Met Gala: Dresses, rhinestones,

The Met Gala was quite fascinating this year. From fashionistas to furries, everybody was serving something unforgettable. Some looks were almost as bad as the toothpaste colored carpet, but some attendees pulled off their best looks yet.

We’re all wondering: What exactly was the theme? Past Met Gala themes are “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” “Gilded Glamour,” and the beloved “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” This year's theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: a Line of Beauty,” which is based off of a German fashion designer known for his alternate looks and controversial personality "I've always known that I was made to live this way,” he once said. “That I would be this sort of legend." So, who honored that legacy? Everybody noticed the lack of Met Gala icons such as Blake Lively and Zendaya. With a new cast of invitees, we were all waiting to see who would step up. The results? More surprising than you might think

To start, Anne Hathaway was a shining light in the dark Her Versace, white-tweed dress with a dazzling cutout was held together by gold pins and pearls a Chanel reference that was perfectly on theme and stunning all together. Paired with her tweed gloves and jacket, diamond choker, and white platform pumps, Anne Hathaway wholeheartedly deserves her spot on top of the best-dressed list

Olivia Rodrigo, on the other hand, left much to be desired. In her black-and-white Thom Browne dress with cloth flower appliques on top and black-andwhite fringe cascading down, the gown was not innovative nor elegant. Coupled with the tacky micro-fringe and minimal jewelry, the look is a boring nod to Audrey Hepburn and a complete disregard to Karl Lagerfeld. Emmy winner, model, and actor Sydney Sweeny has “never, ever been happier,” as stated at the 2022 MTV awards. She dazzled in a beaded, pink Miu Miu dress with a sheer black bow tied in her hair. The bow was designed by Glen Coco as a reference to his collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld. Her 60s, girly ensemble embodied the femininity that was so prominent in Lagerfeld’s work Paired with a pink lip and shimmery eyeshadow, she came dressed to kill.
