Met Gala 2023 Presented By Me

With this year's theme being "in honor of Karl Lagerfeld", a fashion designer whom I'm learning from the fashion community is "ew", lets see what we got:

~The Models~

-Rihanna being fashionably late, wearing an egg?-like top that opens to reveal a simple yet beautiful dress (she's got a baby bump!); the "no shit" was iconic honestly

-Jared Leto fursuit (its cause he was dressing as Lagerfeld's cat)

-Harvey Guillen coming through with a lovely floral suit, I'm not usually one for light pink but his was very pretty

-Who let Lil Nas X have access to the arts and crafts box (but he looked stunning, the mask was gorgeous and he's got more confidence than most to pull off what I'm now calling a Full Bedazzle)

-Kristen Stewart going full butch queer, the eyebrows and hair were rugged inspired and most didn't like it but I think that was the point?

-Pedro Pascal and his knee against the world (as well as spreading the red is superior agenda cause it is)

-^ but with Salma Hayek cause holy shit this is the red agenda

-Bryan Tyree Henry continuing to remind me how much my taste in men has improved over the years because he is so fucking fine ANYWAY-

-Lizzo giving me feminine gender envy despite the odds

-Janelle Monae doing a Janelle Monae as is customary (I'd love to know what the inspo was for her if so let me know!)

-Bella Ramsey you are so gender thank you (and they served too, the Thom Browne suit with the white accents is simple yet very classy)

-Every year I give one (1) free pass for a man to wear a standard suit, this year goes to Ke Huy Quan because I couldn't say anything bad about him if I tried (at least he had some style, the fingerless gloves were cool)

-Obligatory Gwendoline Christie was there and existed comment by me because I am in love and I am not ashamed of it

-Florence Pugh's fit had mixed reactions, the shaved head, headdress and white dress look were really good but I think the way the dress came out had people not fully digging it, I can understand but I'll appreciate it nonetheless

-Anne Hathaway in all her fuzzy glory (the hair's a beehive on a very felted dress but like it worked? marks for originality and being able to pull it off)

-Loved Stephanie Hsu's bedazzled suit, won't be able to stop thinking about it actually

-Tems was stunning, I'm a huge fan of the floating leaves design we need more nature-inspired looks

-Olivier Rousteing and Jeremy pope slaying with their "Karl who?" and cape apparel

-Gotta shout out Yara Shahidi for going with something unique, the pearl's color palette works surprisingly better than I expected with the gold (personally I would have more gold trim in the top half but that's just me)

-Let Lady Gaga's outfit for the Met Gala this year be a lesson in misinformation because the pictures circulating Tumblr are not in fact from the 2023 Met, she didn't attend (it is a stunning outfit though)

-Jenna Ortega looking almost like a dapper pirate in the absolute best way possible the gender envy the style I am going insane

-Doja Cat living up to her name (Cats should take notes honestly the makeup was really good. She also kept answering reporter questions by meowing. Because she's Doja. Anyway.)

-Anok Yai's dress reminds me of those ornate beaded lampshades, I wonder if that's where she/her designer got the idea

-Emily Blunt giving me gay panic once again WHY IS SHE SO GORGEOUS (she's got a giant fucking bow tie that's what clowns wear why is she able to pull it off this is so unfair)

-Conan Gray looked like an actual prince I am obsessed

-I saw someone said Cardi B was giving goth Barbie and that is honestly the best way to describe it

-Yung Miami having a beautiful look cause her outfit was underrated this year

-I thought Emily Blunt and Bryan Tyree Henry were all I had to worry about and then Julia Garner came in with a steel chair

-Ella Fanning's look captivating me specifically

-And cause I can't comment on every person or we'd be here all day, go check out the underrated outfits from Amanda Seyfried, Alton Mason, Glenn Close, Sora Choi, Ava Max, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi and many more!

~Final Thoughts~

-The palette this year was very black and white... literally. Lots of outfits in black, white, or both. I'm not really into the fashion community so I wouldn't know but I'm guessing its a signature theme of Lagerfeld's? Let me know! I'm always down to learn more about other communities and their history

-I'm also assuming Lagefeld's got a thing for flowers cause there were a lot of flowers imbedded into the outfits, they looked lovely~

-As well as long flowy dress/coat tops cause there were a lot, and I loved how people mixed it in with the flowers. Lots of the men did it this year and it looked fantastic

-Speaking of, I'm proud of the men for actually dressing up this year omfg its insane how many male celebrities will go to a literal fashion event and pull up with nothing but a plain ass suit and though most of them this year did wear suits, there was much pizazz. Like, actual life put into those outfits. So yeah, you love to see it

-Overall, a very nice Met Gala. The crazy stuff came from the usual people who go all out, and we got plenty of highlights from people who embraced the theme, with the occasional unique look to really stick it out

Thank for reading and see you all next fashion event!

#ive been making more commentary posts lately #i usually dont get into stuff like this #but I've been enjoying looking at the outfits cause who doesn't #and that's led me more to actually learning about the themes and designers #I think I'll keep up this tradition #met gala #met gala 2023 #karl lagerfeld #review

New art alert!

(Obligatory comment about how I'm an art page but mostly shitpost and have yet to follow up on the thumbnails from my last art thing)

Those are the progress shots^^

(Image one is a digital drawing, pink outline on white background. A person with shaved hair, a full body shot, head-on, cartoony style. They have a choker and a set of pearls, a long shirt with thumb holes and fishnet rights layered under a ruffle tank top and skirt set with chunky arm and leg warmers and platform high- top sneakers (one has a star logo and the other a heart) and one "F" earring and one "Y" earring. Image two is the same drawing colored in with a variety of pinks on the outfit with the undershirt gray and the skin a light peach. All the shadow areas are colored in solid blue. Their eyes are an unrealistic teal color )

I tried to do a self portrait with clowncore type outfit inspo after seeing some out of fashion ruffly shirts while out. The ruffles are modeled off my memory of a shirt I used to own. I'm pretty proud of the fishnet pattern and I worked really hard on the color scheme.

I didn't really like the arm warmers on this one initially, and thinking back it isn't that bad. The reasoning was that it didn't accomplish what I wanted as far as achieving a cohesive clowncore outfit, the areas with volume and color are balanced at this point, but only the fishnets really bring texture to the look unlike real knitted arm warmers.

(The blue shadow is sheer, actually putting those areas in shadow. Highlight areas are erased from the color layer. A cream background, eye highlights, and the initials JM combined are added.)

This was my attempt to fix the aforementioned "issue" it isn't really any better or worse in my opinion. If It's made out without arm warmers at first, I may have tried a fuller skirt, but I don't really know if it'd look as good that way.

The signature is a new one In trying out, combining the initials of the names I'd like to use irl.

I tried a new strategy of highlighting on this piece that I've seen on a lot of toh fanart recently of erasing the highlight areas from the color layer. The only highlight that's on top of the sheet pink layer is the eye highlights.

(The same drawing without the pink arm warmers. )

bonus art!!

(The background has been replaced with college lined paper from the original sketch. The outlines of the arm warmers peak out from behind since this version is lacking them.)

Your old art is great no matter what you think, I will always look up to your art no matter how old. Of course you have developed your style and made it look a hundred times better but my point still stands, also what’s some of your advice for someone not very happy with their art style? How can I get it to a consistency I’m happy with?

(/;-;)/💖 ur so sweet ily ( still my old art makes me cringe je)Heeey dont worry, we artist constantly get in conflict with out style, pretty sure u know that too, really it sounds like bullshit but everyday drawing is the best wy u know? But hey dont do it as an obligation! Do it becaus u have fun drawing, because u entertain urself, not like a homework! Just maybe search for inspo, ur fave artists and if u like how one does eyes! Then hey u try do that type of eyes or how other artist colours? Or does lineart or does anatomy or whatever it is that inspires u from that artist, re do it urself! Artstyles arent 100% unique, artstyles are the combinations of art pieces and inspos and other artstyles that artist likes and ofcourse a bit of themselves!So when i say practice everyday (obviously thats not obligatory just draw when u feel like it!), just be sure to draw for u, have fun! Do it bcause u like it not because u feel obligated to! This shit gonna sound cliché but, u know art is about u expressing urself and let ur ideas and thoughts, characters, concepts, worlds flow!Buena suerteee

the pose 💐 ok ~ even though she is super smol in this picture, my next #pride #inspo shout out is BIG & goes to none other than @audreygatewood ! as a fellow fairy of cameraland, audrey is featured in my art devotion a LOT, so lemme tell you why. before working w/ audrey, i *really* aint know how to pose. it was a mystery to me & because of that i had less & less pictures of myself that weren't selfie-style. building that practice & working that muscle has put me in a totally different realm, never before seeing myself as a 'model'. i could easily argue that without audrey there'd be no foundation for/existence of chrysantilus. i've gotten so much out of her direction in video-form as well. i've learned to think of my posing practice as fluid, moving, psychedelic, versus just *pose* *pose* *obligatory pose* ~ but most importantly meaningful! this mindset informs literally so much of my realm & i am able to incorporate it into better directing fairies in front of my ownnn camera. attitude-wise audrey has taught me so much in the world of 'fck it, move on!' which is a necessity & tool i use on an everyday basis. she is a comrade in creation. a devotee of direction. a majestic muse. tysm audrey . . . #fanart #friendship #pride #pose #posing #chrysantilus #audrey #audreygatewood #friendshipgoals💕 #rainbow #rainbows #cameraland #photography #musicvideos #modeling #models #mindset #creation #baltimorephotographer #bmorephotographer #shoutout #bunny #appreciation (at Chrysantilus) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiqMX2B0HQ/?igshid=1pe74mibz40yv
