Old World Glamor at The Met

Another year, another fantastic episode for The Met Gala? To be sure, the one that transpired a few hours ago contained more fashion misses than hits.

And this was to no one’s surprise.

The Met Gala has long proven to be an inflated “Oscars Night Look Alike” affair, especially for “celebrities” who normally would not get the time of day during Hollywood’s most sacred night. And so, before heading home last night, I kept a pulse on social media to see who received the most buzz for their fashion savoir faire. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, but it amazes me to see comments like “fashion slayers” applied to some of the well-known fashion faux pas celebrities that we’re all so use to.

Overall, there were way too much T&A on display at the venerable fundraising gala. Not to mention an underwhelming amount of garbs that were either too “safe” or just too “frumpy” for even grandma to wear. A number of household names whom I once praised for their great fashion sense – fell at the wayside. But then again, like show business, easy come, easy go.
