Much like Rihanna, Solange Knowles cares. Solange cares about fashion, she cares about the theme, she cares about the Met Gala. And because Beyonce probably spent the night quietly gestating with the Wonder Twins, Solange was the only Knowles woman at the 2017 Met Gala. She had to represent the whole family. And did she do the Knowles family justice in this Thom Browne… dress? Are we calling this a dress? It’s not a dress. It’s a puffy ski coat. Is this fashion? Is this avant-garde? Or is this just… odd? Like, I’m sure Solange had many reasons why she wore this and why it’s on-theme but mostly I just think… damn, she could have done something really cool with the theme and this is just a wasted opportunity.
Halle Berry wore Versace. At first glance, I thought this was just a standard gown with a crazy train. But no! She’s wearing pants! This Versace is actually a jumpsuit/catsuit… with a crazy train. Halle’s interpretation – or Donatella’s interpretation – of the theme was “pants with a sculptural element.” And I don’t hate it. I kind of wish Halle had done her big hair, like she did at the Oscars.
