Met Gala 2017

Who What Wear

Dubbed the Oscars of the East, the #MetGala2017 brings @reikawakubo1942 / @commedesgarcons: Art of the In-Between. You would think that guests will keep up with her flair for inventive silhouettes that challenge the boundaries of size, scale and utility. But it appears that many missed the memo, with only a handful honoring the theme in unexpected ways… Regardless, here’s our quick picks of the best dressed this year! 

@lillycollins

Supermodel @liuwenlw chose a denim that’s both falling apart and put-together by @off____white, an homage to CDG’s past collection that was denim. @grimes was in @proenzaschouler ‘s floating hems, and it was defo blue-heart-emoji all around with @traceeellisross ‘s @commesdesgarcon dress. Next, an ode to the beauties. #RuthNegga was statuesque in her bohemian-chic @maisonvalentino, as was @rubyrose in her #MetGala2017 debut, wearing a @burberry ruffle frock. The newly bald @caradelevigne can do no wrong in her sleek and shiny evening @chanelofficial suit; the masculine-opposite to @haileybaldwin ‘s @houseofherrera delicate ballerina gown and ‘do! 

First, let’s take a look at those who did pay attention to the theme this #MetGala2017. @lilycollins wore @giambattistavalliparis making it her own, tapping into her dark side as she showed off her edgy-girly style. 

@liuwenlw
@mooibelleza - Cara,@mooibelleza - Lily Collins

The men weren’t all bad themselves. @donaldglover_ a.k.a. @childishgambino became the master of the sartorial swerve with his @burberry patterned tux, and let’s not forget @diddy ‘s quick swag-break on the stairs of #MetGala2017in his @rickowensonline suit and @louboutinworld shoes. Want avant-garde? How about @c.syresmith in his simple @louisvuitton suit, clutching his cut-off dreadlocks as an accessory? And @pharell though, in his @commedesgarcons plaid shirt, black moto jacket, and custom vintage jeans that read “Rei” across the knee. 

Jaden Smith
Rihanna

Best Dressed - “It’s actually very easy; it’s like bootie shorts, and you buckle on some snaps…” And just like that, we were all starstruck-staring like @azizansari. Need we say more? Without a doubt, @badgalriri lived up to her streak and made the theme proud that #MetGala2017 night, wearing her @commedesgarcons Fall’16 collection. When asked about how she defines avant-garde, she answers “I think it’s such a free range of expression; and you can do whatever you want within that space.”
