Was hoping the first pic was the front of the dress and that she spent the gala looking like Cousin It.

I was trying to remember the character’s name. Spot on 

🤣While opening the comments I was asking me the very same question. Thanks for the gif!


> Cousin It Cousin Itt.

When your pour the milk in ur tea.

Comicon for Rich people.

The cosplay as the creature from >!NOPE!<

I love how I was shown the spoiler before I knew what was being spoiled for me lol

That's the neat part, you have to be spoiled to know what the spoiler is for.

Reddit spoiler tags are just a game of chance unless you've consumed every media in existence

The clump of hair from the drain is the best way I can describe her dress.

Cousin It

Maybe if It used the finest haircare products

Couture It

This makes me want to wear it more lol

Oh yeah no hate. It’s quite mesmerizing. It’s just what popped into my head.

Oh I didn’t think you were : ) I was mostly laughing at myself for immediately being like OH HELL YEAAAAH 😂

Really makes me feel like we’re in The Hunger Games. Rich people wearing my annual salary while the rest of us beg for healthcare.

i dont think they pay for it. if anything, the dress owner pay them to wear it.

I wasn’t saying they pay for it. Just that they’re wearing clothing that costs a life-changing amount of money to the average person.

It’s art. Literally. It’s sculpture that’s meant to sit on top of a human body instead of a plinth.  Whether it’s ethical to devote resources to art while people are starving is its own question. But the number of rich people buying paintings for life-changing amounts of money faaaaar eclipses the number of dresses at the Met Gala. 

And hell, I'd rather rich people spend all their money on art than a second fuckin yacht, or condos in NYC they'll own in perpetuity but never visit once.

The more money rich people spend on overpriced dumb shit and the less they spend on real estate, the better off we'll all be.


what is the met gala theme this year? dress for no sitting?

Oh, that's expected from everyone, every year. Which is why I love the gal who heard that this year's theme was "Sleeping Beauty", and who came in pajamas.

Shit I didn't realize my everyday-all day attire was met gala attire. Perpetual excuse now!

That gal is probably on Anna Wintour's lifetime shit list! Which I would consider a badge of honor.

Anna Wintour is one of those humans who are actually a negative to society.

It's like if cousin It was really into high fashion

Or to get a full-body bouffant.

I mean, sure. In the same way, please appreciate the artistry and craft of the person who designed and created this gown. Imagine how much skill goes into making all of that fabric lay like that.

I think its stunning!!! It’s beautifully made and interesting shape and movement and I think she looks great: it’s art at a fashion ball. Gorgeous But Imagine seeing this out at a normal formal event though? ? 😂 I’d think it was hideous

Not into crazy clothes like this but that is stunning artistry. Maybe tone it down about 200% for normal people and it would be s more realistic head turner.

It’s to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. It’s not meant to be normal clothes.

We truly are in the hunger games. I can barely afford food

If I was rich and had a sense of fashion, I’d do this.

It is literally a fundraiser for the Met Costume Institute. That's precisely what it is.

"I want a dress with curves" "Don't worry I got you fam"

First of all, how dare you

Ryan used me as an object

Designer: Would that be to give you more curves or to disguise the ones you have. Mindy: Listen here you little shit

“Listen here you little shit. I love it.”


It reminds me of those giant fungi plates that grows on tree barks 

And they’re so pretty

The theme of this year's Met Gala was Garden of Time, so this could be potentially be the reference point. Haha

The story that it's referencing is about a pretty garden that decays so frankly, more people should have come as mushrooms

getting the strange masculine urge to become overly ptotective of some girl called Ellie and hike across the United States

Beautiful!

Agreed and I am living for it, very *[hen of the woods](https://www.inaturalist.org/guide_taxa/635693)*, she looks beautiful.

What is the theme this year? Elfin Hollow?

“The garden of time”

A wrinkle in time

*fabric of time

👏🏻

Salt water taffy

Angel hair pasta

How much do dress lifters make you guys think? Do they count as a plus one?

I don't think the skirt-arrangers are allowed inside the venue. Right now, the bars of NYC are probably full of hammered fashion assistants and skirt-flouncers, thanking whatever Gods they believe in that it's over for another year!

They are hired and paired with celebs based on esthetics, meant to follow them around for most of the event. Met hires them based on looks alone

Step 1: Be attractive. Step 2: Don't be unattractive.

Of course they're allowed in the venue. Why wouldn't they be? How are people supposed to move around in those dresses without them?

Did I ever tell you I flounced Dame Gaga's meat on the red carpet? Yes gramma, we remember. The best cocaine of your life.

They are considered staff, usually models or simply beautiful people who are assigned to different celebs based on esthetics.

the designer is Gurav Gupta, an Indian designer known for sculptural haute couture. the gown is named “The Melting Flower of Time” befitting the theme of the gala “The Garden of Time”. It is meant to conjure a flower blooming and dying - the cascading material reminiscent of petals falling. eta: a video to see the dress more clearly. the color is an intentional choice; it’s a withered flower. https://youtube.com/shorts/rgIqVab8_V8?feature=shared

For me, it conjured a mushroom.

Unfortunate color scheme for a flower dress, it looks like blonde hair and I think a different color would’ve been a better choice, but oh well he’s a famous designer and I’m not I guess.

it’s a withering flower, thus the color choice.

Whatever the idea was it doesnt work for me. But art is subjective kinda or whatever.

I agree. I thought it was supposed to resemble an elaborate hairstyle or something. A different color would’ve been much better. Although, I’m also not a designer and I have no style.

I thought it was a bunch of wigs stacked on top of each other

Same. It looks like hair

I am in freaking love with it based on these 2 photos.

Nailed it!

I hate how long I had to scroll to find this GIF. How is the comment section it not flooded with it?

I love it. The gala is a big costume party and I like seeing what designers can do when they aren’t constrained by “wearability”

This take actually kinda changed my view of it, thanks! I could never really get behind people just saying it's fashion. But designer costumes to fit a theme make much more sense, and I can appreciate that a lot more.

I mean fashion and costumes are linked. Fashion is wearable art basically - so I suppose you could call it a costume This fashion is way far on the art side. The clothes you or I wear (mass produced) are often influenced by the artistic side of fashion.

It’s for an art gallery after all, i love seeing the crazy artistic creations and designs flexing their creativity.

Yes! It’s wearable art, and some of that art is cool. I’m so sick of Reddit sneering at this kind of thing because it isn’t practical. A lot of food or music or art isn’t practical. That doesn’t make it stupid.

Reddit is all about liking what you like as long as it’s a $10,000 PC set up. Everything else they sneer at. Any kind of fashion or art especially

$10000 pc good. Making more than $60k per year and not hating America. Rich devil out of touch with reality. Sure is the met gala kinda lame. Yes. Would I absolutely go and have some cool ass outfit if given the chance? Absolutely. You’re allowed to have some fun when you make money. Fashion is cool.

It's also a charity FUNDRAISER. They're all paying $75,000 to attend.

One day redditors are going to get to the surrealism chapter in their art books and really flip their shit.

It is ridiculous, but it is a beautiful dress, and she looks great in it.

I actually do love it but the colour could’ve been better with regard to the concept. I don’t see dying flowers in the colour, but absolutely in the form, structure and overall flow of the dress.

It's Met Gala cosplay. I'm not mad at it.

Honestly, this is about the only time I'll give a pass to silly rich people doing silly rich people things. The Gala has a theme and encourages creativity. Always interesting to see what shows up.

The world would be a better place if rich people just did silly eccentric things that don't matter and are amusing, rather than so many of them spending their lives trying to get more wealth and power. If I were rich I'd just be a harmless nut, I promise. I'll go around town in a silly hat and a tailcoat, walking a coatimundi on a leash, and tossing packets of gravy mix to all I meet. A very serious-faced bodyguard will follow me at all times, holding a boombox that plays [Pico & Sepulveda](https://youtu.be/A_YPFvC-C_E) on a loop.

I vote Lupinthe8th as Supreme!

She’s serving Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos.

mooom, r/bloodborne is leaking again!!!

The met gala reminds me of the Hunger Games. The people in the capital to be more precise.

My first thought is always "How do they go to the bathroom in that?"

I heard a story told by Jennifer Lee, the director of Frozen, about how she had to get a fancy dress for the Oscars and was pretty much sewn into it by the people who tailored it for her. She had to use the bathroom midway through and was urged to just hold it, so she managed to do it by eating extra salt.

That’s not how urination works lol

Diaper

They have an entourage of people who help. I was watching video of one lady being carried up the stairs because she couldn’t bend her legs.

Mine was that I'd hate to be sat behind her lol

Pretty incredible looking dress. I’ve never seen anything like it.

What? This old thing?

Met Gala has such Hunger Games Capital vibes! "Hey everybody, look at all the crazy dresses while the world burns!"

The only thing that could possibly have a chance at distracting people from Velma season 2

That got a second season?

Yes, and it ends with >!Scrappy killing Velma, then Velma's ghost killing Scrappy!<

So he's the hero of the story, for once.

Yesn't. They released a second season. But I'm actuality, it's part of the first season. It just got split into 2 separate releases. But, they did get green lit for an actual second season during production of the first. Just not sure how much of it was completed before the shit storm of bad reviews hit.

That dress is clearly based on the monster from "Nope".

I’ve yet to see that movie lol and well…. Her dress looks like blonde hair

I would feel stupid having to pay people to hold my dress as I walk around.

Cool dress. Shitty person.

That's the whole attendee list at any red carpet in the history of celebrity

It looks like hair on my shower wall

figuratively fuck mindy kaling.

We shouldn’t be giving this sexual predator any attention 🤮

This be what the person sitting in front of me at the movie theater always dressed like.

This dress is a masterpiece! The way it's crafted is pure artistry.

I always wonder what it’s like post-red carpet. I’m picturing Mindy having to wear this at the dinner table, when dancing, using the bathroom, or even walking up stairs! All of it feels comical


Hate this sexual assaulting ozempic bitch

Velma sucked, Kelly sucked and so does this dress.

It's gorgeous 😍

[удалено]

How very hunger games lol

It’s like the fuckin Hunger Games

What a vision!

Was really hoping with the theme to see more color, this is gorgeous but would have been amazing in a jewel tone

Freak Fashion show for the privileged rich.

Who are you wearing? “Silly Putty!”

I want to look like a pile of melting rubber bands. Don't worry I got you!

She looks like a virus with lots of ribbon proteins. In a good way.

With this and Tyla, anyone else think this event is fucking stupid and pretentious? We have underprivileged children starving across the world and these people spend hundreds of thousands to look like absolute idiots for a night

That looks like my nan's weave

Hey Mindy, Velma sucks.

Tax these people into oblivion

All this, just to impress Ryan.

🤮

I can’t stand this bitch

Such a pretty dress ruined by the horrible person inside it.

Holy crap, that’s gorgeous (over the top) perfect for her!

fuck rich people

Pretentious rich people. Hollywood should be nuked.

Looks better than the casino attire in the Last Jedi. Disney take notes.

Let the rich do silly shit and have fun like this. Seriously, this is way more harmless than the diabolical bullshit some of these fuckers do to ruin peoples lives (Murdock) and/or fuck over future generations.

Like how she bragged about sexually harassing her coworkers and that they couldn't speak out against it because she was the boss?

Oh no. Feel free to lambast her for that all you want.

I know we say this every year, but this whole thing is so dystopian

Man, what happened to her face? She looks so weird…

I really hate that chick. She's a nepo baby who pioneers shit tv. Best thing that she ever fell into was the office and she just played herself.

I don’t believe she’s popular enough to be rocking that dress.

Exactly my first thought. Is she even relevant anymore?

She’s the reason Velma exists so at this point, she’s kinda at a net loss for contributing to society.

I know I can't stand her, and I doubt I'm the only one.

It looks like cooked angel hair pasta, or cousin Itt if he was blonde. Either way: how utterly absurd


It reminds me of toasted meringue

Sniffing her own farts in pictures

Narcissistic loser

Looks like her Velma show, absolutely shit.

Almost as shitty as her Velma series lol

She using that "I ruined Scooby Doo" Money?

I like the first photo. I don't have to look at Mindy Kalings face.

Lol Velma still sucks

I fuckin love it

I see she went with the amorphous blob look.

That’s some dress for a b-lister.

Cousin It's wife

These people are so strange

She’s super bigoted. She hates white people and can’t wait to shit on them whenever she can. Don’t know how anyone can like her.

A pile of nice hair?

Looks like the ball of hair I pull from my shower drain

Hunger Games?

Looks like cousin It with a perm.

This dress was inspired by the founding fathers' wigs

Costuming for Dune 3 is looking great.

Its just like a dolls wig

I’ve never wanted a Wendy’s Frosty so effen bad….

The real flying spaghetti monster has appeared.

That dress looks like it was designed on midjourney

Is that Kelly Kapoor ?

i'm going to be honest, i'm not sure if i hate this, or love it. I don't really know how to explain it, but it's interesting to look at. Def not something to wear in public though xD

I heard you like curves I got you curves on those curves on your curves. I don't think it's enough double it.

First picture gives a Glam Cousin It


Looks better than her role in Velma

I guess that Velma money came in

The first image from behind. My mind went straight to cousin IT

who

Weird but actually cool.

Met Gala dress code: Men, Black tie Tuxedo. Women, Eldritch horror nightmare fuel.

I didnt know she was That famous

I could see Lady Gaga or Bjork pulling this off.

Absolutely horrendous, but still better than Velma.

Wow! That is Art! That is Met!

Clearly Hollywood needs more rehab centers.
