Hailey Bieber, Why Were You There?
For user Mothering In Style, she was disgusted at the fact that Hailey Bieber and her “basic” custom YSL blazer dress made an appearance, but fellow TikToker and fashion icon Wisdom Kaye wasn’t. (And honestly, she has a point).
“It’s a tragedy and it’s a crime!” she said.
Teyana Taylor and This TikToker for Best Dressed?
Though there were countless hits and misses on this year’s carpet, for user Mandy Moore, it was easy to spot her picks for Best Dressed: Teyana Taylor and social media star Khaby Lame.
White Celebs Played It Safe (And They Should Have)
User Boujee Brown Skin had an interesting takeaway from this year’s gala, specifically when it came to the white celebs who graced the carpet: they played it safe because they don’t know how to adhere to a specific Black theme without being racist.
“They do not know how to pull off the essence of Black culture without pushing it too far,” he said.
OK, hear him out because points were made!

The opening line of user Big Teezus’ “chaotic” review of the Met Gala had us sold because of it’s uncanny accuracy!

Janelle Monae’s “Quirky Precision” vs. Chappell Roan’s Whatever??
