Met Gala: Fashion’s Oscar Night
As any fashion-loving student with a crippling inability to ACTUALLY study for finals can attest, this year’s MET gala (aka fashion’s biggest shitshow) which proceeded on the theme of Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations, provided plenty of fodder for procrastination’s sake. In an attempt to condense this post to more pictures, less word vommit, I will proceed now with a briefly annotated summary of the night’s various wonders (and horrors)
The Bad
Anja Rubik in Anthony Vaccarello
Belly-high slit+protruding hip bone=not a pretty picture Ms. Rubik

I’m just impressed she can stand in that thing…

The fake tan… the pouf… the dress. Overdoing it much?

Statuesque as always.

yes, I do occasionally rock midi-length dresses with bustlines resembling mutant calla lilies
