In Harbison

Mindy wore a custom menswear inspired gown from black designer, Charles Harbison, to the Met Gala. I, for one, particularly loved the jewelled button accent on the skirt. Mindy looked sharp here.

Is this trend of so much makeup called something? I find it hard to look past that. Did not like the outfit.
Yes, it’s called a pancake:)
That’s a whole lotta panfulls of cake. Scary
I didn’t mind the buttons but the belt and the cape somehow doesn’t go with overall look at all.
Loved it!
So nice, so trendy and Lovely !!
Met Gala feels like the Emperor’s New Clothes, one day someone is going to say it.
Sadly the new Hollywood look is supremely ugly or extremely normcore clothes topped by weirdly sculpted faces. I have to go out and see ordinary people to reassure myself the world is ok.
Pity about Mindy, used to own her look and be fab.
The first reference that came to mind when I saw the theme, was of Les Sapeurs of the Congo- Brazzaville and Kinshasa… A movement by the African people, as a sort of colonising the coloniser, a response to European hauteur which stated that the colonies were not deserving of fine things, or that they could not have their own. It meant using the discarded clothes of their Euro masters, and giving them a distinctive flair. They turned tailoring on its head, wearing the sharpest fits in bright colours and anazzy patterns, accessoring in ways that the European would never, accompanied by all the music and rhythm of their culture. This was the root of what later became Black Dandyism, a sort of giant finger to Empire.
So, regardless of makeup issues or whatever, IMO Mindy was the only one out of the South Asian contingent, and in general, who actually nailed it… Maybe because she wore a Black designer who actually understood the assignment.
I mean they could have just called the Les Sapeurs. They are still around. Met is just one more dress up and display op for celebs.
Thanks that actually helps a lot. Lot of outfits make sense now and also many did not understand the assignment.
I cannot agree more- Mindy got all aspects of sharp tailoring, dandy flamboyance with colors, shape and structure right
