oliver's silly little round up of favorite and fun met gala looks bc sometimes ya just need to oooh and aaah at pretty dresses

favorite look of the night: zendaya's second look duh (black dress); the headpiece is wonderful and the bodice, shape of the dress, and different fabrics really made the black dress more special. like the makeup more here, the softer look really helped

da'vine joy - the long red hair? the denim? the contrasting blue shades? literally reminds me of fantasy heroine's dress in the big ball before they run into the forest (if you like her look, def go follow notyourmommashistory on insta!)

phoebe dynevor - loved the draping and the color and the different textures; literally looks like the 'veiled fabric' you see in old marble statues. pink undergarments is a fun change to the usual skin tone garments these naked dresses go with

alia bhatt - amazing bead work, dreamy and soft and so fun! honestly impressed that busy fabric can be sooo delicate and wispy.

gwendoline christie - the hair? the velvet? the cape? wonderfully styled; need her as fashionable villain

pamela anderson - a+ silhouette, love the chain and the feather hair. one of the few neutral colored dresses that didn't fall into the 'sad beige aesthetic' lmao

zendaya's first look - love the stripes and the grapes and the dragonflies/birds (i can't tell), minus a few points cause of the eyebrows. either needed darker brows or less artsy makeup i think

quannah chasinghorse - literally cinderella (and dare i say, better done than zendaya's past met gala look?), love that it looks like a flower, and the beadwork belt and earrings compliment the dress so well

taylor russel - kinda literal with the tree bark, but the molded top is so well done and the skirt draping is very statuesque

harris reed - literally looks like a renaissance painting? no notes, only admiration

imaan hammam - loved the simpler skirt so the studded top and big earrings could shine. gold wrist cuff bracelets were the cherry on top for a perfectly balanced look.

tyla - the sand is a little literal but super cool and love the sand on her arms

penelope cruz - vintage, lacy drama. i want to see this look in a movie (with maybe a different fabric than the white at the bustline)

venus williams - i didn't super love this look at first, but it's def grown on me. very memorizing and the hair accessories help tie everything together.

colman domingo - he knows how to rock a voluminous pant. the cream suit jacket with the cape is fun and could def hold on it's own without the pants.

wisdom kaye - love the color and the drama of the coat, the burned holes is fun and funky; don't super love the hat tho (it's giving boy george)

bad bunny - chef's kiss at the fun texture of the suit, the hat, and the red striping

honorary mentions - anok yai (loved the sparkles and colors and big ring, hated the jumpsuit and weird waistband), lewis hamilton (the flowers were great but a little boring in all black, bonus points for the metal vine tho), gigi hadid (love the bright white and black piping and obvious bustle inspo, but there's no way she could breathe in it), josh o'connor (for the suit tails only)

misc: brie larson's dress looks like the mosquito keeper-outer food cover thing lmao; michelle yeoh deserved better than crumpled up tinfoil
