#met gala favorites

[themakeupbrush]

In no particular order, my top looks from the 2023 Met Gala "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line in Beauty"

My thoughts are below, but I'll be honest, I didn't really do any background research this year because there wasn't much to be done. These are really just my opinions on whether or not I liked the look.

Ironically, I felt this was a very mediocre year, which led to me having a lot more favorites than usual because they were kind of all on the same level. In previous years I would have separated this into multiple posts, but I don't really see the point.

Doja Cat: I wanted someone to dress up as Choupette the cat and she delivered, and managed to do so in a way that was still fitting for the event

Keke Palmer: She looked amazing, and really captured the Chanel look with the bombshell hair and the extremely bedazzled tweed. I honestly don't want to think about how much that dress weighed

Anne Hathaway: Besides that fact that I love everything Anne Hathaway has ever done, this dress was the perfect combination of honoring Lagerfeld's style while also incorporating it into the style of the brand she was representing (Versace). It had tweed and pearls, but also sex appeal and safety pins

Cardi B: First, I just want to appreciate her ongoing commitment to high fashion and the fact that she had three (3) completely separate looks. This particular Miss Sohee look was my favorite because she's living out my glinda barbie mermaid fairy princess dreams

Harvey Guillen: This was one of the first looks I saw of the night, and still one of my favorites. It has all the Lagerfeld style essentials, but still manages to look unique. Plus, creative menswear always gets extra points because the bar is painfully low, though this year was a surprisingly pleasant exception.

Jennifer Lopez: It's not the most creative look, but it's right up my alley and honestly, do we expect anything groundbreaking from JLo? She's always going to show up in something pretty that's decently on theme enough for me to just focus on whether or not I like it. And this immediately makes me think of classic Chanel.

Penelope Cruz: She was a co-host, it's vintage Chanel couture from the 80's, and she's one of the people I most heavily associate with Lagerfeld and Chanel. A win all around.

Russell Westbrook: I really want to give Russell Westbrook credit for always showing up to the Met Gala and really going for it. I love all the details: the pearl necklace, the tweed blazer with floral clasps, the bows on the shoes

Chloe Fineman: Another first look that turned out to be a favorite. This again had all the necessary design elements without feeling like a cheap knockoff. Also major points for the bedazzled cat bag.

Anok Yai: I don't know and I don't care how this relates to theme, she looked like a goddess

Bad Bunny: Another man not only doing something interesting but incorporating the theme? Genuinely shocking. Obviously I loved the OTT floral cape, but I really loved the ode to c. 2005 Chanel with the backless suit and backwards necklace.

Gisele: She wore the same dress from an iconic 2007 editorial, proving not only that she still has it, but that she's always had it. A true supermodel.

Salma Hayek: She looked hot, I don't know what else you want me to say about it. Also it had color, which nothing else did. My eyes were starving for color.

Glenn Close: For starters, she needed an entire team to carry her train so props for that. She brought the drama, the glitz, and the "age is just a number so shut the hell up" glamor.

Lil Nas X: This was, for lack of a better phrase, a cheeks out, bedazzled, balls to the wall look. The Choupette inspiration is more obvious when he was inside with the fur (ish?) coat on, but I honestly didn't care. I needed a moment and he delivered. Though I do wonder (1) how long it took to bedazzle him and (2) will he every fully be de-glittered.

Brian Tyree Henry: I don't know if it's the pose or the cape, but it's giving me dramatic shakespeare vibes and I appreciate it.

Naomi Campbell: The only issue I have with this look is that they called 2010 Chanel Couture "vintage" and I can't accept that. Beyond that, I mean, it's Naomi Campbell in Chanel Couture. I was also dying for any semblance of color at this point and somehow this dress was among the most colorful

Jenna Ortega: The perfect combination of chanel tweed cropped blazer/mini skirt and the Wednesday Addams aesthetic. Which was interesting because I thought she was trying to move away from that but I don't care it was a successful look

Ava Max: Chanel was known for the haute couture bride, and this not only really captures that, it was one of the most and quite honestly only majorly dramatic looks of the night

Halle Bailey: She looked like a mermaid and I love that for her

Ashley Graham: I would have loved this look regardless, but after seeing the dress it was modeled after, I also think it was one of the best tributes of the night

Tems: Has she ever looked bad on a red carpet? Her headpieces are just getting bigger and more elaborate and I see nothing wrong with that.

Diddy: I love the drama + the floral cape, though I am left wondering how he didn't faint under all of that. Also, you can roast me all you want for captioning his post with Sean Combs but that's what was given to the AP so it's what I went with.

Shai Gilgeous Alexander: A final man who followed the theme and wore something interesting, arguably more interesting than some of the women. I actually think I like this look better without the coat over it.

sunday snippet <3

my schedule was recently cleared up :) thanks to :) a wildfire :) so this may be coming (heh) sooner than expected!

cut bc it is Kinktober afterall... lil nsfw

The car banked left in a turn, yet they stayed locked on one another. Simon continued to try to remove Wille’s clothing in the back seat, and Wille’s mouth resided on Simon’s skin, on the sliver of neck and chest exposed by the deep cut of his blood red top.

“Kronprinsen,” Simon drawled. He tried to keep his voice teasing, but Wille’s tongue on his skin and hands slipping into the back of his pants was rather distracting. “Sweden’s precious partyprinsen, looking absolutely wrecked leaving the Valentino afterparty.”

Wille groaned, and his hips bucked up as Simon tugged at his hair. It would’ve caused Simon’s head to bang into the car’s ceiling roof if he hadn’t been bent over, with his teeth grazing across Wille’s collarbones.

“Ex-Prince,” Wille corrected, breathless but sounding like he was teetering right on the edge of where Simon wanted him. A bit of hardness to his tone, a bit of that confident, cocky Wilhelm who’d been coming out to play more and more often lately. Simon loved all versions of his Wille, but on a night like this, there was one version in particular he was looking for. “You’re just trying to rile me up.”

Simon hummed against the pulse point on Wille’s neck, palming him through his tight trousers. He was already so hard, and Simon’s mouth watered at the feeling of it.

“Is it working?”

“Sweetheart, I think you can tell it’s fucking working.”

söndag! snip!

i heard some requests for a met gala au pt 3??

The slight intermission of the elevator was almost comical; Simon and Wille, bracketed by two POs, trying to act like no one knows what’s about to happen. Simon reached out a hand and pinched at Wille’s hip, sending him a cheeky grin. Wille caught his hand and smiled back, eyes sparkling with mirth and want. Behind them, one of the security officers cleared his throat quietly. They turned to face the doors again and Wille silently counted the floors in his head, urging the damn thing to go faster. 

Finally, finally, they reached Wille’s floor, and he had to physically restrain himself from sprinting down the hallway. The anticipation of it all was nearly killing him but felt so delicious at the same time. It made it all the more better when, right as the door to his room clicked shut, Simon jumped on him again. 

Wille’s back hit the wall, hard, though he barely noticed, too consumed with Simon’s mouth on his. In another few seconds, the last of the buttons on Wille’s shirt were undone and he was helping Simon pull his sheer top over his head.

“I thought,” Wille breathed into Simon’s neck, words coming between nips at the skin there, “you wanted to be in a bed?”

“This is your hotel room,” Simon countered. “You show me.”

I’ve reached a conclusion. This year’s looks can be either:

1. Meh.

2. Florals? Groundbreaking.

3. Is that even in theme?

4. Now we are talking !!!!!!!!!!!!

i kinda like it? it’s very colorful and also very not on the theme i think

i like the purple, green, and pink more than i do the yellow, but they're all good fits (and i think they do fit the theme tbh)
