I’m not usually one to judge red carpet events but the Met Gala is almost designed for exactly that. The theme this year centered on the body as canvas—structure, form, the idea of clothing shaping and framing the body. Plenty of room for interpretation. And yet so many landed in the same place: naked dressing. Kim, Kylie, Kendall, Hailey, Lauren, etc…turned up in variations of corseted/sculpted silhouettes. Not surprising, I guess, but still a bit of a letdown, considering the opportunity to do something truly original. Which is why I want to call attention to everyday dressing here, because the goal isn’t spectacle, but rather small, interesting choices to take it out of the ordinary. A detail, a proportion, something that yields personality. Some ideas to scroll through: ’s asymmetric halter top, ’s embellished and (looks very ), my floral print jeans (currently on repeat), the blue back-baring mini dress, ’s lace romper, ’s halter top, (on-sale) leather tote bag, ’s grommet studded dress, and ’s above (I’m a proud owner of it too)!
