• The 2023 Met Gala •
“Fashion’s biggest night of the year”
I’m in a bitchy mood, so let’s have a bitchy discussion about it.
Here goes nothing.. really though.
I wish I could be more enthusiastic but I haven’t cared about the Met Gala since 2015. Suddenly getting flashbacks of Rihanna in that spectacular Guo Pei number! The definition of iconic.
It’s 2023 and the name of the game is inclusivity. The Met Gala is the opposite of that when you really think about it, it’s one of the most exclusive events out there. The public gets a little red carpet show but we don’t get to see what really happens inside, what if it’s just a hotbed of absolute debauchery and we’re missing out? 😢
Doubtful seeing as Anna Wintour has had a stick up her ass since she came out of the womb and the whole purpose of the Met Gala is to raise money for various charities (Kind of a slay to be honest!)
Did any of the celebrities actually follow the theme this year? The answer is yes, for the most part. The theme of the met gala this year is ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’ obviously honoring the late, great designer, creative director, artist and photographer Karl Lagerfeld. Did you know he left £1.3 million to his beloved cat Choupette? How.. sweet?
I could get into why Karl Lagerfeld is thought of as an artistic visionary but I can’t be bothered and Google is free.
So let’s just get into my favorite picks of the night! I have to be honest there were many celebrities at this years Met Gala that I just couldn’t care less about and looking through each and every outfit was exhausting to say the least. Many were.. unremarkable.
Here we go—
1. Jared Leto dressed as Choupette, Karl’s beloved cat. The furries must be in heaven. The whole get-up made me laugh, the thing looks pretty realistic. I understand why people would want to join this mans cult. He’s hot and he’s got a good sense of humor. Fun. Great. Next..
2. Ava Max in custom Christian Siriano, she brought the drama I’ve desperately been craving. Also I’m a sucker for a beautiful headpiece. She looks positively radiant and angelic.
3. Dua Lipa in a white and black tweed ballgown from Chanel’s fall 1992 couture collection. “The girls that get it, get it and the girls that don’t, don’t.“ as they say. Every girl on the planet wants this dress in her closet.
4. Jenna Ortega in a custom Thom Browne ‘Wednesday’ inspired black corset dress. Outfits that lean more on the goth side tend to be incredibly cheesy looking or elegant and romantic, this dress is the latter.
(Honorable mentions: J.Lo, Kylie Jenner, Anne Hathaway, Madelyn Cline, Conan Gray, Vanessa Hudgens, Glenn Close, Lily Collins, Anitta, Brian Tyree Henry, Lila Moss, Anok Yai, Emily Ratajkowski) ..and Kim K, please try a different silhouette.. We get it! You’re curvy.
Writing is hard. Excuse my many grammatical and punctuation errors, I would try harder but I don’t want to.. Goodnight.
Ciao, bitches.

⸻ LILY COLLINS. SHE + HER / have you ever heard of LOVE by kid cudi , well, it describes PAYSON HADDAD to a tee! the twenty nine year old, CEO OF TEEN FASHION MAGAZINE 'YOUR THING MAGAZINE' was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say SHE is more ungrounded or more DREAMY instead? anyway, they remind me of old 90's teen magazines, 2,000's american fashion , pink everything , and bright red lipstick , maybe you’ll bump into them soon!
trigger warning: plane crash, financial crimes
♡ payson haddad is the ultimate rich auntie. after her sister was tragically killed in a plane crash scandal involving a cover up, payson became the sole provider and guardian of her niece and nephew, who are now grown up and ready to leave her nest, but the three are extremely close. payson would do absolutely anything for them and think the world of them. they are well taken care of thanks to her and can get anything they want if they ask.
♡ growing up, payson was born into an upper middle class family. they weren’t filthy rich like some of the old money families in england but they were far more privileged than most. owning several different properties and vacation homes, they were well off but not quite worth millions, they did however, have a century of roots in nottinghill as one of the most influential law families in the area. what payson would find out in her teenage years, was that her family hadn’t always acquired their wealth and notoriety through moral or legal means.
♡ payson’s father’s side of the family were the ones tied to a law dynasty in the area of nottinghill, the last name haddad tied to her great great great grandfather who started the families law firm in the 18th century as solicitors.
♡ payson’s father was a good conman but in the long run was taken down by his own partners in his law firm. the law firm that once belonged to his ancestors now ceased to exist after uncovering years of payson’s father’s fraudulent financial crimes against his clients and the firm at large.
♡ the scandal of the haddad’s law firm was broadcast all over london and was the most talked about topic for almost two years, all of this going down around the time payson was seventeen. she was just about to graduate from her private school a year early, and the timing came perfect, she graduated and got the hell out of town, studying abroad in paris, france for four years before she ever set foot back in nottinghill.
♡ payson’s father ended up taking a guilty plea to save his family further embarrassment and social isolation. he made sure the public eye and the law knew that his crimes were only a reflection of him and that his family were all innocent bystanders who had no knowledge of the injust acts he was carrying out behind everyone’s backs.
♡ payson’s mother tried her to best to manage the scrutiny and backlash they received from the scandal. she even helped try to keep the whole thing under wraps for her husband until the time came that she could no longer cover things up for him.
♡ payson never fully allowed herself to process all that came with her father’s scandal. the things being spread and said about her online were things she wouldn’t allow herself to read. she knew she’d never get past her fathers mistakes if she allowed them to hinder her from moving forward.
♡ it took her a while but she was determined to make a name for herself, separate from her father’s terrible reputation, and with her dedication and ambition, she did just that. payson spent her time in paris studying fashion and birthing the idea of ‘ your thing magazine ‘ while she was there. ( points if you recognize the name from the bratz rock angels movie lmao )
♡ payson completely revamped the haddad legacy and name into that of a fashion icon. your thing magazine is extremely popular among the teen and young adult age range. think of it as one of those 90′s magazines with all the posters and polls and latest teen celeb gossip and fashion do’s and don’ts.
