All the Met Gala-inspired drawings I did this year (so far) I LOVED THIS YEAR SO MUCH. Please follow me on Instagram to see progress and additional pieces (and to vote on the next piece!)
Priyanka Chopra attends the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018 in New York City.
Every year the Metropolitan Museum of Art throws a big fancy fashion party with a theme seemingly picked solely for the ASTOUNDING potential to dazzle, and every year 90% of the attendees fail to clear even the most minimum of bars. This is one of those years, because it is every year.
BUT, that 10% who actually went for something went pretty dang FOR IT this particular May, an IMPROVEMENT over last, and we’re here for it. We being my bff Jen and I.
Jen: I’m in it for the Opulent Imagery™ Jen: Angel wings and tall hats and people doing their best cosplay of Jude Law Jen: Rihanna comes dressed as the entire Ghent Altarpiece, etc. Me: C O R R E C T
HERE ARE SOME OF OUR FAVORITE LOOKS
**Caveat: I do not give a flying buttress if it skews more Byzantine or Eastern Orthodox than strictly Catholic, just make it loud.
RIHANNA
Jen: it’s everything I wanted.

Me: Oh SHIT Me: AND HIS LITTLE TWO FINGER PAPAL GESTURE LIKE A PEACE SIGN
– way more commitment than last year, pls keep it going – I know I’m missing some peeps but it’s laaate I gotta turn in – none of them had the sand to go as slutty St. Sebastian so men are Canceled
Honestly the bar is so fucking low for men and they’re still coming out so lackluster at the Met Gala. Women celebs are showing up as walking performance art and what about the fellas? Oh, another black tux but this time you’re wearing red shoes. Call the narcs. Oh, maybe this radical boy is gonna slam us with some black velvet. How controversial. You think a shift to yet another safe texture is enough? Where’s the lace? The collars! Where are the crowns of thorns? What man is going to be the only lion amongst a den of cowards and waltz in there with that Saint Sebastian vibe, assnaked and unmistakably gay? Catholicism hasn’t been horny for beefy, dying men for centuries just so we can play it safe with another boring black tux.
you know, i love the idea of the met gala in theory… but in practice its really the rihanna/zendaya show and rightfully so cuz these other celebrities just disappoint, you telling me that you get a delicious, wild theme like CATHOLICISM and your first thought is a sparkly dress or a bland tux????!!?? Where is my 14th century pope??? Joan of Arcs??????Nuns???? Why don’t you look like you bout to take over renaissance italy with your banking empire?? You should look like u bout to poison somebody with a gem encrusted ring!!!! Like you about to split from the catholic church and start a war with spain!! this is the one event we plebs get to witness opulence at its grandest, i should feel like an enraged 18th century french peasant when i see your outfit, i should want to guillotine the entirety of hollywood but i aint seen nothin worthy of my guillotine tonight smh
