AnnaSophia Robb
These got loaded in alphabetically, so I'm going with that flow. First up, the erstwhile Young Carrie Bradshaw (another YOUNG), in some Dior jim-jams. Truly, if I were invited to any kind of event taking place at NIGHTTIME, for God's sake, I would be undone if I couldn't attend in my PJs. So.
Ariana DeBose
Ariana was famously The Bullet in the original Hamilton company, and also will be in West Side Story as Anita. (She also was nominated for a Tony in 2018 for playing Donna Summer on Broadway, which I did not know!) I sort of like her sleek denim jacket, but the skort she's got going with it is questionable.
Brittany O’Grady
At first I thought I recognized her from that show where Bearded Ted Mosby white-savior'd a musical theatre group, but it turns out she was on Star, instead. Same era, wrong musical show. She's now known for "The White Lotus," which I haven't seen yet. And she looks super in that dress.
Camila Coelho
This exhibit is not merely Stuff Christian Dior Designed, but also includes his successors. I hope it does not have a Crimes Committed In Dior's Name By Maria Grazia Chiuri section. We never need to see this on a mannequin in the Met.
Eli Brown
Eli is Obie on Gossip Girl -- "Noble O," they call him, which... barf. You guys, the new show is so terrible that it even makes me want to punch Kristen Bell's narration track (not HER, just like... the ether in which the recording lives). This is fine,
Jaden Michael
Jaden is playing Young Kaep in an Ava DuVernay project about he former QB, which seems like good casting. I don't know if that mock turtleneck goes great with the pants. Or does he need a belt to make it feel smoother?
James Turlington
He looks like... a male model, which he is. So everything is in order here. (Yep, that's Turlington as in Christy. He has a whole lot of her genes in his face.)
Jayme Lawson
Jayme is our Young Michelle Obama from "The First Lady," coming next year. I gather she's also in the R.Pattz Batman. CAN YOU IMAGINE going from an unknown to being in Batman and playing freaking Michelle Obama?!? That's a lot. I wish she had channeled her inner Mrs. O here, because I don't think she'd have rubber-stamped this shirt.
Jordan Alexander
This is... fine, and underaccessorized. Which is a surprise for someone who wore a totally crazy mask to her show's premiere.
Julia Fox
I still only know of Julia from Uncut Gems, the promo for which got her into Fug Madness. This will not.
Kacey Musgraves
She looks like Bella Hadid here. This is... is Dior trying to get people to wear more ski jumpsuits?
Kristin Davis
... were they not able to get Kristin on the step-and-repeat? Or did she not even go inside?
Leyna Bloom
Considering it's silky formal shorts, this could all be a lot worse. The shoes and bag are quite good.
Lorde
I see Lorde's period of somber reflection is ongoing.
Madison Bailey
Madison "Outer Banks" Bailey made out pretty well here.
Nicholas Braun
Oh my God, the ankle-length flared pants. Is he trying to Jared Leto himself slowly?
Olivia Holt
I REALLY like this cape dress, and the blood red lip she wore with it.
Olivia Palermo
That's a gorgeous dress. Her makeup, though, is too intense for her.
Selah Marley
This is Lauryn Hill's daughter, and BOY can you tell. I was going to be like, "Whatever on the outfit, she's only 14," but she's actually 22. So we CAN probably dispense with pinafores and ankle socks.
Thomas Doherty
Sure.
Victor Cruz
I like Victor's fashion flair, generally, but those pants aren't a great cut on him.
Yara Shahidi
As usual, Yara makes everything lovely.
Here is a look at the museum space, which is like... the fanciest department store on Hoth.
I like that the gown on the top of the pyramid is styled to look like the mannequin is getting the HELL out of dodge.
These are timelessly fabulous. Just so, so good. Compare that to the stuff with the CHRISTIAN DIOR waistbands. It's a travesty.
Putting the dresses up high, like they're butterflies in said Enchanted Garden, is a neat choice.
I am curious how effective these displays are in person.
It would be neat to see a collection inspired entirely by this exhibit, even though I know some of the entries here are already from modern times.
Am I crazy, or did someone wear that, either to perform or just on a red carpet? Google Image search is no help. Obviously neither is my brain.
Also feel like we've seen this one? Am I nuts?
So lovely.
I am almost surprised we never saw that middle one on the original Gossip Girl.
Some of these, I remember seeing at the Met years ago, but if you saw that exhibit, this one is at least curated differently and has been expanded.
That white one reminds me SO MUCH of Lily Collins's Ralph Lauren wedding dress from this past weekend.
For a long time, until Dylan took over and demanded a change, the background on my phone was a close-up shot of one of those Dior ribbon skirts.
I kind of wish Dr. Biden would come out at an event in that gold pantsuit and cape. And when I say "kind of" I mean "absofreakinglutely."
Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, New York, USA - 08 Sep 2021
I want pregnant J.Law to emerge at a premiere in one of those gigantic-sleeved gowns. It would be an EVENT.
Come on, Gaga. Rob the museum. Rob it for the pink outfit. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Ocean's Nine?!?
