![]() ![]() Those faithful followers were more than happy to “turn the fuck up” in order to provide Rocky with the energy he needed to get through his performance last night. The 26-year-old rapper from Harlem, New York might claim to have his own relationship with God, but it’s no secret that he also maintains his own cult. The most exciting part is that’s it’s still beginning, and the best has very much yet to come with this once in a generation talent.Ī$AP Rocky was perched at the top of a three-story church pleading with the “Holy Ghost” as his millennial choir echoed his prayers back at him. Working with the Mob gave him all the exposure he needed to achieve the astonishing feats he’s reached in his seven year music career. One he and his mother moved to New Jersey, he joined the nascent A$AP Mob, and the rest, they say, is history. This led to a long period of homelessness, where he and his mother would move from shelter to shelter and by 15, Rocky was selling Crack Cocaine to get by. However, when he was twelve his father was sent to jail on drugs charges, a year later his older brother, who taught him how to rap, was murdered. Every rapper needs to have a “rags to riches” story to be taken seriously these days and Rocky’s is a doozy.īorn in Harlem, New York City, Hip Hop was a part of Rocky’s DNA from the start he was named after Rakim from East Coast legends Eric B. The term “he has the world at his feet” was seemingly coined for him and his collective, the A$AP Mob, and fewer artists have earned the right to success quite like he has. At a mere 26 years of age he’s already one of the hottest rappers in the world, a prolific producer, an experienced director, head of his own record label (ASAP Worldwide) and not to mention his own clothing line. Now, after all of that negativity, lets dig into the looks that left me in awe from head to toe.I’m going to assume that most musicians would kill for the career that Rocky has had. I feel the terribleness of this piece speaks for itself.ĪSAP Rocky (AKA Captain crunch), Lily Rose Depp in Chanel, CL in Alexander Wang, Anja Rubik in Saint Laurent I do like the pattern of the waist and the shoes, but again, that is me grasping for any positive thing about this horrid look. From the overly long, Rapunzel-esque braid to the literal plastic horse sticking out of her chest, this look does not register as high fashion at all. But, if she had any other hopes, she has undeniably failed. So while my American Girl doll would rock this look, it is far from fitting at the most high end fashion event of the year.Īssuming that Petras was aiming to bring the “horse girl” joke to the next level at the Met Gala, she succeeded. This outfit is childish, and while Met Gala looks should be loud, it must also be tasteful, which this is not. And at the Met Gala, those are two things you do not want your look to be compared to. I was also reminded of a pink ombre shirt I had from Justice. And while the choice to pick the WORST five was truly difficult, here are my least favorite looks of the 2021 Met Gala:Īfter seeing this look, I had a flashback to my close elementary friend's bedroom when we were younger, who had a zebra ceiling and hot pink walls. There were tons of really ugly outfits on the Met Gala’s 2021 red carpet. Everyone looks beautiful.īeauty: Do I want to wear this dress? Does it combine art with clothes, as the Met Gala should? (50%)Ĭreativity: Is this dress exciting? Does it fit the theme? Do I have questions about this piece? (30%)Īccessories: How is the hair? Makeup? Shoes? Jewelry? Do the accessories add or take away from the quality of the look? (20%) Also, this is not a negative review on the physicality of ANY one of these celebrities, simply their outfits. My only qualifications are that I watched the Met Gala and am a major Project Runway fan. Instead of hosting a group of A-list celebrities like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Zendaya Coleman, and Katie Perry, the Met Gala replaced them with social media influences like Addison Rae, Dixie Damelio, Madison Beer, and Nikkietutorials, each of them arriving with slightly more underwhelming outfits.Īnd with that, let's dig into the worst and best looks of the 2021 Met Gala.ĭisclaimer: I am not at all qualified to write this piece. This is not to say there were not some incredible stand-ups that left viewers in awe, but as a general consensus, the show was a let down. Another issue with the 2021 Met Gala was the attendees. The theme, “In America a Lexicon of Fashion,” led to the pieces being either unnecessary political statements or a complete disregard of the theme. ![]() ![]() After a year and a half break from practically all classic social events due to COVID-19, the Met Gala is back, and while for dramatic effect it would be nice to say “and better than ever,” that would be a lie. ![]()
