I stayed up until 6:30am to catch the livestream of the Met Gala. The tiny screen was desaturated and pixelated so I really couldn't see the dresses properly, but it was still so exciting to see the people come in and spot an amazing dress and try to guess who was wearing it. On my Twitter, I did commentaries that just consisted of "OHMYGOD" and "WERK!". It was also pretty fun to see who wore which dresses and what alterations they made like January Jones who wore a gown version of the yellow Versace couture.
What I really love about the Costume Institute Gala and what I look forward to every year is when designers bring their "dates"- models or artists or whoever is their muse or whoever represents their design aesthetic. This year there were a lot of very interesting pairs! Olivier Theyskens and Caroline Trentini went together and I was so excited, because I love Olivier so much and Caroline was my first ever favorite model when I was younger so it was so cute to see them together! Joseph Altuzzara brought Lana del Rey which was fabulous, because he dressed her in a killer sequin and cape combo. Alexander Wang brought Azealia Banks and I was just thankful that he didn't bring the Die Antwoord guys. Riccardo Tisci went with Rooney Mara, which wasn't surprising, but I was hoping for a much cooler date like last year's, but I guess since MCB's pregnant, it wasn'y going to happen. Of course, Rooney made it into my best dressed, seeing as she's wearing a custom Givenchy which she also collaborated with in creating.
I think the best thing about this year's Costume Institute Gala is that there was no Katy Perry in a light-up blinking dress.
