First of all, I'd like to see someone reference Henry Rollins' "look" when he ran to grab his Grammy in between setting up a gig or something and almost got stopped by the security (HR was wearing a sweaty grey tee and Nike shorts). Secondly, that made me think of what they talk about on my most fav pop-culture podcast, Every Outfit, when they lament that celebs don't style themselves anymore for red carpets and other events. It's all curated, it's all delegated to stylists, and there might be some blood-oath to Chanel or Loewe involved. Which is also why there's little personality behind the looks, it's mere "aesthetic". How can anything fresh spring in that environment?
Absolutely. Although I would at least leave Met Gala be as it is now, because it used to be fairly lowkey as well, as you say, an industry event, but we do need a little pomposity once in a while 😅

tbh maybe we went too far with red carpet dressing bc isn't that just like a work/industry event
