The Best Met Gala Bathroom Selfies: Shop the Look

On one hand, it’s often better to avoid the ultra–lo-fi setting unless you have a couple hundred thousand followers who don’t mind (or 98.9 million like Kim Kardashian West, who frequently shoots in front of the sink). But what about when it’s the Met Gala? The ladies’ room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a storied reputation—the one place where it’s entirely acceptable, even encouraged, to take a toilet-side snap. Year after year, celebrities gather for an impromptu photo shoot and earn countless Instagram likes. It reads like a master class in bathroom selfie style, with plenty of tips worth rolling into your repertoire. If you’re feeling more like a Cara Delevingne, why not choose a studded one-shoulder Versus Versace dress and several swipes of e.l.f. eyeliner to get that same smoky eye?

Step forward Katerina Jebb, the Paris-based, British artist known for her unorthodox approach to image creation who has been creating captivating fake beauty advertisement films since early 2009, for her imaginary TV Channel, Lucid TV. Featuring well-known female faces, the subversive series of shorts, entitled Simulacrum and Hyperbole, employ powerful voiceovers to promote mythical, wonder products – the works, powerful, witty comments on consumerism and the beauty industry.

Inspired by the series, Comme des Garçons invited her to create a film in the same vein, but this time focused on a purchasable product. The result: the fake ads cleverly intercut with the Comme-focused ad entitled We Can Find Beautiful Things Without Consciousness. René Burri on Rei Kawakubo & Picasso.

She has an incredible sense of going beyond. When she sent me the first designs, I was amazed because she owned all of my old books. Even the ones from the 1960s, that I did on Germany. She took my work, respected the images and made them into collages in a very interesting way. It is almost like recycling. "Looking back, I didn't have the patience to work in fashion.

Dual Analysis: Beetle Juice – Chris’ Thoughts

Attesting that upbeat and silly often go hand in hand, Beetle Juice (1988) stands as one of director Tim Burton’s most cheerfully insane projects. If its blend of fantasy, horror, comedy proves too much for some, then the imaginative costumes by Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Bo Welch’s vibrant production design save the film from merely a cult following. Yet there is so much to see in Beetle Juice that the real enjoyment comes from re-viewing. This spooky tale revolves around the recently deceased Maitlands, Adam (Alec Baldwin) and Barbara (Geena Davis).

It ended up a big fail though as neither I nor my friends realized you had to buy advance tickets online and pick a time since this is a "SPECIAL" exhibition. Of course they were sold out for the rest of the weekend! Seeing as Burton was already on my mind, I decided to put on one of the best movies of all time: Beetlejuice.

I never get tired of this flick and find something new every time I watch it. This time I noticed Catherine O'Hara aka Delia Deetz's costumes were pretty damn spectacular, which they kind of have to be to get the character's strong personality across. AMAZING glove turban..such drama! I'd rock the hell out of this shirt if I had it...betting it's a CDG creation. Look- drop crotch pants! This look was perfection- I tried to find a frame of the whole outfit but couldn't get much more than the top half. You couldn't get more "snobby 80s artist type with money in the bank" than this.
