2024 MET GALA FASHION ROAST (disappointed is an understatement)

[Music]

hello everybody my name is luk mAh and

this is hotl mode and today on hotland

mode we're getting into your Met Gala

2024 fashion roast and review part one

yes this is only part one we have a lot

of looks to discuss so buckle up

buttercups I'm going to be honest when

the metgala live stream ended I thought

this is a good one it was a joke now no

it wasn't underwhelmed is maybe a little

bit of an under

exaggeration I thought that there was

going to be a delivering in terms of the

garden of time the idea of florals the

idea of time but now if you do not

understand the theme which is the garden

of time and you're confused as why

everybody's been talking about Sleeping

Beauties Reawakening fashion you have to

check out our video which explains the

full meal theme and the exhibit of the

costume Institute it's very important

that you understand that in order to

really get your pitchforks really

sharpened and a little bit of

housekeeping I know that you were

currently writing horrible things to say

about what I look like right now fair

but I want to let it be known I am in

fact wearing Balenciaga oat cure not new

Balenciaga okur but Balenciaga okur by

chrisal Balenciaga himself this was

touched by the man the myth The Legend

and you want to know how I know that

look at this label look at the number

inside the label it's real bun okure do

I look like Paul River absolutely are

the sleeves on this way too short

absolutely and now that you know that I

know that I look not so great let's get

into the looks first up let's talk about

Anna herself listen Anna normally don't

really get it now Anna is wearing L who

is the sponsor of this Met Gala

alongside Tik Tok I am also wearing l a

new little loafer very chic very sweet

now this look is actually based on

images that we saw really really early

on of the Met Gala and the original

piece is by Charles Frederick worth

Charles Frederick worth if you don't

know is the father of O cure so this

textile is actually called the Tulip H

days is the original one like Holland

Day sauce and it was at the point in

1889 the most expensive texile to

produce because the Tulip Motif was

actually 3 ft long I believe and there

was something about like 31,000 jacard

Loom something that it took to produce

so it was very very expensive and so

that's kind of what we're seeing here

Dre van noton created it it's a whole

thing in the exhibit and it seems like

Le recreated it as well and I wore a

sort of jacket over top of a dress and

that's her reference to the exhibit I

don't know listen I like it I think it's

interesting I think it keeps in with the

theme I think that it most definitely is

a good solid reference and it's not

hideous to look at which can't always

say about Anna's outfits so I'm into it

I think it works I think it makes sense

listen if you're getting into the

Sleeping Beauties rather than the garden

of Time by you know wearing a flower

I'll accept next up we have Ariana

Grande and she is wearing L as well now

this is a custom style and this bodice

is very hard Ariana was kind of like

knocking on it and it's made out of

mother of pearl the thing is Ariana said

that Jonathan Anderson was like I see

you in mother of pearl I don't know if

that actually happened but it's also

Ariana's birthstone and she said that it

referenced the fact that Wicked is

coming up and Glenda the Good Witch has

like her little bubble that's shiny and

stuff her look was so similar to Taylor

Russell's because they both had these

sort of draped little sashes at the

waist and then they both had floor

length semi-white skirts and it just

felt like they were a little bit too

similar and it kind of threw me off kind

of fell away from being super

interesting and exciting I don't really

know what the garden of time element is

here I also don't really see the whole

idea of Sleeping Beauty's Reawakening

fashion here either it just kind of fell

very flat to me unfortunately very sad

very upsetting you know it's pretty to

some people sure great wonderful happy

for you but I can't find any interesting

aspect that ties into the theme next up

we have Bad Bunny who is wearing Marella

now I believe that this is a custom look

but it is based on the most recent

artisanal collection by John gallano

from Marella it's the spring 2024

collection and we know that because

there are a lot of these exposed seams

something that is very much a part of

the margel history the brand it's very

much so a call back to past looks

considering that the whole idea of the

garden of time and also the Sleeping

Beauties Reawakening fashion exhibit is

sort of calling back to past pieces and

things although things that are usually

a lot more delicate that shouldn't be

worn I do I guess get and understand the

reference but also like a house code is

a house code from a brand so I'm not

really trying to like give out crystal

flowers Here There and Everywhere just

cuz like you did a reference that kind

of my big issue with the theme Here is

like okay great you did flowers okay you

did the house

code I need it to be a little bit more

exciting go to everybody else if you

want people that just are happy and clap

that's not me that's not why you're here

that's not why I clicked on this video

listen the seams great the suit fits

well I love the hat I like that bad

bunny sort of dedicates himself usually

to an experience he goes for it I love a

headpiece to begin with I like the

glasses I like the fact that he's

wearing those furry Tabby boots that

look like horse Hooves and I'm pretty

positive John Gana was playing on the

idea that everybody is like you're

wearing Hooves but the thing that I

would say sort of ties into everything

in terms of the garden of time is the

flowers that bad bunny is holding they

are fabric flowers it's a bouquet people

were saying that he was referencing the

count from JG Ballard's The Garden of

time story and like maybe he is I don't

really necessarily see this as like

total late 19th century dress he tried

I'm not super satisfied but like there's

a flower so okay next up we have Ben

Simmons and he is wearing Tom Brown I

believe that this is a custom look or

it's like a mish mash of a few different

Tom Brown pieces based on the most

recent collection and the thing that I

really love about this look is we have

time and we have a reference to a garden

is it a little bit simple a little bit

inyour face because he's wearing this

black blazer black coat over top a black

pant in this sort of ripped up frayed

Tweed sure but there is a sort of green

embroidered white rose that meanders up

the coat and then he is carrying a

little Tom Brown briefcase that has a

big clock on it Garden time easy listen

Ben is a basketball player I don't

expect him to like turn out wow crazy

but I do think that he's obviously

lending himself to the theme and I

respect that and I was very happy to see

it next up we have cardi B and she is

wearing wind doen this is a custom look

and it's this gigantic tulle dress that

is way too big and really pisses me off

as I was watching the live stream of the

carpet cardi was kind of like at the end

and she pulled up in this gigantic tool

skirt that is very large but the issue

is I was waiting for her to do something

with it and all she did was stand there

I kind of thought at a certain point

like it was going to do something it was

going to I don't know deterior it going

to fly away no it's just like a gigantic

tool skirt that is way way way way way

more un utilitarian than I can care for

listen like the era of the gigantic tool

skirt it had its moment it's a little p

right now you know what I mean give it 5

years it might have a different

conversation but like right now you pull

up in this gigantic thing you're like oh

look at me no I in fact don't want to

look at you cuz there's nothing really

there there's no Garden there's no time

except a waste of time I literally sat

there and said oh what is she going to

do nothing she's going to do nothing

she's going to stand there waste of

goddamn time that's not the theme but

you're on it next next up we have Khloe

seveni and she is wearing doara ficu and

Anna cowry if you don't know Ana cowry

is the jewelry brand and that's the

beautiful big old necklace that she has

on her neck but Khloe s understood the

theme I would say better than anybody

else at least in terms of the Sleeping

Beauties element maybe not the garden of

time per se but Sleeping Beauties

understanding the exhibit which is the

important part the dress code is kind of

like to me it's not secondary but if you

are understanding what the exhibit is

really about like you more on theme than

being actually on theme cuz you care

about fashion you like fashion you want

to enjoy and you want to express

yourself that's great now the thing is

when we're looking in the actual exhibit

cuz I was there this morning it was

really beautiful it was really wonderful

I really enjoyed it there were a bunch

of dresses that obviously stood up and

looked great and were from all different

decades and periods and centuries but

there were a bunch of dresses that were

laid flat and that's because they are so

fragile that they literally could not be

stood up because it could destroy the

dress further when we look at the front

of this beautiful doind theu dress this

looks like the way that a lot of the

backs of these dresses would look if you

were to open them up they're tattered

and they're torn they're worn they're

sort of pulled they're frayed they're

falling apart they look like the actual

18th century dresses that are sitting in

those boxes it feels like it's a late

19th century aesthetic we see a corset

underneath this idea of the back of the

dress being the front and exposing the

corset in this way also is really lovely

it's really sweet as we move down we can

also see that there's all little

embroideries of hair that look like

little flowers and bows and things like

that that's great Garden I'm in it

flower made out of hair sure wonderful

you can find all the references to the

fact that hair has been used so many

times I mean Merkin we get into the high

low skirt we can also see that The Fray

and the pett coat and all that like she

just gets it she understands it and I

love her I am a Chloe 7 Stan I'm

obsessed a fashioned girl we respect you

we honor you we are grateful for you I

don't know people are going to be like

it's a tatter torn up dress like that

looks hideous that's fine you don't have

to get it it's okay but like it's on

theme see this little hole in my

Balenciaga chore that's on theme cuz

there's a bunch of holes and tears and

tears and all those things sitting on

those dresses in the exhibit so get over

it next up we have Chris Hemsworth and

we have Elsa I know that Chris

Hemsworth is a co-host and I also knew

that going into this that Chris

Hemsworth was in fact going to

definitely not deliver whatsoever and he

accomplished the goal and to that I say

the only person that I should blame is

me because I had a higher expectation

could look at Chris Hemsworth

three-piece suit in cream and say oh wow

Chris Hemsworth is wearing the color of

what some Fabrics will turn to when

they're originally white as they Decay

over time but I know that there is no

way in God's green earth that Chris

Hemsworth ever thought of that and if he

did Chris I apologize but no offense

babe you're not as for Elsa she's there

and that's lovely for her I'm so happy

he's wearing a boot so like great is he

a disappointment 1 million poor scent

why did they pick him to be a co-host I

really don't understand maybe he's nice

to look at in real life overall gross

hate no it's just like a disappointment

like it's sad depressing and I'm just

like why won't you have a good time why

won't you go for it why won't you

experiment so at least if you're going

to sign on to do it like do a Bad Bunny

and just do it we're all going to think

oh wow Thor at a later Point like you

can go back to being straight masculine

man just like for one night be a little

exciting maybe wear a floral I don't

know babe try it's not that hard next up

we have Cynthia arivo who is wearing Tom

Brown this is a custom look and it's

obviously a cropped suit jacket and

shirt with a tie as as well and a

high-waisted skirt that I believe flows

into multiple sort of panels it's

covered in Black sequins and also these

little rose petals those are not real

rose petals although I thought they were

and I kind of wish that they were I

think that was a fun element of the

exhibit is this idea of things decaying

over time like there's even a Lou jacket

that partially made out of grass and

like as the exhibit goes on it will die

did not see a singular designer that got

into this idea of like the fabric or the

material or the

decaying in front of our eyes to really

look at what we're supposed to be

looking at in the exhibit kind of

disappointed I don't want to say it

looks pretty I don't really love the

look in total what I will say is the

rose petals obviously Garden Of Time

yada yada what is more interesting to me

in terms of the exhibit is the fact that

there are a bunch of different funnily

enough bugs and insects all over this

jacket there's butterflies it looks like

Ms it looks like cockroaches bees

spiders all of these animals that not

all eat fabrics and materials over time

but some of those actually do moths eat

them cockroaches yada yada there also

was a whole section in the actual

exhibit that did focus on insects and

how insects have become a applique an

embroidery something to be a part of the

fashion system in the way that we look

at Fashion we could talk about the fact

that in India specifically there were

embroideries that depicted insects and

then as colonization came around there

was this whole idea of taking that and

then sort of bringing it to the west and

making it an oat cure staple for a while

so this idea of insects being part of

the look and also a part of the exhibit

do sort of play in I'll also say like

Tom Brown and Andrew Bolton who's a

creator of the Met are Partners so like

he has a little bit of a head start

before everybody else but it is

technically on them next up we have dine

Joy Randolph Oscar winning actress might

I have and she is wearing custom Gap now

I know that's really crazy but if you

did not know Zach Posen who we all know

who we all love is actually the creative

director now of Gap I'm very happy that

Zach has come back to the mealla years

without Zach doing mdala very sad and

depressing to me and he dressed dine I

love the dress it was also really nice

to like hear her talk about the dress

and be like I love this like he

understands it normally I have to like

give notes to designers about what I

think will work and what I think won't

for my body and she's like no no I'm

good and I was like ion this full look

obviously full of beautiful seams I love

the neckline I love the big sleeves I

also love this skirt I know or I believe

that this skirt is actually detachable

the line work obviously inspired by the

late Charles James who is the

inspiration to Zach and was one of the

great designers of the 20th century but

Charles James was also very much so

inspired by the 19th century so Garden

time part we can 100% see referencing

yada yada check okay cool what I will

say I was a little disappointed in is

that the denim used was using like Gap

genan Den denim I wish though that they

had found vintage pairs of Gap jeans and

GAP Denim and had used that I think that

would have been cooler I think it would

have sort of brought in this idea of
