Saint Laurent’s creative director Anthony Vaccarello was one of the big co-chairs of this year’s Met Gala, thus a lot of people wore Saint Laurent. Personally, I don’t believe any of this was the best exhibition for YSL, but Vaccarello did customize a lot of looks so… people were getting what they asked for. One of the bigger stand-outs among the Saint Laurent crew was Hailey Bieber’s gold breastplate and blue skirt. Something nice: at least she embraced a bold color, which was seemingly an impossible task for many at this year’s Met Gala, with the theme of “Fashion Is Art.” According to most attendees, “art” is a “a black dress.” I wish Hailey was styled a bit differently – this could have used a different hairstyle.
Doja Cat also wore Saint Laurent, and this is both the best she’s ever looked and the most unrecognizable she’s ever been, if that makes sense. Her dress looked like a condom and I don’t get why everything is the same color.
Zoe Kravitz wore black YSL- at least it was a bit dramatic and RenFaire. She was also “hiding” her engagement ring.
Charli XCX’s custom Saint Laurent could have been an email. Same with Kate Moss and Rosé, I’m sorry to say.
Madonna also wore Saint Laurent… she’s got a ship on her head!!

Has YSL always been a snoozefest? I feel like I used to like their stuff but nothing is really standing out here, not even Doja Cat’s shower curtain.
I agree about Hailey’s look; the color is lovely but I feel like I’ve seen a dress like this before done better. She really needs to branch out with her hair, it always looks like her mom tried to shellack her hair in place for a fourth grade dance recital.
I wonder if the outfits get better from this post because, unfortunately, Hailey is the best-dressed of this group and there isn’t much remarkable about her outfit. She even downgraded her own outfit by taking off the shawl/cape.
I will say Zoe is a close second.
You’re right all of these are pretty boring and Doja does look like a condom.
I think Hailey looks beautiful but a bit boring. Like that look would work on almost any red carpet.
The rest are kind of the same – nice enough but a bit boring, but Hailey looks the best overall.
Also, I swear I’m going crazy. I saw a picture of Hailey and Justin in matching outfits that looked like the Sistine Chapel. Was that from a previous year, or was I fooled by AI, or was there a costume change?
Connor Storrie was my favorite YSL. Only after he took off his jacket. But I’m biased.
Haha I came here to say the same!
I would love to know the explanation of Madonna’s ship hat, the billowing gray trains and the horn she carried.
The rest are just pretty dresses, as Christian Siriano said with great disappointment last night
The ship makes me think of those enormous wigs from the … 18th? century that French aristo ladies used to wear – huge white powdered affairs with ships or birds in them.
Perhaps wearing a corset and panniers as well would’ve been too much like cosplay, but her dress is just a meh of black and does not photograph well.
Yep. Madonna is giving full-on Marie Antoinette ascended from the Underworld for the evening.
(Marie famously once wore a pouf hairstyle topped with an entire model ship, complete with rigging, cannons, and even cannon smoke.)
This article explains Madonna‘s look— https://ca.news.yahoo.com/madonna-carrying-met-gala-022110450.html
Ahhhh…… Thank you.
YSL=mostly whelmed
I think Zoe looks the best of the bunch, but that might be more about the hair and makeup than the dress.
I think Zoe Kravitz in Saint Laurent? If that’s correct, she was stunning. And I loved her makeup.
Okay I think Madonna’s Marie Antoinette reference with the ship on her head should be discussed.
Hailey’s dress is very pretty but too basic for The MET. I loved Rose’s look although kind of wished the dress itself were a bright color.
I LOVED Hailey’s look, especially with the cape. I think the blue and the gold is strikingly gorgeous.
The rest of these looks were pretty forgettable to me.
The Majorelle blue and gold was a great take by YSL. See his home in Marrakech here for the reference. The colors are EYE-POPPING to see in person. https://www.domusweb.it/en/news/gallery/2022/05/26/the-electric-blue-villa-owned-by-yves-saint-laurent-is-up-for-sale.html
Wowzers!
I liked Zoe and Hailey’s dresses. The rest were very cocktail party. Not a fan of latex clothing. Used to work with the hardcore stuff.
Hailey does look fabulous and maybe it’s jealousy (probably is) but I could look that good too with billions of dollars to play with (and I’m much older than her, but still stand my ground).
Gigi already wore Haileys dress for vogue world I was confused by that
Another year, another Met Gala. Yet again, few attendees understood the assignment, only a handful were on theme. And most of the celebs looked awful, just awful. It says a lot that most memorable were the men, so shoutout to Connor Storrie and Luke Evans for bringing it.
Madonna’s outfit was brilliant. When you see what she was referencing, it’s possibly the best. I don’t think Zoe Kravitz looks Ren Faire. Ren Faire would be shabbier or more bedazzled. She looks like a Goya painting, the Maja perhaps. Spain always goes its own direction!
