So this year’s dress code theme is actually “The Garden of Time” and sleeping beauties is just the theme for the museum exhibit

 

the garden of time is literally such a beautiful theme, and yet, you already know some people are going to show up in basic gowns, basic suits, stuff that isn't botanical, floral, or spring-like at all

This is a very stunning theme and I also adore garden-themed aesthetics, just so gorgeous but florals for spring? Groundbreaking

Exactly!!! This theme is very understandable and is not very niche, so I hope that the celebrities get the theme right beacuse it's an easy chance to get creative with this! There are so many beautiful ways to get it right! 💐

there's also the deeper theme of history always repeating itself within time, so id love to see people dressing up as iconic figures in history etc!! especially the guys who are fond of suits, and have got fairly awkward themes before, they've so much room this theme. show up in as a roman emperor or something! vlad the impaler! a viking! come on!!!!! live a little  BURN THAT BLACK TUX NEOW

[Let the Light In 18,236]

“Ballard's short stories explore the same dystopian modernity as his longer fictions, and The Garden of Time is no exception. The story is about the good-looking, sophisticated Count Axel and his wife, who live in a beautiful villa full of rare books, fine paintings, busts and vases. They live a decadent life on their beautiful estate, which includes an exquisite pool and garden. But outside the walls, the landscape is empty as far as the eye can see – until an unruly rabble appears in the distance. Each time Count Axel cuts a flower from his garden, however, time spools back, and the brutish mass recedes behind the hills.

 

But a long time has passed since plants last bloomed, and the Count is reduced to cutting the very last of his flowers to hold back the mob. When their garden is bare, he and his wife carefully put away their books, their music and all the treasures of their civilised life, preparing for it to come to an abrupt end.

 

The vivid, thought-provoking short story is often seen to act as a metaphor for the evolution of human history and the endless cycle of creation and destruction — a theme clearly mirrored in The Met's Sleeping Beauties exhibition.”

the story is kind of melancholic, really and the human history has really shown us the endless cycle of creation and destruction and while i get the message that dystopian and apocalyptic horrors are destroying the nature, it's hypocritical of the met to invite multi-billionare entrepreneurs like jeff bezos and elon musk who are actively "developing" that dystopian lifestyle and also what's funny is that the honorary chair of this year's met gala is the ceo of tiktok  with tiktok being the main sponsor, like where is the world heading???

They're both such Lana themes. I hope she and her team are willing to work around the idea of decay and ressurection rather than focus on the base level floral aspect

i could see Lana in something like this:

 

but maybe something more ombre/gradient with darker, muted flowers and colors at the bottom of the dress to match the theme more

obviously i love the met gala since we get to see really cool fashions, but they are literally such clowns for basing their theme off of a story about a dystopian, capitalist society that destroys everything beautiful and good while inviting people who are literally doing just that? just more evidence that hollywood and the mainstream media love to virtue signal while doing the opposite of what they supposedly stand for

i also love met gala because of fashion but sadly, now it stands for money and money only - entertainment business and media's clickbaits. they're making art into a joke which just pumps money for them

[rightofjupiter 16,323]

Just thinking how I’d love to see her in Schiaparelli or Rodarte….

i almost think anna wintour enjoys that. she very much is a laugh at the peasants kind of person, the devil wears prada is based on her  

[Embach 36,492]

this isn't unpredictable tho but i did think about her wearing zimmermann at the met. their dresses have many flower patterns idk lol.

schiaparelli x lana would be a great combo out of all the unexpected collab predictions tho! 

[Lanaparadiserey 22,801]

If Lana is going, I think she’ll wear Dolce or Vivienne for sure since they recently made her custom looks.

[SalvaWHORE 33,709]

Lana Del Rey is the only one i care about... i dont give a flying f about anyone else. LANA PLEASE BE THERE 

[paradisetropico 7,752]

etienne posting his lil video with Trio Interlude playing was a choice … 

[Beautiful Loser 47,829]

Aaahhhh Etienne in New York and chose Lana’s music for his reel, I hope this means Lana is attending and he’ll give her the most stunning makeup everrrr
