Style, Selfies, & Sarah Paulson: #MetGala 2017

After Monday night's annual #MetGala, the internet took Twitter and other media outlets by storm, racing to define which celebrities had made the cut for the 2017 ~hot list~ and which ones...not so much.

Fans were particularly supportive of Rihanna and Zendaya's looks for the night (both pictured above) while other celebrities (*ahem* Katy Perry) did not fair as well.

In addition to the array of couture ensembles, the notion of celebrities as spectacle was certainly on display. Despite the Met's fervent attempts to enforce a 'no-selfie' rule, Kylie Jenner charged right ahead, iPhone in hand, and was ready to capture a star-studded moment in the restroom. Kim, Kendall, Paris Jackson, P Diddy, Frank Ocean, and ASAP Rocky were only some of the Hollywood vetted subjects of the photo, which has now been compared to Ellen's 2014 Oscar Selfie.

But even after the parade of glamour and glitz, at the end of the day, we're lucky enough to have Sarah Paulson to remind us celebrities are usually just like anybody else. Even an Emmy Award Winner sometimes freak out when their idol enters the room.

  1. On the red carpet, Rihanna said the dress was super easy to get into, but the shoes took her an hour!
    Katy Perry's outfit has been met with almost unanimously bad reviews - I do think she looks like sacrilegious Po (from Telly Tubbies).
    The avant-garde theme of the Met Gala was difficult to play well, but I think Rihanna and Katy Perry deserve props for trying.
    Some stars liked Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid looked stunning, but they looked the very opposite of the Commes des Garcon aesthetic, wearing Versace and Alexander Wang.
