This filling you see is historically accurate in spirit, if not in form. The stuffed hoods of the rioters were stuffed with horsehair. Jordan Roth wins.

It looks comfortable, fun and makes a better case to bring the dress-up-pants a look behind most of the TikTokers who advocated a return to y2k. Also, reeds are an undervalued accessory.

What is the Met Gala? A quick explanation
For those of us who are not full-time girls, Guardian Australia Lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman explains what exactly the Met Gala is. The nickname “Fashion Oscars” can be a bit confusing – the Met Gala is not an awards ceremony. is a fundraising dinner. A single ticket to the event costs about $ 35,000, with tables for hundreds of thousands. The money goes to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum, which houses an archive of more than 30,000 portable items spanning more than seven centuries – which, if you’ve ever tried to keep moths out of a knitted closet, you know that requires sufficient maintenance. As for the party itself, it started in 1948. It was originally a fairly low-key fundraiser, but when legendary author Diana Vreeland began consulting the Costume Institute, she brought a stack of celebrities to the Gala, and I come every year since. It now has a reputation for being the place where fashion designers can dress celebrities, models and, more recently, scandal-ridden influencers with the wildest possible versions of their clothing. with tables usually paid for by brands, businesses and benefactors (although there are some captain cards that are dealt each year to keep things interesting). All this we will say: the Met Gala is a huge red carpet, with nothing at the end (except for more clothes).

Panniers v bustles
Alix Gorman Time for the (gilded) age-old question: what is the difference between panniers and bustles? Guardian Australia Lifestyle author Alyx Gorman explains: So there are many varieties of Big Skirt that we are likely to see today. The sail, like Chan’s, has most of its volume on the side, and tends to consist of a series of horizontal and vertically positioned hoops to give it a perimeter (imagine a hopper hoop with hoops rotating around the arms and her waist, and then wrap her under a skirt). Meanwhile, 19th-century crinoline tends to be made only of horizontally placed hoops, sewn along the length of a skirt in different sizes, to give it a shape (imagine a hopper hoop spinning three loops around the hips, knees and her ankles).

It can have structural features like tulle to contribute to the volume or it can be made of layers and layers and layers of fabric (imagine a 1960s hive with lots of teasing). The balls were usually worn over the women’s skirt, while the sails and crinolines were underwear. Updated at 23.40 BST Note to fashion historians: Necklaces and pastels like the Bridgeton princess fall into the Regency era category – also known as not the right way for this year’s Gold Plated theme. When we listen to “Gilded Glamor” we want it all: inflatable sleeves, puffy skirts and puffy noises. There was finally a commotion. Under a tuxedo.
