"Despite a general failure to understand the “Fashion Is Art” theme, the glammy, celebrity-packed red carpet was nonetheless full of outrageous designs, and the roster of primo A-list talent - ranging from Chase Infiniti to Bad Bunny - was top-tier. There were massive looks and major flops (both necessary for a successful function) and, as always, some big surprises."
"Take, for instance, Public School creative directors Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow. The duo designed one of the looks of the night, an upcycled, cropped velvet jacket and trousers with obscenely curvy portions for model Wisdom Kaye. It was essentially a robo-abstraction of the human silhouette. Curiously, they also donned their own form-fitting tailoring and custom-made Timberland boots."
"Osborne and Chow weren't alone. The outsized red carpet presence from the designers behind some of the night's biggest looks was a notable standout. The attendance of high-ranking creatives from historic maisons and legacy design houses is nothing new or even special. Luxury brands notoriously sponsor the event. Hotshot designers and industry veterans - names even a fashion layman would recognize, like Tom Ford and Thom Browne - have an active hand in the machinations of the exhibition and the Met itself, often as co-chairs, and are invited back annually as routine guests of the Gala."
"If anything, there's a storied legacy of designers and their muses walking the red carpet together, with the latter often dressed in the former's yearly showstopper.

The Met Gala produced a strong overall result, featuring a celebrity-heavy red carpet with dramatic, outrageous designs and notable surprises. Confusion about the “Fashion Is Art” theme was widespread, yet the event still showcased major looks and major flops. Public School creative directors Maxwell Osborne and Dao-Yi Chow created an upcycled cropped velvet jacket and trousers with exaggerated curves for model Wisdom Kaye, described as a robo-abstraction of the human silhouette. Osborne and Chow also wore their own form-fitting tailoring and custom-made Timberland boots. Designer presence was especially prominent, including high-ranking creatives from historic maisons and legacy houses, with examples such as Tom Ford and Thom Browne. The tradition of designers and their muses walking together continued, including Tom Ford creative director Haider Ackermann and Teyana Taylor.
