Ah, the Met Gala. So many looks, but almost none that understood the assignment. Who could blame them? What does 'American Independence' look like; beyond the bald eagle, the star-spangled banner, and perhaps some guns? Certainly nothing like what 2019's 'Notes on Camp' and the iconic 'Heavenly Bodies' of 2018 served.
There was no lack of political messages and agendas in the dress code this year, that's for sure. From the right on the nose 'Peg the Patriachy' by Cara Delevingne and AOC's 'Tax the Rich' to the less pointed symbolic transformations of Lil Nas X, these celebrities want it to be known they have something to say. And then there's Kim K.
So we mean it when we say all of them—apart from supermodel Iman, who showed how to correctly execute a '20s reference on such a scale—deserve the meme treatment. Now, scroll away.
AN ETHOS WE ALL CAN SUPPORT
