Just curious to see if I am the odd one out - I just sat here and scrolled through at least 50 photos from last night's Met Ball and was just baffled. The theme was American Independence and the vast majority, frankly almost all, attendees seemed to have ignored the theme or have a tenuous link to it. Most used it to dress in the most God awful, ill fitting, self aggrandising costumes they could find. I'm American and never thought that gimp outfits and masks were indicative of American independence in any form.
Of course this is fashion and I certainly don't expect boring dresses/tuxes demonstrating "good taste", and fashion is about drama and fantasy. However, couture, if the outfits were couture, should be at least perfectly fitted. Case in point - Iman had an amazing over-the-top outfit which worked because it fitted perfectly. Billie Eilish's dress could have been amazing if it was just fitted better.
The whole even just screamed "LOOK AT ME!!", which is fine, but I want to look at amazing things, not things whipped up by a colour blind, one armed drunk tailor!
