Men At The Met
18
Karan Johar and Manish Malhotra attended the Met Gala on Monday evening with wearing the latter’s design. The theme for this year for “Costume Art” and dress code was “fashion is art”. I can give Manish a pass for presenting Mumbai interestingly through his 3-d jacket but the man did his friend dirty.
Like I swear my first thought at seeing Karan in that coat was “Is this some kind of brand collab with a rug company?”. No, seriously!

I thought the opposite. Love the drama of Karan’s outfit. Manish jacket looks like a mess.
Same! Karan looks like he is dressed for the MET and what a debut! Manish’s outfit is a hot mess-the idea is great but that is horribly executed which is ironic given it’s atelier that made it!
Same!
So regal! The art on Karan’s coat
Perfect for the brief!
Karan Johar looks magnificent.
Love!
why manish why???
Gosh, both beautiful outfits.. I think Karan and Manish both turned out amazing! its like I’m the designer without saying a word.. also Karan could’ve tried some style to his hair and face or something to look different. seriously, the guys did way better this time.
oh my God! That was my first reaction when I saw this pic….Karan is wearing a carpet! A beautifully woven carpet nonetheless 🙂
Both outfits feel way too literal.
Some thought couldn’t been put into it vs what was served
Agree. The theme was Fashion is Art, not Wear the Art.
Came here to say this – the Met is really about how you interpret the theme. Literally just put art onto fashion, a bit embarrassing, no matter the outfit.
Exactly what I thought. They look like a bunch of provincial hicks who just copy pasted the art on the fabric. No nuanced subtext on or interpretation of the theme. The art doesn’t even have any texture or depth to it. Just cheap, ersatz digital print on velvet. Like some South Delhi Pammi Aunty’s idea of “classy”. What are these coarse Bollywood businessmen even representing there? Can you buy your way in basis donations? Is that how the Ambani kid got in too?
Very subtle
I was being sarcastic
Nah I don’t agree . Not a Karan or a Manish fan one bit but this look on Karan was regal . It was pure art . Think he really ate
For Karan Johar, I suppose if the black trousers didn’t merge with the black inside lining of the coat, structurally, Karan’s look could have come out cleaner. The proportions seem off this way. Nonetheless, it’s a great look.
Without a doubt, men from India have outdone women this time!
The vision, the work and the grandeur, absolute perfection!!
Both looks are overkill and ott. The fabric, the silhouette did nothing for their bodies and looked like cardboard cutouts. I will take Diljit over these two any day on the MET carpet. His outfit was authentic and regal..
