- Met Gala: Baffling Outfits and Big Money | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The Met Gala is one of the most elite fashion events of the year. The Gala was held in New York this week and about 400 guests were in attendance. But eventually, the Gala turned into a showcase of baffling outfits. It saw strange outfits made of sand and flowers, which fuelled memes and viral moments. But the Met Gala is less about fashion and more about money. It is a money-making machine in fashion. This year's event raised about $26 million, which is more than double of what the event raised a decade ago. And now, the Met Gala is being criticised for being disconnected from the real world. Palki Sharma brings you the report.

This shows the met complete disconnect from the outside world!😂😂😂😂
Too much of anything is good for nothing. This is not art or creativity, complete hallucinations.
If u want to display creativity. Do it as a display model without involving people. When u say it is a dress and u can't walk with it, it's ridiculous. No one looks comfortable wearing them .
This is completely ridiculous. The MET Gala is held to raise funds for MET's costume exhibit. Its a fashion event and if you dont like the clothes, you can withhold indulging in conversation regarding the event. It is a FUNDRAISER so making money is literally its purpose. And the money is contributed towards fashion.....it goes towards fashion preservation and restoration. While a lot of the outfits were not creative, that doesn't take away from the ones that were. Fashion is art and is not always meant to be practical. And while you may criticise the outfits, there are a lot of people who get employed to work on that piece of clothing. Take Alia Bhatt's saree for example. It took 1905 hours to create and must have employed many skilled karigars. Above all, like sports, the MET is a big event for all those who take interest in fashion. Fashion is a hobby and having a journalism piece on it is just honestly ridiculous.
😂😂
Exactly. And what exactly is outside world. Is fashion not a part of the world? Fashion is an art, same as music or dance. It is also a business industry.
75 000 per a ticket though? I think ppl are just sick of the displays of opulence not the promotion fashion itself.
💯
And racism was at it's peak. The way these left side photographers beginning of the stairs snubbed Sabyasachi Mukherjee, they literally were laughing at him, discussing how they don't even know him. And quickly shouted by saying THANK YOU, it means you may go now so that they can capture Lea Michele who was just next to Sabyasachi. It shows how they treats every brown skin people. It was visible. If you see their live arrivals you will definitely get this. It's not only with Sabyasachi but they did the same with other brown people too. And you know what Just lack of awareness brought us to these. Forget about White Celebrities(which are rational) but Indian goes gaga over white people even roaming like a homeless in indian street. But the fact is white american only cares about either white or black(after decades of protest). And it needless to mention how much racial attack we indian are facing on our everyday life almost everypart of the so called developed countries including such a widely popular Canada! Let us take this matter seriously and we must act like Black community, today they are being heard because of their courageous nature and strong bonding with each other.
Indian paps did the same with Penelope Cruz at NMACC event , it's less bout hate, more about which pictures sell from a photographer and who people want to see . Idiot .
Ik you are right. They were racist to Outsiders ( Asians)
Stay out of American People's culture. Worry about you're own country
Then why do Indians go there. If you have backbone, then sit back in bollywood
the fact this is what people find important in life is a serious proof of humanity falling more apart and no one souls getting wiser. why bother if this all people want status and money.
World is always like this just narrative changed. Peoples will keep killing eachother because humans are also animal. Period
Not met gala...it should be madness gala....all dumbs met gala😂😂
As usual Vanity placed way above Life's Reality.
Humanity is doomed!
How can you show up to a fashion event in a mosquito net with tree branches in it😢😂
Not everyone understands art, its just not everyone's cup of tea. Very disappointed in Palki for critiquing a field that she clearly has little to no knowledge on. Fashion isn't always about practicality, its also about showcasing art and months and years of hardwork goes into it! She did this one just for the views. Very distasteful indeed!
Is it me or is art starting to be associated with opulence and being a hobby of the privileged? Cus it's starting to feel that way
Hunger games vibes
Something is really wrong. Specially with the rich society. It seems like they are sold out to the dark to keep up the luxury and lavish life.
That is true
They sold their inner souls for money and lavish life.
Their bodies and souls are cheap that's why they easily sold .
Now i agree that ...Urfi Javed is much better this 😂😂😂.....sry urfi we misunderstood u till this happen.
Idk why mete gala gets so much hate its a fashion event to raise money its all about money what will it achieve to recognise the outside world what they have to do "connect to the real world" 😂😂😂
Well, the media has some role in perpetuating the issue. The media is not forced to cover the event
Are you kidding me! This report shows how disconnected and disinterested the reporters are in describing the garments and what meaning it holds.
if their garments are that meaingful, why do they wear it only at the met! Even there they look
irrational wearing it.
@@vedauntapandey7639 It's art!! The sand dress was so beautiful and it was meant as an exhibition...a display of art! Not regular outfits we wear for comfort. It's literally no different than paintings, only that we exhibit fashion on our bodies! Although it's true that the people taking part are privileged, their outfits still contribute to art which is history and culture. If people want to do something interesting with their life, others shouldn't have a problem with it.
If u want to display creativity. Do it as a display model without involving people. When u say it is a garment and u can't walk with it, it's ridiculous. No one looks comfortable wearing them .
We don't understand fashion.....
The wet t shirt you are telling.....just search what it refers and.... Your mosquito net is perfect for the event.... Cause that represents harsh winter and flowering just one rose
And the sand dress it represents timeeeee..........
It's not to look good... It's art it has to be striking....
I would love if you do research on this then make this video.....
Exactly! I don’t understand why these journalists with clearly Zero knowledge of fashion are trying to make head and tail of it? Like stick to your journalism and reporting pls cuz you clearly don’t understand art. Lmao ridiculing other fields and praising only conventional fields of science/doctors is such boomer behaviour istg
If u want to display creativity. Do it as a display model without involving people. When u say it is a dress and u can't walk with it, it's ridiculous. No one looks comfortable wearing them .
@@shaksheedigitalmarketing it's not dress that you wear to be comfortable.... it's art like wearing a canvas... And people talk about this because it's unique........ and some of the dress had displayed on models then they make changes and all depending upon on their requirements.
It's not a place where you wear a comfortable clothing you show your art for 15-20 minutes then u can change
@@shaksheedigitalmarketing art can be displayed in a quadrillion ways, who are you or we to tell them to not 'involve' people? Besides, Met Gala is one event that is not about practicality, the outfits are SUPPOSED to be super extravagant, its a display of the fashion designers' creativity and art and not just fashion!
You are an amazing journalist Palki, and this channel is one of the best in India for legitimate news, but please don't make such videos and spread an ill narrative about things that might make others happy, or the things others are passionate about. Yes, I am talking about fashion! This event is one of the biggest nights in the fashion world, where creativity blooms and all the boundaries are shattered. It gives hope to young designers, stylist, fashion enthusiasts and fashion commentators to dream and get inspired. Everybody knows what is happening in the outside world, but this doesn't give anyone any right to target an event or a group of people. I guess the UN should be questioned, they should be targeted and asked to what they have done and why is that institution still standing on the corpse of the dead!
Well said.
All a cry for attention. Very sad
Sand one is unbelievable, like why even
lol because “devil wears parada”
Clearly the fashion vocabulary of the writer of this show is poor along with the poor understanding of fashion industry or clothing business tbh.
It wasn’t sand dress , may be sculpted in some way…
It wasn’t mosquito net, it was a costume by McQueen (and I am sure, least he would have used is butterfly net and not mosquito net) 😒
And “wet T-shirt” wasn’t really wet, it was a fabrication technique done by a designer where dresses look wet without being wet.
But I would agree that it was a shit show . lol
And given the theme…. Quite ironic and on point at the same time .
It’s a master piece of Olivier Rousteing from Balmain . Sand from hourglass
Asoka make-up challenge, popular in Philippines & Indonesia Tiktokers, feels more exciting & interesting than boring MET. lol.
News reporters using the phrase "Pun Intended" is not something I'm familiar with😂
Indeed Met Gala is always an exception
"Turning the page from Ecclesiastes to Song of Solomon.." 😭😭😭😭😭 just as I just actually finished Ecclesiastes and I'm about to start Song of Solomon 😭 I am howling! That comment is so accurate I can't deal😂😂😂 from winter to spring!
Hunger Games 2024
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Palki's Honesty
Exactly it's less about fashion more about money 😂✨✔️💯.
The "Turning the page from Ecclesiastes to Song of Solomon" comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how you make your points
Outstanding 😊😊
All I can see is poor Palki Sharma dying of humiliation on screen from having to cover this crap on here channel😂😂 Her face is literally praying fror the cameraman to just cut😂😂😂
The commentary is so honestly hilarious 😂
Stop criticizing art. This shouldn't be under the purview of your journalism.
Expression is subjective. It cannot conform to someone else's idea of what's normal.
I am amazed Palki has chosen to speak on this topic.
every year palki's journalism if one can even call it that grows more insidious...
Journalism doesn't cover met gala???
Really?
You can have a different point of view, but atleast be logical.
@@seersound1 true, especially the Voice Over in the segment.
"men did, what they do best, wear coats"
and then went on it comparing fashion with Mosquito nets.
Sounded like an Indian aunty criticizing chote kapde in the name of journalism.
@@kritikarathi808As far as i know, journalism is stating facts and not imposing opinions.
This entire segment sounded like an art/expression's criticism, of which i am against because this topic is subjective and a person will either be Ok with it or not.
At best, they could have spoken about the fashion designers, hours put by them, countries from where the items were sourced and the usage of the funds raised.
That's my take.
@tamanna_RedLavender
You are quick to point out journalists but not fashion designers.
Art has been reduced to killing the whole purpose of the object.
Clothes were invented to cover body.. not to make you blind or make you loose mobility or make you handicapped..
When you are privileged enough, when real world problems end, illusionary problems begin...and now a days its put under the carpet of ART.
What the sense of having a beautiful expensive car which can't run??
If you are rich and hav fame, your garbage is an art and will be sold in billions.. dress made of meat and what not are glorified..
And underdeveloped countries and people are looked down upon.. often face racists remarks..
Hypocrisy of privileged people!!!
It's a shame what has Palki now reduced to.
yeup instead of a reporter she just feels like any other youtube podcaster covering every sensational issue to scoop views. And this video really was the icing. She clearly doesn't know what she's talking about
Very right so!
Some were really very creative, appreciate the work behind it. But, still raising so much money for what cause?
I love how this woman talks
She is always on point 😂😂😂
I wish I could go there in shorts and have a feel like celeb do 😂😂
Like someone said it is Mental gala
Best description of what this sh!t was about 😂😂😂
yall should just mind your business who said celebs have to live how we want they have a life let them live their lives n mind ur business n make ur own money n donate
Wow…I thought you just reported the news…the facts..that’s it! I didn’t know this was Op-ed news! So we are clear, I love how you critic the US government. I always thought it was fair. However, THIS segment of reporting was very biased and extremely judgmental. You missed an opportunity to highlight Mindy Kaling, who was STUNNING & her Indian designer Gaurav Gupta!
Fashion is ART…you don’t have to like it, but shall RESPECT IT!
I love watching your show!! Let’s stick to the news and facts around the World plz🙏🏾 & leave your biases at the door 🚪
I am not offended by your response, however I do think it’s a bold take. You're basically saying fashion shouldn't exist unless it's a mobility aid for supermodels. Maybe we should all just wear overalls and sensible shoes from now on? Come on! 🤣
Look, I get it, comfort is key. But fashion is about pushing boundaries, sparking conversation, and yes, sometimes even being a little outrageous. It's like a giant, glamorous museum exhibit you can walk through not everyone will love every piece, but that's the point!
Besides, who decides what's "beautiful" anyway? One person's ball gown is another's bedazzled torture device. Isn't that the beauty (or shall we say, the subjectivity) of art?
And as for the "real world inspiration," let's be real. Most people wouldn't dare wear a head-to-toe hot dog costume to the grocery store (unless they're going for a Halloween hot dog costume award, which, hey, more power to them!). The Met Gala, however, is more about fantasy and celebrating fashion as an art form, NOT a how-to guide for everyday wear.
Relax, let people have their avant-garde moments. Fashion can be fun, even if it involves a little temporary blindness or the inability to walk normally. Besides, isn't that what assistants are for? 🤣
P.S. Thanks for reminding me why I love watching the news - for the unbiased reporting, of course! 😉
@@kritikarathi808 Whoa there, let's not get too ruffled about feathers and nipple stickers! 🤣 Art can definitely be subjective, but that doesn't mean it's all a rich-people playground.
Think about it - from cave paintings to protest music, art has always been a way to push boundaries and make a statement. Just like those incredibly detailed Mughal garments - totally impractical for everyday wear, but a stunning representation of wealth and artistry at the time.
The Met Gala is kind of the same. It's a chance for designers to be outrageous, spark conversations, and maybe even get their work featured in a news report... unbiased or not 😂
Now, I hear you on practicality. Clothes should definitely, well, clothe you. But art can be more than just function. Yes, having your vision obstructed due the statement piece is a form of art. Look up John Goodman, he did a runway look with full headwear that covered the models eyes. Fashion is art. I wouldn’t be the first or the last to wear that but just bc I don’t like doesn’t mean it’s not art. That is the overarching point here! Art can make us think, feel, and question things, even if the reporter seems to have a case of the side-eye.
Maybe the next Met Gala theme can be 'Truth in Fashion,' where designers create pieces that challenge beauty standards and promote inclusivity. That would be a conversation starter, and maybe a reporter or two would take positive notice!
In the end, we SHOULD be able to appreciate different forms of art, even if they're not to our taste.
Peace out!
If u want to display creativity and art,then. Do it as a display model without involving people. When u say it is a dress and u can't walk with it, it's ridiculous. No one looks comfortable wearing them .
@@shaksheedigitalmarketing that’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. I would also challenge you to go beyond a news headline and look up the history of the Met. If you had done so, you would know Many of those wild outfits eventually end up on display at the Met itself, becoming part of fashion history.
Did Ufri join met Gala 😂😂
no india is bad at promoting talents. who knows she could bring india pride .
This viewer loves the idea of having World Class Jazz & Pop Vocalist - Ms. Angelina Jordan to serve on the 2025 Met Gala as New Board Member,!!! "So Elegant & Stunning"
Every year, millions are raised, so what is some with the money?
Such an irony!! Baffling news, big money!!
The Hunger games is back
Not gonna lie, out of all of them Alia looked the prettiest. I wonder if she won best dressed, or they gave it to some absurd outfit
Lmfao Mona Patel's was the best, go look her up. Alia's was the most heavily critisized online. Not only was it an extremely underwhelming sari that looked like a rip off version of Katrina's sari but her Mounjulika ass hairdo really made her a meme
@@itsnotme2575 I saw Mona Patel's outfit and loved that too. I still think that Alia looked classy. Sometimes all that's required is simplicity to stand out from a crowd of absurdity. But if Mona Patel won best dressed, I don't mind that at all, she looked beautiful.
Reminds me of The Hunger Ganes...
Joker show😂😂
Two causes come to mind for the money making event: School meal programmes for children in the United States who are either too nervous to eat before arriving at school, and/or those who can't afford regular healthy meals. And Gaza aid.
Why Indian media are so obsessed with foreigners
I mean even indian celebs also participated in metgala but don't show that
Kim Kardashian reality Star 😂, it's plastic Star.
weiredly....I actually liked what celebs did this year. Many of the dresses had a more direct message that even a lay person like e could understand. Unlike previous years.
Met Gala management forget to give invitation for urfi javed 😂
It's their culture. The Met cares about world
The goofy event
Everyone need's entertainments.
It's fun...fun to be rich & famous
Ed Sheeran got stuck in noodles 😂😂😂
1:10 I just know Jeff. Who are rest of them?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the surreal world we live in
why wouldnt they send urfi javed she deserves met gala ,sure she can fall in their eyes. whats the use of her doing stunts in mumbai just send her to met gala cannes . promote our indian talent please who knows she may bring our country pride and honor
I would go for everything except this Gaza thing at all
Beauty is pain, example models😂😢
Alia Bhatt don't need gala she can do it by her general knowledge everyday. Lol😅😅
Totally A Wastage of Money and Time
The katy perry’s pic is AI generated
Those who think it was bizarre ITS MEANT TO BE AVANT-GARDE and out there!
Male stars do what they do best which is being uncared about the small staff .
Where was our urfi javed😂?
Money talks..
Tyla and Cardi b literally looked ridiculous.
Oooh, I'm sure Miss Urfi would find her place here, no? This is the place for Miss Urfi, and I can imagine she would wear a bicycle tire in here
Please read Srila A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's books, chant the Hare Krishna mantra and be in touch with the Worldwide Hare Krishna movement.
Why is palkhi against every damn thing. It's like she's here just to attack anything good or fun. So we should stop all entertainments now is it?? Already life is so depressing.. and palkhi is here to insult everyone.
Madness gala
you’re good at politics and international affairs, stick to that😂 fashion’s clearly not your cup of tea, esp judging the way you dress. Also, met gala looks aren’t supposed to be cute and pretty-looking; they are MEANT to be extravagant, in your face, inspired by art. These pieces aren’t supposed to be practical at all! It’s almost like contemporary art, not everyone can understand it. Ever seen someone from the fashion world poke their nose into your field? No right? You should do the same
😂😂😂 rich people who don't know how to spend their money....sick
So what happens here? Do people come and donate these people to watch these people look as bizarre as they do? I don’t get the process of raising money here!
jokes apart, the "outfits" tells a story, the art behind it. One must have the knowledge before commenting. for example the "wet shirt" reminds of the late 1800 french women who used to wet their clothes to show off their bodies post french revolution as a sign of their freedom. Because of the wet clothes, the french women fell sick and thus it was termed as "the muslin disease". muslin refering to the clothes. Likewise a lot of the outfits tells you a story, the history behind it, a very meaningful indeed. Preserving the art and culture is ig imp
Stop criticizing Lana ! She imitates art .
WTF 💀 is that thing???
How fool and cringe Rich people can be competition
HOW INSENSITIVE...THEY YOULD BE RAISING FUNDS FOR THE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF WAR...😔😔😔🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
😂😂😂😂😂mosquito net
The world will function the way it is even if these hypocrites suddenly vanished.
Climate change warriors 😅
Common...! Expected deeper from Palki n First Post. Better to keep shut than pouring out the ignorance in public and take a few fashion classes. Definitely would help. Then would understand why Aliya could convince the masses here, but not the fashion scholars any place. It's art. Not utility. M&S is there for utility.
palki this is disgraceful. let people enjoy. stop making controversy out of everything.
Looks totally demonic
Indian urfi. is far better than them
This is totally "LEWD CRUDE AND OFFENSIVE "
There's NOTHING ELEGANT OR CHIC ....
Meat Gala .
India couldn't hold that grand event, that's wise Palki sad 🇮🇳👎🏻👎🏻
Dhruv tatti fan
Simply horrible!!
Dumb
The most overrated event
Isnt this like glorified begging?
This ehite girl has no business reporting about south Africa.
Insanity has no limits
The SAND 1 IS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
YES WE STAND FOR PALESTINE
WE FEEL FOR HUMANITY ACROSS THE 🌎
THE OTHERS NEVER SPOKE OUT AGAINST GENOCIDE🙈🙊🙉
Haha you would not see that in India 😂
Our jokers are catching up too
One of the actress in the prettiest dress was Indian actress.
No, clowns from our country are catching up 😂😅😅
Really????
Bollywood is catching up..look at Urfi javed, Ranveer singh,Karan johar 😂😂😂
