Some celebrities at the annual Met Gala in New York are known for ignoring the event's theme, despite it being one of the most important fashion events of the year. The event, hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a stage for Hollywood's biggest names to showcase their creativity and unique fashion choices. However, not everyone seems to get the memo when it comes to the theme.
Each year, the first Monday of May sees the transformation of the Met into a glamorous and dramatic event, presided over by Vogue's Anna Wintour. She is not only responsible for the event, but also the guest list and theme selection, along with the museum. This year, the theme is 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion', which has been described by the Met's Director and CEO, Marina Kellen French, as an innovative show that will push the boundaries of our imagination and invite us to appreciate the beauty and history of fashion.
Over the years, we have witnessed some unforgettable scenes at the Met Gala. From Jared Leto carrying a prosthetic version of his own head, to Rihanna dressed in a papal get-up. But we have also seen some interesting takes on the theme, which can range from boring to bizarre. Let's take a look at some celebrities who completely missed the memo.
First on the list is Kim Kardashian, who is known for her headline-making Met Gala looks. However, her all-black bodysuit and face mask designed by Balenciaga did not exactly scream 'In America'. Kim defended her outfit by stating that a T-shirt head to toe is as American as it gets. Next up is Frank Ocean, whose all-black Prada outfit did not fit the theme of 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' in 2019. He was surrounded by celebrities who went all out with their camp-themed costumes, making him stand out even more. The R&B singer was even compared to a shopping center security guard.
Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden also played it safe in a black suit that did not explore the elements of camp, as outlined in the invite. Similarly, in 2022, Marvel star Sebastian Stan wore a baggy Valentino outfit in a vibrant shade of fuchsia, which was not exactly 'Gilded Glamour' but still caught attention. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott seemed to ignore the 'Heavenly Bodies' theme in 2018, opting for a simple black outfit instead. However, Kylie revealed a wardrobe malfunction that almost happened with her dress that year. Model Irina Shayk went for a modern biker look instead of 'Gilded Glamour' in 2022, while Nicola Peltz wore a pink dress two years in a row, possibly creating her own theme. And finally, comedian Amy Schumer wore a black coat dress and matching sunglasses, which were neither gilded nor glamorous, for the 'Gilded Glamour' event.
It seems like some celebrities just can't quite grasp the concept of the Met Gala's theme. Perhaps they should take some inspiration from those who have nailed it in the past.
