What's funny is that it is pretty much the same fashion houses that provide the clothing for all of these events. It's not as though "lesser" ceremonies went shopping at H&M or Primark.
One thing that I really despise is what most of the women wear on their feet. Why would any human being accept to do such a thing?

ANOTHER awards show! The CMT Country Music Awards. These people have even more questionable fashion sense, sad to say. people.com/cmt-awards-2024-red-carpet-arrivals-photos-8628097The hostess was one of the few who dressed for success. She also looked pretty good in a Barbie as cowgirl getup. For the most part, the style was more…country. The men, too.

Ha -- "ANOTHER awards show!" was my exact thought when I saw there was a new post on this thread.
Thank you for showing those pictures. I would say they saved me from opening the link, but I wasn't tempted.
The Castellows are as Petticoat Junction as it's possible to be.

It's just too easy to think up nasty comments about these people. Shooting sitting ducks.

The last photo in #756 reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode, the one that a woman -- beautiful to our eyes -- undergoes surgery to look like everyone else so she will fit in. www.imdb.com/title/tt0734568/

Wasn't last year when Kim Kardashian wore the Marilyn Monroe dress (from Some Like It Hot - ?) to the Met Gala and blew out the seams with her big butt?
Don't say I'm not up on culture!

While we await the Met Gala, here is the red carpet from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner 2024. Prepare yourself for People Dressing Appropriately. Well, except for Fetterman, who always looks like an asshole in that hoodie get up. Look how nice his wife looks! He couldn't put on slacks for her benefit, at least? Oh yeah -- the other exception is Coco Rocha, some species of model. She looks like Michael Jackson came back from the dead & draped himself in organza. Kelly O’Donnell gets my vote for the standout good look of the evening. deadline.com/gallery/2024-white-house-correspondents-dinner-photos-red-carpet/

What have these actresses and singers have to do at a correspondents' dinner? They aren't journalists or spokespeople or anything related to White House correspondents.
Agree about Coco Rocha -- looks like she died and was dug up.

I was also wondering why the celebrities are invited to that (or do they invite themselves?). Is it in the hope of not being trashed in the media for the coming year?

The worst thing about a lot of those dresses is that even if you cut them up, they wouldn't make good cleaning rags.

I have had enough just looking at the pics on the BBC website. At least there is some sort of flowery/nature theme this year to excuse the extravagance.

I like Mindy Kaling's dress! In keeping with the nature theme, she is dressed in a high tunnel.

I like Mindy Kaling's dress! The bodice is pretty. The baby carriage hood and loop of excess fabric along the side are unnecessary and distracting.

The gown is pretty, but a mite sheer in the mons area. Also yuck to those shoulder projections.

Some interesting commentary here, and no paywall for a change. (I guess the NYT wants readers to have free access to the stuff that really matters!) www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/06/fashion/met-gala-2024PS Bixa. The gown Kim K wore last year was actually the “Happy Birthday Mr. President” gown.

I couldn't see the NY Times article but consoled myself by reading Marina Hyde in the Guardian: "If you haven’t sat in mismatched pyjamas huffing toast while remarking what an unacceptable misstep Lana Del Rey’s mosquito net was, and how Chanel seems to be going tits up, then you have simply failed to capitalise on the digital banquet spread out for you. These are dark times, and nothing but … gratitude, I think? … should be shown for film director Taika Waititi’s decision to come dressed as a brown pleather three-piece suite, while his wife, Rita Ora, presented as the ribbon curtain tacked over their back door to keep the flies off it."

Kimby, thanks for the correct information on the Marilyn dress. (You know how "the stuff that really matters" is important to me. ) there is some sort of flowery/nature theme this year to excuse the extravagance. The bodice is pretty. The baby carriage hood and loop of excess fabric along the side are unnecessary and distracting. The reason I'm okay with the extreme impracticality of Kaling's dress and some of the other crazy little numbers at the Met gala is because I believe that's the whole point of the gala -- a dress code, & whatever people can dream up to portray it.After reading this year's dress code name & seeing some of the looks interpreting it, I thought of something I saw in the Museum of London: anyportinastorm.proboards.com/post/280935/thread (reply #52).

There are so many very uncomfortable looking costumes ...however one or two pass muster as reasonable looking. The celebrities must starve themselves for months beforehand and work themselves to a frazzle in the gym in order to look so perfect. As usual lots of bare flesh on show...I like a couple but can't remember the names of the wearers...I'll go back and take notes
