Dressing for the Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual star fundraiser is often a bit of a challenge. The guests want to impress and have to be appropriate for the theme of the night – this year, the gala celebrated “superfine: black style tailoring”, a story of the black dandy.
The idea is to nail the memory and, more importantly, of not being the person whose holding causes online criticism. Some feared that celebrities will find the theme of Monday evening particularly delicate.
“I really don’t want to see Durags or pimps rods,” said Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, stylist and former world publisher of Vogue as a whole, before the event.
Lisa, the Thai singer of the K -Pop Blackpink group and a star from the last season of “The White Lotus”, found herself at the center of the discussion Monday evening after the model of her leather set – a black lace chest blazer – raised an online question.
What face is in this lace?
Blue carpet observers with Eagle eyes have noticed that the lace making up the lisa pants without pants seemed to contain a pattern of tiny complex faces.
“The lace reproduces the elements of a work of art by the American artist Henry Taylor representing portraits of figures which were part of the life of the artist,” wrote Louis Vuitton in a press release on the construction of Lisa’s outfit.
Mr. Taylor, who portrayed personalities such as Barack and Michelle Obama and the artist David Hammons, recently painted a portrait of Pharrell Williams, the creative director of Men’s Wear for Louis Vuitton, for one of the covers of the number of May de Vogue.
Mr. Williams collaborated with Mr. Taylor for his first show in Paris, embroidering miniature portraits by the artist on costumes, jackets and accessories.
