Everyone’s favorite Millennial/Gen Z crossover couple made it official on the Met Gala red carpet, although you’d never know it by their choices of outfit.
She looks like a slightly flashier than normal socialite and he looks like he works in a Christmas village.

We are genuinely surprised by how basic this is. She’s so good at wielding a specific image and she’s been riding it all the way to pop superstardom, but this feels surprisingly timid. It’s a so-so design, the cloud effect is gimmicky and her styling is chronically basic.

He opted to take the theme of the evening in the most literal way possible: by dressing up as one of the characters in the short story “The Garden of Time,” from which the gala took its theme this year. It’s a story about aristocrats facing extinction and decay and while it was chosen as an accompaniment to the exhibit’s “Sleeping Beauties” theme regarding decaying fashion, absolutely no one in attendance – with the exception of Lana Del Rey – understood the reference. Dressing up as a character for the Met Gala is…we’re just going to have to say it and risk sounding prissy: unsophisticated. Some people mistake the Costume Institute setting for a reason to dress in literal costumes, but it’s about celebrating fashion design. We can appreciate how well-executed all of it is, but he still looks a little silly to our eyes. It’s the Met Gala, not Halloween.
