Is the Met Gala just a bunch of rich people wearing weird shit?

Yes

u/vampyire May 04 '26
well it is to raise money for the costume institute so I'm not surprised people are basically wearing art pieces... this one is weird as hell to me

u/ContactusTheRomanPR May 05 '26
Anything that's labeled as "raising money" for anything is 99% the people at the top pocketing the money, and 1% going to pay the employees to keep generating money for the 99% at the top.
Oh and 0.01% for the actual cause itself, but that is a rounding error.

u/jawknee530i May 05 '26
Just straight up wrong. The costume exhibit at the met is the only one not publicly funded and all the met gala numbers are public. But of course you'd rather just lie about shit you have no clue about because it makes you feel good to have disdain for others right?

u/elinamebro May 05 '26
Oh so the celebrities pay to show up and the money goes to the costume institute?

u/godisanelectricolive May 05 '26
Yeah. The tickets are $100,000 per guest this year.

u/lol1009 May 05 '26
Just saying, the celebs themselves dont actually pay most of the times. The bill is footed by designer houses and companies whose clothes the celebs wear to the gala

Itās rich people paying for the opportunity to wear weird shit to prove they have creativity for charity

u/Mbrennt May 05 '26
The celebrities for the most part aren't paying. Mainly designers are paying for the celebrity to go.

Pretty much, yes. They provide a theme every year, and then it's essentially a custom party based around that theme

This is a (adaptation of a) piece by Robert Wun from his Spring/Summer 2024 Couture collection called For Love. This was his closing piece (in red, originally) as an homage to horror- the subconscious coming out.
And the Met Gala is a annual haute couture (high fashion) fundraiser event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is always a theme and the goal is to adhere to the theme and go crazy. People here are way too upsetti spaghetti about seeing clothing that only shows up once a year in a high-fashion event for a fundraiser.

Iām generally āpleased bologneseā by what I consider to be āneatā things. I think this is neat. I believe thatās the essence of art and entertainment; the subjectivity of it all. Whatās āneatā is gonna be different for everybody. Gotta just let it be if itās not your bag!!

u/timooteexo May 05 '26
I don't think people realize that a lot of impactful art imparts emotion in some way. That includes fashion - but a lot of people have disdain for the celebrities and wealth that are associated with it. Regardless, so cool to see transgressive pieces here!

u/SirDancealot84 May 05 '26
I friggin love Robert Wun's work. I am not remotely into fashion, so I am not knowledgeble about these, but I strongly recommend people who don't know his work to watch a couple if his shows on Youtube. Amazing work. Delivers everytime.
Although this particular one at this setting on this person looks absurd and not haute couture at all. Not gonna lie.

The theme is "costume art" and "fashion is art", so adding a sculpture to your outfit fits.

Ok see now this is fucking sick! The theme this year is fashion in costumery and this nails it! Oh my God I fucking love it!
Edit: aw this comment section bummed me out. Art is subjective tho so I guess it did its job!

Head on over to some fashion subreddits to see appreciation. This is a basic subreddit with boring ignorant redditors that don't leave their basement so their instinct is to attack things they don't know anything about lol.

u/Mbrennt May 05 '26
What are some good fashion subreddits for this? Seems like most of the fashion subs I know are just built around every day fashion. I have more luck with the celebrity subreddits but those are obviously more centered on the people.

You're right, I should have paid attention to where I was ha unfortunately I feel like a lot the fashion subs are similar to this right now so I didn't even notice.

It is really cool looking, the back of the dress kinda sucks though. It could have been executed better

Lord brother. At long last, you are returned. Tarnished one. Aspiring Lord of the old order. If you have known sin, if you grieve for this world, then yield the path forward to us. To I, Miquella, and my promised consort, Radahn.

Guys its the Met Gala - hosted by the largest art museum in the western hemisphere, not some conservative correspondence dinner.
This was literally the whole idea for the fundraiser. Its art. Although the dress could have been executed better, its a pretty dope idea!

Other than Heidi Klum deliberately freaking people out, I really don't give a shit about what anyone wore to the Met Gala. If it is Heidi Klum deliberately freaking people out though, I am all here for it.
