What were the highlights of the Met Gala?
Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to the show. I'm Trevor Noah. Let's kick things off. Yesterday was the Met Gala. It's Party City on LSD. And this year, the looks were as wild as ever.
The Met Gala began with a bang from the Brooklyn United Marching Band, and from there, the steps became a who's who of fashion, movies, and music. The theme is celebrating American fashion, and these guests understood the assignment. Hosts Billie Eilish and Naomi Osaka stunned in their larger-than-life outfits, and Lil Nas X shut down the steps with his costume changes.
We asked, what does it mean to be two working-class women showing up to the Met? And so we decided if we're going to do it, we're going to send a message. That's great.
Even Mayor de Blasio made his first appearance. Red, white, and blue were the colors of the night, as was anything sparkly, with the exception of Kim Kardashian, who came in all black everything.
Okay, I don't care what anybody says, man. You know you've killed the game when you can step out covered head to toe and everyone still recognizes you. Shit, I don't even recognize some of my friends when they're wearing a mask, but Kim Kardashian climbs up the stairs looking like a video game character you haven't unlocked yet, and we're all like, I'd know that shape anywhere! It's Kim! Yeah, it's Kim! And there were so many amazing outfits last night, you know? Erykah Badu came looking like an astronaut at a funeral. Dan Levy came as an angry throw pillow. Oh, and this one was one of my favorites. Kevin Hart, he brought a life-size doll of Frank Ocean. I mean, that was genius. I didn't even think that... Wait, that's not the... Oh, shit, my bad.
And this is what I love about the Met Gala, right? Is that it brings America together. Black, white, Republican, Democrat, no matter your sexual orientation, people switch on their TVs and they all say, what the are they wearing? And don't get me wrong, I love the Met Gala. I'm not even trying to act like I hate. I love the Met Gala because it's not about looking good, it's about looking different, you know? It's the only party you can show up to in a cardboard box with the word butthole written on it, and people will be like, oh my God, yes, I need more of that in my life, oh my God! But if you show up in a beautiful tailored tuxedo, everyone's like, get that corny shit out of here! Bring back the guy in the butthole box! And remember this entire event, this entire event is a fundraiser. I saw a lot of people talking trash like, oh, what is this bullshit? Why are these people doing? It's a fundraiser that makes it possible to keep admission into the Metropolitan Museum of Art free for residents. And I for one think that's really important. You know?
Because you can't be charging people money to look at art. I mean, have you seen art? Art is weird. It's all, like, naked angel babies and pieces of twisted metal and people looking at that stuff going, oh, yes, I see. Oh, I see. I'm not paying for that shit.
Oh, welcome to CP Time, the only show that's for the culture. Today, we'll be discussing black contributions to fashion. Normally, when we think about black fashion, we think about church hats so big they block your view of Jesus. Or we think about those suits that Steve Harvey wears that hog all the buttons. Leave some buttons for the rest of us, Steve. They're keeping my clothes together with staples. But in actuality, the world of fashion has been filled with influential and iconic African-American designers. Like our first trailblazer, Zeldawin Valdez, who was one of the first designers whose clothing accentuated women's curves. Before her, women's fashion covered up their figures with big-ass skirts the size of a Carnival cruise ship.
Women would get lost just bending over to tie their shoes. Zelda's curve-flawing designs were so popular that Hugh Hefner asked her to design the iconic outfit for the Playboy bunnies. I never went to the Playboy mansion myself because I was married and I also have a severe phobia of rabbits. You never know where rabbits are hiding.
