Hallo Readers,
*****************************************************************************
And now we are at the Met Gala, the annual fashion fest at the Met Museum in New York, where excess is mandatory. This year the theme was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. On the whole, most people looked utterly fantastic but WTF has found a few stinkeroos for your appalled delectation, starting with actor Janelle Monae wearing Thom Browne. Janelle kept shedding layers like an onion throughout the evening. On the steps, they wore this terrific ‘trompe l’oeil’ coat, with which WTF has no quarrel, not even with the eyeglass. It’s magnificently Magritte…..
Then they stripped off the coat inside to reveal this actual suit, and it is still excellent, save that the trousers could perhaps have been shortened to their height.
But then at the afterparty, they did this…..
Thank Heaven they were not all going out to breakfast afterwards as there is little left to take off. Put the titties away, love. No wants to see them.
Rapper Pusha T wearing Louis Vuitton custom.
The suit is terrific but he looks as if he has a catastrophic case of dandruff……
Actor Aimee Lou Wood, fresh off her triumph in The White Lotus Season 3, wearing Aluwahlia.
And although she is supposed to be at loggerheads with the actor who played her screen lover in the show, Walton Goggins, he turned up looking strangely in sync with her, wearing Thom Browne.
WTF is wondering whether this feud thing is just a ruse to whip up publicity for them in a remake of the old Judy Garland/Fred Astaire movie Easter Parade where they performed a splendid duet dressed as raggedy tramps singing ‘We’re a Couple of Swells’.
Actor Tracee Ellis Ross wearing Marc Jacobs.
Er, what happened to the proportions here? She looks like a clown doll, And since we are sending out a search party, please can they also look for Tracee’s feet?
Australian recycling billionaire Anthony Pratt. He is wearing a suit and shirt covered with his company logos. And a green bowler hat like a leprechaun on St Patrick’s Day in Chicago.
Like name, like nature. He should have recycled himself.
Model Amelia Gray Hamlin wearing Valentino.
She is wearing her thermal pants over her panties and under her lace leotard. Why? And again WTF asks why? Teams of rocket scientists are currently working around the clock to try and solve this conundrum.
And finally, actor Halle Berry wearing LaQuan Smith. Mind how you go with this one…….
MINGE!!!!!!!!!!!! MASSES OF MINGE!!!!!!!!!!!
This week’s It’s Got To Go comes from WTF aficionados various who are all up in arms at the rampant vulgarity and naffness of the David Beckham 50th birthday celebrations and of the Beckhams themselves.
In a succession of events that would make Sir Philip Green look tightfisted, David’s celebrations kicked off with a party at their Cotswold mansion, then hit a vineyard in France the next day before dining in Paris, and culminated at a £400 a head dinner at some overpriced restaurant in Notting Hill with the likes of Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay and Eva Longoria in attendance. Given that Mrs Beckham has not eaten more than a few slices of sashimi and a handful of edamame for about twenty years, and neither of Romeo’s and Cruz’s girlfriends look like they are big eaters, this seems like a serious waste of money, but then wasting money is what this lot do best. Plus all the women seem to be wearing nighties, designed – of course – by Victoria. Theories abound why the oldest son, gormless git Brooklyn Beckham and his vacuous wife, model/sort of actor/billionaire’s daughter, Nicola Peltz, boycotted the event. WTF would like to think that it was in protest of the bad taste, but that is probably wishful thinking. It’s Got to Go.
Ok Readers, that’s your lot for this week. Please keep sending in your top suggestions for It’s Got to Go as well as your comments, which WTF much enjoys. Not just that, but she pines if she does not get them. Don’t make her pine! You can follow me on @wtffashionshark.bsky.social. Let us meet again next Friday. Be good x
