@trashsquatch brought it to my attention that Karl Lagerfeld hated pink, and there were quite a few people who wore that to the MET Gala... but the question became whether or not it was done on purpose or if they just didn't do their research! So, without further ado:

Did They Wear Pink As A Fuck-You to Karl Lagerfeld?

Alexandra Daddario - shaky, this is Greige

Viola Davis - THAT bright ass pink? Absolutely

Lily Aldridge - super subtle from the front, MASSIVE from the back, so maybe

Allison Williams - it's orange, so she might need a colour test if it was

Jennifer Lopez - really more of a pearl pink and I honestly doubt it

Dasha Zhukova - she knew him irl and she's done some iffy shit herself so definitely not

Donatella Versace - same case as Dasha, HOWEVER... she seems like the type to be petty so I can imagine yes

Gwendoline Christie - she's a big lady and Karl was a notorious asshole about body types, so possibly. I just wish she'd worn something with some shape to it

WAIT. GWENDOLINE AS LADY D. I SEE THE VISION

Ashley Graham - quite literally known in the industry as a plus size model so yes absolutely

Sydney Sweeney - ehh... this is edging on greige, and with the bow and embellishments, I think she just liked the colour

Precious Lee - another larger woman and it’s almost an accessory; with how bright it is, for sure yes

Song Hye Kyo - feels accidental more than anything

Grace Elizabeth - she worked with him, so she would probably know... and that's a LOT of pink, including her makeup. If it was, she probably has stories

Kate Moss - knew him irl but not smart enough to do it on purpose/probably liked him

Naomi Campbell - also knew him irl and.... it feels very deliberate, so probably

Karan Elson - even if it was, it was poorly done and she needs a new stylist regardless

Quannah Chasinghorse - with that context now in mind, and how careful Quannah has been about choosing her fits with purpose in the past, definitely yes and I have a new appreciation for the outfit

Quinta Brunson - hmm... maybe. She's not ~model skinny and she's very much of my generation so I can see yes

Nicole Kidman - nah, they hung out a bunch and seemed to like each other, this was just an awful decision

Mirka Federer - I think she just likes pink, she wears it a lot

Bee Carrozzini - OH SHE'S ANNA WINTOUR'S DAUGHTER. ...why can't anyone in this family dress themselves 😭 but with that in mind, no, just bad taste

Harvey Guillén - ABSOLUTELY 💯 AND WE LOVE HIM FOR IT

Chloe Fineman - she also had this little cat purse thing which was apparently a Lagerfeld ~staple... so this seems like a shady homage

HONORABLE MENTION to Lizzo, who did not wear pink but straight up got photos done of her eating fries in her MET Gala fit!

AHAHAHA ON HIS MIDDLE FINGERS

AND THE TIE, TOO

I was so distracted by his lack of pants I didn't even notice, bless him

It’s hard to find good Western fashion these days. Hate the square toe cowboy boots, and the loose-fitting “I conceal carry 50 glocks on me” clothing with the fake lumberjack cotton “flannel” look is just so overdone and boring.

All these men either look like they stepped off the set of a Hallmark Channel movie or are coming back in from a day working the stables at Ram Ranch.

Fellas, we gotta bring back drip like this.

im no expert but when it comes to specific kinds of fashion i tend to look more into movies and other pieces of art, since they have a balance of accuracy and aesthetics. good example (for me at least since im a woman) of western fashion would be sharon tate’s costumes on the quick and the dead

(shit pic i know but my point still stands)

Oh yeah those looks fuck hard. I think women have more options than men but those looks are iconic.

that’s because those are authentic turn of the century pieces mixed in with movie wardrobe. also that is Sharon Stone. the embroidered jacket in the first picture is a vintage victorian piece, from the actual period. stone can wear it because she’s petite. also the rest of the wardrobe in this movie absolutely fucks, the movie fucks, its maybe my favorite western and definitely the western with the best wardrobe

Following up to this post, here’s a fantastic look at Victorian “fancy dress balls”–they were all the rage at the time, but really picked up in the later half of the century where the focus was more on self-expression than hiding oneself, as was the case at 18th-century masquerades (Phantom hearkens back to this earlier tradition, but the idea of a masquerade hiding one’s true identity also works perfectly for its theatrical setting).

Here are some wackier costumes from fancy dress balls. I’m in love with this one:

And look! A bee!

Here’s a fashion plate with some costume ideas from across the centuries (and of course, we wouldn’t be in the Victorian era if there weren’t a bit of tone-deaf cultural appropriation with the Native American costume.):

It was actually common for women to wear shorter skirts at these balls so they could show off their fabulous boots (as you see above, and as is the case with Christine’s stage version of the Star Princess dress):

Depending on your host, masks of all kinds were welcome, so you were free to be as unsettlingly disturbing as you wanted while you lounged by the punch bowl and made rabbit eyes at the eligible young heiress whose hand in marriage comes with fifty thousand pounds a year and a lifetime of resentment because women’s rights didn’t exist yet:

Suppose you can’t make it to the most fashionable balls London or Paris this season. If it’s 1883 and you are Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt and happen to have $6 million of disposable income at your fingertips, why not throw your own fancy dress ball for New York City’s elite (and spend millions on champagne alone)? And why don’t you one-up every single one of your guests by dressing as that most wondrous of new inventions, Edison’s electric light? I defy the Rockefellers to steal your spotlight when the spotlight in question could very easily electrocute them.

Like flowers? Of course you do. Like spring? Oh, my God, do you ever. Like pretending you’re but a mere shepherdess, giggling and flouncing away from the advances of the blacksmith’s apprentice? GOOD LORD, YES. Like  the 18th century? HELL YES, OH MAN, GIMME THAT ROCOCO SPRING FLOWER EXPLOSION:

BUT WAIT! You’re not gonna let that Rococo Spring Flower Explosion HARLOT flounce away with your suitor, are you? HELL NO, YOU ARE NOT. Which is why you are prepared to send her running dressed as a GORGEOUS FREAKING BUTTERFLY:

But where would a butterfly be without a lovely flower upon which to perch? Enter your secret lesbian lover, the Rose:

Or, if you’re uncomfortable with NOT being the center of attention every waking moment, you could just pull the equivalent of one-upping the bride at a wedding by wearing white and come dressed as the DAMN SUN:

But maybe you’re more of the goth persuasion. Might I suggest a tasteful sorceress?

A dainty Batman ensemble to match your wife’s delicate moth angel gown?

Vampire mistress of the night, perhaps?

Actually, bat motifs were an extremely popular costume option, not just in the 19th century, but also at 18th century balls:

But if it’s 1880 and you want to carry on grandma’s bat tradition, this might be a more modern take on a pocket-sized blood-sucking demon:

Or this:

You are so thrilled to attend the costume ball like the goth nightmare you are, you can hardly contain your enthusiasm:

Here is a tastefully acceptable take on Satan. Might I sample your punch, Mrs. Higgenbottom, before I make away with your soul?

“Oh, Ella!”

“Yes, Constance?”

“Oh, I do so love your seagull gown.”

“Oh, why thank you, my dear friend!”

“But I’ve not the slightest idea what I shall wear to the ball!”

“Why, Constance, it is a simple matter of identifying something near and dear to your heart and then adapting it into a suitable costume. I, for example, find solace in the sea, particularly in the birds of the sea, and most particularly when they nose-dive into and defecate upon the boat, shrieking like banshees in heat. Hence, the seagulls adorning my gown. What do you like the very most, Constance?” “MOTHER-EFFING LOBSTERS.”

Or, maybe you’re just a shameless ho and don’t give a brass farthing about showing your ankles, your calves, your thighs, or your hoo-ha at the Embassy Ball, in which case, blaze it:
