So what do all of my fashion friends think of the outfits at this year’s Met Gala? This year’s theme was Comme des Garçons: The Art of the In-between, in homage to 74-year-old Japanese designer Rei Kawajubo.

Very odd, but that’s sort of the theme this year, I guess. . It’s hard to find something I like. I think my favorite was Chrissy Tiegens.
I liked Blake Lively’s. I know that Katy Perry and Rihanna were going for the theme, but I thought they just ended up looking weird!
I liked Miranda Kerr in her Oscar de la Renta dress (#62). Serena Williams looks good in that emerald green.
There are many dresses that look super uncomfortable, LOL
There are a lot of ugly dresses there. And what’s with the men’s pants? Men’s leggings are coming closer and closer.
Trench coat with a train?
Megyn Kelly, Jennifer Lopez in her light blue Valentino (with a Judith Leiber Couture bag and Alex Rodriguez as accessories), and Mindy Kaling look great.
Trench with a train… could not figure out what to do with the leftover fabric that the customer already paid for. 
The trench with a train was Ralph Lauren. Then there was the Bella Hadid catsuit - it looked like her stylist forgot to give her the skirt! And Kendall Jenner in the La Perla haute couture gown that was barely there.
I wonder who Jennifer Lopez’s stylist is as she always looks so great. That blue dress was perfection.
Others looked good, some not as much. I get the dressing for the theme a la Katy Perry. What I don’t get is being practically naked. We get that you have a great body. I don’t need to see your bum.
Thanks for the link! I love looking at this stuff.
Not liking Michele Lamy or Kendal Jackson’s choice of clothing, but really enjoyed those choosing to wear ttraditional classic glamour.
@showmom858 - I agree about Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Did your girls ever ride against Bella? I wondered how did some of them sit down.
The Olson twins were interesting to me. Both my D’s loved all of their movies. They always look so unhappy.
I feel very old and out of it… I didn’t recognize many of these people.
I’m amused that I’m suposed to vote “daring”, “elegant”, or “original” when really what I want to vote is “Ugly”, “really really ugly” and “what were you thinking?”
Edited to add - Serena Williams looks like she’s expecting now!
Wow, Kim Kardashian West sure looks dumpy in that outfit.
I like the dress Anna Wintour’s daughter is wearing. Zendaya looks terrific.
Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola were wicked gorgeous.
I love looking at all the attendees but think, I could not possibly deal with this. The pressure to look just right and not be ridiculed the next day.
@mom60 - my D didn’t ride against them, but we know their trainer. My D rode against Steven Spielberg’s D. My D rides for the UCSD equestrian team and the UCLA coach trains one of the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
I love looking at these outfits – both the good, the bad, and the absurd.
My friend’s D works for one of the big designer’s in the LA office that had many of the Met Gala outfits. My friend and I were texting yesterday about how awful some of the outfits were from that designer.
Did anyone read the essay on Rei Kawakubo and the clothes she designs in last Sunday’s New York Times Magazine? I thought it did a nice job of arguing why our response to some of these clothes should be something other than/beyond simply “Ugly!” and “Ridiculous!”
That said, I saw a picture of someone at the gala wearing the red Comme des Garcons dress that was included in the Times piece. That person had to be pretty upset: the dress looked much better in the posed, art-directed fashion photo with the glamorous, reed-thin Dutch model than it did on a real person in a red-carpet snapshot. Elegant bulb for a fantasy flower vs. snowsuit for dumpy alien children.
