Behold! Fashion Notes, Met Gala edition are here! I’m breaking down the best and worst dressed stars from the red carpet.
For this year’s Costume Institute exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the late and great Karl Lagerfeld is being paid tribute. Lagerfeld died in February 2019 and I wrote about his legacy at the time.
I consider him the most innovative designer of the 20th and 21st centuries as he defied expectations during his tenure at Chanel and did not allow the limits of the fashion crowd’s narrow-mindedness dictate his artistry. He designed a world that lives in our imaginations. No one else has been able to create that vision quite like Lagerfeld.

Bizarro World fashions
I didn’t completely keep up, but you’re correct.....they both looked very elegant & timeless. Kate should have worn her hair in a loose chignon though. Too many were utterly appalling.....naked butts on seats? 🤢
J Lo...WTF?
THAT mess is considered high fashion??
I’ve got a description: demonic. A demon-wannabe.
Peach
We peasants can rest comfortably in our frigid dark hovels knowing these people are saving the planet.
The Met should give this party to MOMA, and get on with real ART.
The “elites” say: Let them eat cake!
Celebrities from the past would look fabulous with their hair pinned up, elegantly dressed in beautiful, flowing, even modest gowns. Today? Not so much. They look like skanks, pushing “style” to the freaky edge.
