp but it would be such a Moment) Lupita Nyongâo Sarah Jessica Parker Billy Porter RuPaul Chadwick Boseman Blake Lively Jared Leto (SORRY) Zendaya (only because she shares a stylist with Celine Dion)Â
People Who Wonât Try
Kendall Jenner (when has she ever) Biebers, Justin and Hailey Emily Blunt Julianne Moore (feel bad about this one but I just have a feeling) Both Hadids A$AP Rocky Michael B Jordan Kerry WashingtonÂ
People Who Will Try And Fail
Amy Adams (listen, I wish this werenât the column I was putting her in but Iâm just not convinced) Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas (they always do Ralph Lauren which I donât think is conducive to Camp) Dakota Johnson Alicia Keys Katy Perry (a shame because she loves being campy but I donât think she understands Camp. Like, the Witness World Wide experience was Camp. Teenage Dream was campy.) Mindy Kaling Gal GadotÂ
Some extra notes:Â
I saw someone say that Rihanna isnât going but then I heard someone say that she IS and I just donât know what to believe. Obviously if she shows up she will kill it.Â
I have a feeling that BeyoncĂ© is going to come this year and she will also look amazing. Sheâd obv wear like, vintage Dapper Dan or something of that nature.Â
A problem with this theme is that Camp isnât supposed to know itâs Camp, and so nailing the assignment and declaring âThis outfit is Campâ kind of makes the whole thing null and void. But whatever, who cares. Again, this is a bunch of millionaires hanging out at The Met.Â
I think it would be really funny if someone like Kendallâwho is usually criticized for âjust wearing a prom dressââto actually wear a prom dress. Full Jessica McLintock, bejeweled bodice mall chic.Â
See yâall on the TL tomorrow night!Â
