Description

Hear ye! Hear ye! The event of all events: The Met Gala was here, and we need to take a step back and celebrate fashion’s biggest night! Get our latest episode now! Never heard of the Met Gala? Ever been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City? Doesn’t matter.  All you need to know is that this is THE celebrity event of the year featuring the most outrageous costumes and looks curated by top designers, which raises money for the The Met’s Costume Institute each year.   If you want to see all the outfits? Please head over to Holly’s Pinterest board and follow along! No matter your movie career, income bracket, or societal stature, it’s the coolest of the cool kids that get to go.  As exclusive as it is political, to be invited is somewhat equal to being invited to a ball hosted by royalty. You just don’t say no. You show up, with bells on. Literally.   The theme this year was centered around the “Gilded Age” in American Fashion, focusing on New York’s elite in the last decades of the 19th Century, around 1870 to 1900 Think white ties, large hair with hats to match, opera gloves dresses to the floor, and very tightly nipped corsets galore. So, join Holly and Nolan this week to see who understood the assignment, and who forgot their homework. They have graded the papers, and the results are in:  A+ Awards: Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds were the co-chairs of this year’s Gala.  As such, Blake pulled off an epic dress reveal for her arrival on the Met steps, where gala assistants untied the bow of her shimmery rose gold strapless gown by Atelier Versace to reveal a bright blue-green train underneath.  Her rose gold opera gloves also changed to blue-green, with her colors paying homage to New York City architecture, her crown paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, and the golden dress design symbolizing the Empire State Building.  We. Are. Not. Worthy. Anna Wintour, the Queen of All Fashion, wore a colorful ensemble Chanel which featured a feather-embellished cape, and a long matching skirt that flowed down to the ground. Of course, her outfit was gorgeous, and she even swapped out her classic sunglasses for a TIARA– which she owns! But Nolan is just bored with her same dress profile year after year.  Sarah Jessica Parker, as always, was our star student with extra credit and the teacher’s pet. Her dramatic Christopher John Rodgers ball gown and exaggerated hat proved she understood the assignment again this year.  Probably Nolan’s favorite of the night was Bee Carrozzini Shaffer (Anna Wintour’s daughter) in in a dramatic, lacy black Alexander McQueen gown. Elegant with a capital E! And Kaia Gerber in Alexander McQueen. She was straight out of a fairy tale. Holly has just become the president of the Winnie Harlow Fan Club. Winnie looked like an absolute angel. Like from heaven. She wore a whimsical white tulle creation by Iris Van Herpen with an amazing headpiece. No one does the Met Gala like Iris van Herpen. No. One. Michelle Yeoh: The epitome of GORGEOUS, and totally age appropriate, she wore a green upcycled silk-faille gown by Prabal Gurung. The piece featured a sharply draped bodice with an off-the-shoulder silhouette, complete with a sweeping skirt with a fluted hem. The elegant ensemble was finished with a dramatic matching cape. Amplifying the glamour of Yeoh’s outfit was a show-stopping diamond and pearl Tasaki statement necklace — also designed by Gurung.  Thank you, Madame! A++ Alicia Keys in Ralph Lauren. She looked BEYOND in a NYC skyline cape and gown. TO DIE FOR. Another love: Lizzo (and her flute!) in Thom Brown. That Coat!  Nolan wants to wear it to Whole Foods. He wants to wear it to the bodega. He wants to wear it everywhere. It took 32,000 man hours to make that coat, and we are here to celebrate it! Awkwafina arrived in a custom Gucci salmon pink and multicolor tulle puff sleeve dress. Holly says she has never looked better! Cardi B. “Goes for the Gold” in Versace– and was very well dresse
