The metallic colour palate that Chloe looks like a Guest in a French Themed dressed Party. Meaning, the way its portrait in the Movies. rich people throw balls with a period in mind & guest dresses up like that.

Alicia keys wore a custom Ralph Lauren Custom look, An Asymmetric Cape with beautifully Embroidered crystals in silver with straight gown was not at all interesting for the theme. Silver for Gilded Glamour? Din work either. Modern Skyline? why? could have switched it up with the Architecture of the Gilded Era, or the first building to incorporate the era. Anything But we get is this.

Kim Kardashian did Some dramatic take on the Met Which was not really taken well by most people. As she walked the Carpert in the original Marilyn Monroe’s Gown designed by John Louis in the Colour matching Precisely to her skin, When worn by Marilyn almost 60 yrs back, which was considered Controversial for he time, consider now Iconic, while she sang Happy Birthday to the President. One of the most American thing in American History.

I’m not really happy that Kim wore this for Gilded glamour , if she would have worn it last year would have made sense as it was about American things & Marilyn was an Absolute choice but again wearing this dress would not be the right decision for not only the historic importance but also wear & tear & affecting it. Plus it doesn’t even match her skins tone which exactly was the point of the dress when made for Marilyn. Nor was the hair matched to her if portraying her Hair just looks weirdly gross. Could Av gone for something with the Theme & let everyone live peacefully.

Hoping next year she might go with something more experimental than sticking to the same bodycon looks as it just look’s the same on her for a While.
