1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,840 Hi everyone. Welcome to Mini Scroll, the 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,240 daily Internet culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,480 from social media, the creator economy and the digital space. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Every Monday through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner, 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,160 the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World. 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,920 Welcome to Mini Scroll everyone. This new setup, I'm still 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,280 getting used to it very much so as you can tell my mini scroll 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,880 sign behind me is currently sitting on 2 candles. 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,040 Really just trying to figure it out. 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,600 It's a bit makeshift right now, but we're getting there. 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,840 So today I am bringing you the Met Gala recap. 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,280 Let's see if we can do this in a mini scroll sized episode. 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,360 I am not confident because I love to waffle and there is so 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,560 much to talk about, so many looks to go through. 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,800 But let's get into it. So every year on the first 16 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Monday of May, Hollywood's elite rushed to the Metropolitan 17 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,840 Museum of Art for Fashion's biggest night out AKA the Met 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,280 Gala. Hosting this year's affair was 19 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,040 Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez and Zendaya. 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,400 As ambassadors of the event, they were responsible for 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240 curating the aesthetics of the night and embracing the theme. 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,680 As Vogue notes quote, the role of a Co chair also expands into 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000 the guest list the food, the decor, and the general feel of 24 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,480 the evening. While Internet users often treat 25 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,400 the Met Gala as a fashion show, it is an annual fundraiser event 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,080 for the Anna Wintour Costume Center at the New York City's 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,200 Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute. 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,280 That is a serious mouthful. That said, this year Soiree 29 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,360 celebrated the opening of a new exhibit, Sleeping Beauty's 30 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Reawakening Fashion quote. The forthcoming show has not to 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,920 do with the Brothers Grimm or Disney, but rather the 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080 celebration of clothing and fashion so fragile that it can't 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,160 ever be worn again, Lila Ramsey writes. 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,240 For Vogue, the exhibition was paired with a specific dress 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,120 code. This year, the theme was The 36 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,600 Garden of Time, inspired by a short story by JG Ballard 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,199 published in 1962. For those unfamiliar with 38 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,320 Ballard's work, the story follows Count Axel and his wife 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,840 as an unruly mob draws closer to the couple's tranquil villa. 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200 Ultimately, the story is a dystopian take on modern entity, 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,560 pointing to the adverse effects of opulence, consumption and 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040 destruction. Quote The story ends with the 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,200 unthinking mob descending onto the villa, now a derelict 44 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,360 property with a neglected garden. 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920 Boiled down, the dress code as well as the exhibition is about 46 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,880 fleeting beauty. OK, so with that in mind, I'm 47 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480 going to go through some of the looks. 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,720 This is not a comprehensive list at all. 49 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680 I just had to pick and choose. And there are some key 50 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,040 celebrities and some key looks that I just did not have the 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,040 ability to put into these notes. I just didn't have time or I 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,560 just didn't really care about them, you know? 53 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Like, I wanted to pick the ones that at least kind of gave me 54 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880 something, whether I liked it, whether I didn't like it. 55 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720 First off the bat, I wanted to say there was so much like 56 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,160 ethereal fantasy going on, which I really like. 57 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,600 I love that kind of aesthetic. But when it came to like the 58 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Garden of Time, people really embraced garden and not so much 59 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,360 time. Annabelle was saying before 60 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,520 there was such a missed opportunity for someone to come 61 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,720 with like a million watches, like all up their sleeves or you 62 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,600 know, anything that was like more signifying of time. 63 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,360 I know that Tyler did have that hourglass purse which was so 64 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,480 sick, but other than that, like there wasn't a ton of, like time 65 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960 imagery going on. And I feel like that was 66 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,880 absolutely a missed opportunity. Lots of garden. 67 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,400 OK, so first up, Emma Chamberlain. 68 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,480 She was wearing Jean Paul Gaultier and I really liked her 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,920 look. She felt very like gothic garden 70 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360 fairy. I loved how ethereal and Drapey 71 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880 it all was, but that was all black and Lacy. 72 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,080 I loved it. I actually one of my favorite 73 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,400 looks of the night. Her makeup was amazing, that 74 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,920 Smokey eye. I find her makeup, the Mechala 75 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,320 is always so stunning, and I don't know if that's just 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520 because we don't see Emma and makeup very often. 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,480 I loved it. The only thing, there's one 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,800 little thing that I just immediately clocked and I could 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560 not Unsee. Her foundation didn't quite 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240 match her body. It didn't quite match, just 81 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,200 marginally, but I could not Unsee it. 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,080 But I loved that she embraced her natural skin tone like she 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,240 didn't have a spray tan. And actually, a lot of the 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,640 attendees really rocked like kind of a paler skin look, like 85 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480 they're natural skin. And I loved that. 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 OK, the next one that I wanted to talk about is Madeleine 87 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Klein. So she was wearing Tommy 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:51,400 Hilfiger. I hated this dress. 89 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,960 It looked like it didn't fit. First of all, I thought it was a 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,560 really bad color on her. It reminded me of like a 91 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:06,760 student, like a fashion student's first draft at what GJ 92 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,840 had Jujit, Jujit Hadid, Gigi Hadid's dress actually was, and 93 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:15,360 I'm going to talk about Gigi's in a bit, but that's what it 94 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,200 reminded me of. It felt like unfinished. 95 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,040 It felt like it was trying to do something that it just wasn't 96 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560 quite achieving. And I really liked her makeup. 97 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,160 I love the white eyeliner, white eyeshadow. 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,080 I loved her makeup, but it felt like her makeup, her hair and 99 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,360 the dress they all belonged to, different looks like it wasn't 100 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,240 cohesive at all and it just felt very disjointed and off base. 101 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,600 And it was very upsetting to me because I love Madeline Klein 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240 and I feel like she usually kind of shows out for this kind of 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,560 stuff. She's always a bit understated. 104 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,280 She's never like the most costumey on at the Met Gala or 105 00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,400 on any red carpet, but she always, I feel like, does pretty 106 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,640 well and this was just a huge miss for me. 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,800 So next we have Zendaya. She was wearing Mason Margiela's 108 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,600 Jean Galliano, and this was such a powerful look. 109 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,120 Like, even look aside, anytime Zendaya shows up on a red 110 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520 carpet, I'm like, Oh yeah, you were born to be famous. 111 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,120 The star power that just oozes out of her, it like, radiates 112 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,560 off of her, like she has fame. You know that girl in TikTok 113 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,240 that talks about how fame is like a resource, Like Zendaya 114 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,280 has that resource more than fucking anybody in the world. 115 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:38,320 It's actually unreal to watch her do a photo shoot on the red 116 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680 carpet, do interviews. Like it's it's unreal. 117 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,640 Like she was meant to be famous. So anything she wears or does, 118 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,480 even if it's like the ugliest thing ever, she just absolutely 119 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,520 slays because she's just like amazing in her element in these 120 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,080 moments. I did love the vibe and like her 121 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,080 makeup was so sick. I didn't quite love the stripes 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,960 at the bottom. I just like fucking hate 123 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,000 stripes. Like there's just something 124 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,800 about stripes that like, feel really juvenile and like 125 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,680 clownish to me. So I really did not like the 126 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600 stripes. I felt like it kind of cheapened 127 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 the look a bit. And then she had a second look, 128 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 like after the red carpet kind of finished, maybe 30-40 minutes 129 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,200 later she came back out and she was wearing this very like Pride 130 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,600 and Prejudice, like Jet Black dress, which I really liked. 131 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,640 But she was also wearing this hat. 132 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,400 And I don't know if this was on purpose, but it looked like a 133 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,920 giant fish was on her head, filled with flowers. 134 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,680 And I don't know if it was supposed to be like a fish or if 135 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,320 that's just what it ended up looking like. 136 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,200 But to me, all I could see was that she was wearing a fish on 137 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,600 her head. Next, Ariana Grande, she was 138 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,120 wearing lueve. I think that's how you say it. 139 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,040 I've seen some people call it low, but I think it's lueve. 140 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,400 So this look, to me, it was unsurprising. 141 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,600 I feel like it looks like everything that Ariana Grande 142 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,840 has been wearing in this era of her career since she, you know, 143 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,080 bleached her hair and is going for like a Manic Pixie Dream 144 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Girl. And we've seen this makeup look 145 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:13,920 on her before, in my opinion. Like, she had these, I don't 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280 know, I guess they were supposed to be like little wings, like 147 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,280 almost like fairy wings, kind of like off her eyes. 148 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,920 And it just reminded me of so many of the makeup looks we've 149 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,400 seen kind of in this era. Like I said, her dress had this. 150 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,880 I mean, I loved the dress, like it was a beautiful look. 151 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,200 It was just unsurprising and uninspired in my opinion. 152 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,320 I liked how it had this dropped waist kind of toga inspired 153 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,120 skirt that we saw a little bit of. 154 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,240 We saw a little bit of like this toga vibe going on on the red 155 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,440 carpet. But yeah, all together, 156 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,760 obviously. Beautiful look. 157 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,840 I think she looked like healthy and glowing. 158 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,760 She looked the best. She's looked in a really long 159 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,840 time in my opinion on this red carpet, but we have seen this 160 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,280 from her many times before, in my opinion, over the last couple 161 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,640 of years. OK, Gigi Hadid obsessed, 162 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 obsessed. OK, so she was wearing Tom Brown 163 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,840 and it was so Tom Brown. Like, it was so obvious. 164 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,840 I'm not even a fashion girly. And I was like, that's got to be 165 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,040 Tom Brown. I loved this. 166 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,000 I could not stop looking at it. And I have no idea if that's 167 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,800 like a popular opinion or not. I haven't really seen anyone 168 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,200 talking about Gigi's look, but I freaking loved it. 169 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320 I thought it was So it was exactly. 170 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040 In my opinion, it wasn't necessarily Gigi, but it was 171 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,320 very Tom Brown. It was exactly how like I would 172 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,200 picture that designer interpreting this theme the way 173 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840 that I perceived it. It was like, you know, Gigi 174 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,800 shedding this kind of more masculine energy and emerging as 175 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,880 this, you know, beautiful feminine flower. 176 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,600 And it was just the symbolism was so spot on. 177 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000 Like, I mean I I don't even know if you could call it symbolism, 178 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000 like it was just like handed to us on a plate. 179 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360 But I loved it. Like, I loved looking at her 180 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,760 dress. It was so interesting to look 181 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,480 at. And that's what I want from the 182 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,800 Met Gala, right? Like, it doesn't necessarily 183 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,280 need to be the most beautiful thing. 184 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,200 It doesn't need to necessarily be like the most fashion forward 185 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,560 thing. I just want it to be cool to 186 00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,880 look at. And that for me, like Gigi's 187 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,560 look for me was that someone else I loved looking at was Lil 188 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,640 Nas X. He was wearing Lore and he had 189 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,520 50,000 Swarovski crystals all over this white suit and he had 190 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,280 these sick nails like honestly, OK, this is gonna sound so 191 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,000 unhinge, but they did remind me of Trisha Paytas's nails when 192 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,200 she used to get like Bejeweled nails all the time. 193 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,280 When she first started ASMR like 8 years ago, they did kind of 194 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,480 remind me of Trisha Paytas's nails, but loved them. 195 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,400 Very cool. I don't know if this was 196 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,560 necessarily on theme, but I thought it was so sick to look 197 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:46,880 at. It was so interesting. 198 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,880 And he did have the flower, like he had a flower brooch thing. 199 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,120 And I don't know, it was sick. OK, Dua Lipa, I hate to say it. 200 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,200 So she was in Marc Jacobs. But I really did not like this. 201 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:05,360 Somehow this look was both not boring at all and like the most 202 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,760 boring thing that I've seen on the red carpet. 203 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,080 Like if you asked me to describe what Dua Lipa wore on the red 204 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120 carpet, even though I have literally looked at so many 205 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,880 photos of the Michaela in preparation for this episode, I, 206 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,320 you know, wrote this. I put her photo in. 207 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,720 I couldn't even tell you what she wore. 208 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,280 Like it was so not memorable and I don't quite know why. 209 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,680 And I know year after year we watch celebrities come on the 210 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:32,240 Met Gala red carpet and we're like, that is not on theme, but 211 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,520 I like it anyways or whatever. For me, being on theme is so 212 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,520 important to the Met Gala. Like that's one of the major 213 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,560 things that I look at. If it's interesting to look at 214 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,680 and if it's on theme, those two things I care about a lot. 215 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:48,520 And if it's not like, so obviously on theme, like if I'm 216 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760 having a hard time understanding if it's on theme, then to me 217 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,840 it's not on theme. So it could be on theme, but for 218 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,400 me it's not. Next we have Kylie Jenner. 219 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,080 She was wearing Oscar de la Renta. 220 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,640 And I mean, this was incredibly boring. 221 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,360 I know it was based off of like a statue, but wow, this was so 222 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,440 boring. The only thing that I think we 223 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,120 haven't really seen Kylie do that she did in this look was 224 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,800 the cone bra. But this literally just looks 225 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,880 like every really chic, elegant look that we've seen Kylie do on 226 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,600 a red carpet. I don't know, we've seen it 100 227 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600 times before. The problem with Kylie and also 228 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,120 Kendall, and actually I would also argue Khloe Kardashian, but 229 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,000 Khloe wasn't at the red carpet at the Met Gala. 230 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,800 I'll talk about Kendall in a second, But the problem is that 231 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,680 they care the most about looking hot, and I think that impacts 232 00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:38,960 the looks that they actually could pull off. 233 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,240 And when it comes to Kylie, it's so disappointing because we've 234 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,360 seen Kylie let her guard down and like, rough it up and be 235 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,600 like, quote UN quote, like ugly in a photo shoot. 236 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,880 Like, you know what I mean? Like really be like artistic and 237 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,680 avant-garde and really cool, like this edgy grittiness. 238 00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,440 We've seen that from her in photo shoots before and in her 239 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,120 modeling. But anytime she steps out in 240 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 public or does a red carpet or does a Fashion Week or whatever, 241 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,240 she cannot let her guard down. We never see that energy from 242 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800 her. She has to put this guard right 243 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,560 back up where she's just like this stonewalled hot Kardashian. 244 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,880 And it's such a shame because she has so much potential. 245 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,400 Like we've seen the modeling shots. 246 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,040 She should have been the model in the family. 247 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,960 OK, Speaking of Kendall, she's wearing Shivanshi and same thing 248 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,240 as I said with Kylie, just too much of A guard up, you know, 249 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,040 her whole priority seems to always just being like looking 250 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,840 hot in chic. And she did. 251 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040 She looked like a really hot brunette legless. 252 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,360 She really went for that like elf vibe. 253 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,120 It was a little bit more costume than I think we've seen her in 254 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,480 recent years, which I appreciate because this is like literally 255 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,240 the Costume Institute, but, you know, still pretty boring. 256 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,200 Someone else who went elf vibes was Carol G went as, like an 257 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,000 actual elf with, like, elf prosthetic ears, which actually 258 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,840 appreciated. Like, if you're going to go for 259 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,600 a vibe, like, go for a vibe like if you're going to go for like, 260 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,360 this costume, just wear the fucking costume. 261 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,600 And yeah, she looked exactly like, legless. 262 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,080 So loved it. All right, Kim Kardashian. 263 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,200 She was wearing Mason Margiela by John Galliano. 264 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,040 I actually loved this. I loved the dress. 265 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,320 Oh my God, I loved the dress. If you are going to do like 266 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,920 ethereal garden vibes, this is how I want it to be. 267 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,560 I feel like we saw a lot of dresses like Karlie Kloss's 268 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,160 comes to mind. I'm not going to talk about her 269 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,800 because I found it quite boring, but her dress for the red carpet 270 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160 comes to mind where everybody kind of did. 271 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320 If you're if they're going to go for like full on florals, they 272 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,160 did what she did, which is kind of like sparkly flowers all over 273 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,920 on like a mash or like nude dress. 274 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,920 So it looks like you're naked but you're wearing flowers. 275 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,640 Like everybody went for that vibe. 276 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,240 And this was such a unique take on it because it was like 277 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,280 similar, but it was like silver and just, I don't know, just the 278 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,560 way it was executed. I don't know the right words 279 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,960 because I'm not a fashion girly, but it was perfection. 280 00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:03,440 I fucking loved the dress. And I know the shawl sweater 281 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,080 thing was kind of controversial, but I didn't mind it. 282 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,280 Like I thought it made the look really interesting and it didn't 283 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,040 take away from it. I think sometimes when 284 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,320 celebrities add things to their looks, like this, like costumey 285 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,160 things to their looks, it can take away from the dress. 286 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,800 I don't think it did that at all. 287 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,120 I don't think it necessarily needed the shawl, but I 288 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,920 understood where the vision was, I think. 289 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600 I think. But everyone of course is 290 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,440 talking about Kim's waist because it is literally this 291 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,840 big, literally the smallest waist that we've ever seen. 292 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,720 I mean, that's always her thing, OK, right. 293 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,080 So she always makes a body part, part of her outfits or 294 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,640 aesthetic. So for years it was her butt, 295 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,800 and now it is her waist and her arms. 296 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,280 And her obsession with her tiny waist started at the Met Gala, 297 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,800 if you guys remember when she wore that dress, I don't 298 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 remember. Was it also the same designer? 299 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,360 I don't remember who designed it, but it was that dress where 300 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120 she was, like dripping. Like it looked like she was 301 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360 dripping in water and Kanye was there as well. 302 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,360 And she had like, that slicked wet black hair. 303 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,840 So good. I loved that look. 304 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,240 So yes, that was, I believe the beginning of her obsession with 305 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,840 her tiny little waist and everybody's like, did she get 306 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120 ribs removed? How is she doing this? 307 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,280 I think we forget how tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny Kim 308 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,520 Kardashian is. Like she's very curvy. 309 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,440 So she looks I think like bigger than she actually is on our 310 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,760 screens. But she herself, she's like 5 311 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,200 foot, like she is like a tiny little Polly pocket. 312 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,200 And her hip to waist ratio has always been quite extreme. 313 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,120 And I think over the years with her BBLS and things like that, 314 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,880 you know, that's only become more exaggerated. 315 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,080 So I do believe this is her real waist and it is wild because 316 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,720 it's so small. But she is so small. 317 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200 Like she is like a tiny person. I think if you saw her in 318 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,000 person, you would be shocked at how tiny she actually is. 319 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,040 I don't think she's had like, ribs removed or anything like 320 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,320 that. I think she's wearing like a 321 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,800 really aggressive corset. And her hip to waist ratio is so 322 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,280 extreme that it looks so much smaller. 323 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,640 Someone else who is a tiny little Polly pocket is Sabrina 324 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,960 Carpenter. She was wearing Oscar de la 325 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:21,599 Renta and to me, this look was so underwhelming, so unfortunate 326 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,640 because she is literally the pop star of the moment. 327 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,680 And yeah, it was just boring. She could have worn this on any 328 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,720 red carpet. The glam I feel like she could 329 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,440 have just done if she did like a lighter brow, even like a bleach 330 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:36,760 brow. I don't know, maybe we're over 331 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280 bleach brows. But if she did a lighter brow or 332 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,600 something more interesting with her makeup, she just did her 333 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,640 pretty much regular glam and it's like if she had just done 334 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,680 something more interesting, I think it could have helped. 335 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,360 But this all together was just so nothing, unfortunately. 336 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,360 But I did love, like I said about Emma Chamberlain, I loved 337 00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,640 her pale skin, like her skin really was to me the standout of 338 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,720 this whole look, just how youthful and hydrated and 339 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,120 luminous it looked. And I loved that. 340 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,960 It didn't look like she had a spray tan and she was rocking 341 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,800 kind of like her natural pale skin. 342 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,120 It was very elegant and I loved that vibe. 343 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:19,160 But yes, disappointed for sure. Taylor Russell was in Lavey and 344 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,120 she had a drop toga waist like Ariana Grande and she had this 345 00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:30,400 like wooden shield almost as the top with florals kind of painted 346 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,480 on it. Just very minimal, like two big 347 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,760 flowers on either like top and bottom. 348 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,240 And it was very cool. It was very interesting to look 349 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,880 at And Morgan Stewart said that this was real fashion. 350 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040 So I'm going to believe it and I'm going to say that this was a 351 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,600 win because I believe Morgan Stewart and then Lana Del Rey. 352 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,160 She was wearing Alexander McQueen by Sean Mcgear. 353 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,800 I loved this. She was wrapped in twigs and 354 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,600 like draped in fabric, and she looked exactly like the antler 355 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,120 queen from yellow Jackets. That's like the first thing I 356 00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,840 thought of. But it was so sick. 357 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,800 I think it was such an interesting twist, like a unique 358 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,040 twist on the theme. We didn't see anything else like 359 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,360 it, as far as I could tell from anyone else, and it felt just so 360 00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:18,920 right. And so on theme, it didn't feel 361 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,640 over the top, it didn't overpower her, but it still felt 362 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,760 like a Met Gala costume, quote, UN quote, right? 363 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,360 Like something you would want to see on the Met Gala. 364 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,680 Because for me, the marker of a Met Gala outfit is like 365 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,760 something you couldn't wear on another red carpet. 366 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,240 So to me, perfect. OK, Sydney Sweeney, she was in 367 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,120 mew mew. Oh my God, this was such a miss 368 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:41,000 for me. Unfortunately. 369 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,520 First of all, I thought it was Billie Eilish and I don't know 370 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,360 why, but if it was Billie Eilish I probably would have liked it 371 00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,560 more. I don't know, it was just 372 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,520 something. It felt so off. 373 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,720 This look completely overpowered her, especially the wig. 374 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,760 The wig was like too big for her head, almost too big for her 375 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,880 face. And it felt like a kid playing 376 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,680 dress up in a wig store, like a costume store, as opposed to 377 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,760 somebody stepping out for the Mechala, like one of the biggest 378 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,720 actresses in the world going to the Mechala. 379 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,440 It just overpowered her, like she was not wearing this look. 380 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,320 This look was wearing her Mindy Kaling, She was wearing Gaurav 381 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,840 Gupta. And I loved the back of her 382 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,480 dress. This is another one that I 383 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,480 haven't seen a lot of people talk about or mentioned. 384 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,480 So I don't know if this is, I don't know, a popular opinion or 385 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,320 not, but I really fucking love this. 386 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,080 I thought it was so sick. I loved the back of it and I 387 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800 loved how it like twisted up to the front over her head, like I 388 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,800 thought it was so cool. It was one of the coolest 389 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,040 dresses that I think I've ever seen anybody wear. 390 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,600 It was sick. It felt like a look worthy of 391 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,920 the Met Gala. And then we have Cardi B and she 392 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,000 was the last one to arrive on the red carpet. 393 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,880 Zendaya went on the red carpet again after with her second 394 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,840 look, but as far as I know, Cardi waited until everyone was 395 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,760 off the red carpet and then she went on. 396 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,480 She was wearing window sin and it was this massive like giant 397 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:11,920 beautiful black tulle dress. I don't know if it was on theme, 398 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,240 but I don't know if it matters because it was so cool, like it 399 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,040 was ginormous, despite how ginormous it was. 400 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,840 It did not overpower her like she was fucking wearing that 401 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,480 look. She really has these amazing 402 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,520 high fashion moments. I fucking love it. 403 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,040 It almost looks like the embodiment of, you know, when 404 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,280 you're watching a kids movie. I don't know how to explain this 405 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240 well. And they're in like a forest or 406 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,080 a jungle or something. And then this bad presence 407 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,840 starts to seep in to the nature and it like, overwhelms it. 408 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,480 And it's almost like this, like smoky, like black smoky fog or 409 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,080 like sludge or something. That's what it reminds me of. 410 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,640 Like it reminds me of an ethereal fairy forest that is 411 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,480 getting like contaminated with bad vibes, which is actually 412 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,120 kind of the theme. So I take it back. 413 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:06,920 She was on theme, OK? And my best dressed, finally, my 414 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,600 best best dressed was Mona Patel. 415 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,680 So Mona is actually a fashion entrepreneur, and she's not 416 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200 super famous. She only have 15,000 Instagram 417 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480 followers when she went on the red carpet. 418 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280 She's like a philanthropist. She like combines her business, 419 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,800 combines philanthropy and fashion. 420 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,120 And I think she does a lot of other things in fashion as well. 421 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,160 But it was her first Met Gala. She was styled by La Roche and 422 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,720 she was wearing Iris Van Herpen and her dress. 423 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,240 I just thought it was perfect. It was ethereal, but it was also 424 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,600 like armor almost. It was it was it like combined 425 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,800 the theme perfectly. It was like she was wearing this 426 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,240 coat of arms almost to protect herself, but it was so ethereal 427 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920 and beautiful. It kind of did feel a bit like 428 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,040 elfish. But then on her arms this is 429 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,000 like what did it for me. She had all of these butterflies 430 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,320 and they moved when she walked and it was so beautiful, like 431 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,360 stunning. I feel like this is the perfect 432 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:07,880 way to do something that's really feminine and beautiful 433 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:12,480 and ethereal while also being really interesting and different 434 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,960 to me. It was just exactly what the Met 435 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,200 is about. So that's that, guys. 436 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,880 I hope that this episode wasn't too long, but I'm sure you guys 437 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,720 won't mind. Thank you so much for listening 438 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,880 to Mini Scroll. I love you guys and I will talk 439 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,640 to you tomorrow. Bye.
