Honestly, I thought the majority of white celebrities did well with this year’s Met Gala theme, interpreting Black dandyism in unique and fun ways. But there were some notable flops and some looks which didn’t do much of anything. Speaking of, Gigi Hadid wore a Miu Miu look and everyone thought that she just chose to wear a gold dress with no real connection to the theme. Then, later on, we heard that Gigi was actually referencing a famous Josephine Baker look. The hairstyle definitely helps that out, although I still think that Gigi could have done a bit more? Still, the detailing on the gown is lovely.

Speaking of not thinking so much about theme, Sydney Sweeney also wore Miu Miu. She told people on the carpet that her look was a tribute to Kim Novak… because she’s about to play Kim Novak. While that’s good casting, it’s also doesn’t have anything to do with Black dandyism?? Oh wait… is this an oblique Sammy Davis Jr. reference??

Meanwhile, Joey King was the only Miu Miu-clad person who really understood the theme. People were RAVING about her incredible green suit. She really did look fantastic.
