Gigi Hadid supermodel fans have jumped to her defense after she faced criticism for her Met gala attire.
The 30 -year -old arrived at the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a golden sequin dress, with a fall waist, from the Italian fashion house Miu Miu.
However, Hadid quickly faced criticism for not adhering to the “adapted”, which was inspired by the next spring exhibition of the Metropolitan Art Museum, “Superfine: Sastring Black Style”, focusing on male clothes and tailoring of your suit, with emphasis on black dandiism.
While some fans complained about Tiktok that Hadid Look “Feed Off Theme”, many others have defended Hadid for paying tribute to Josephine Baker, the first black woman to star in a great movie movie, Tropics sirenIn 1927.
Meanwhile, others pointed out that paying tribute to Baker did not meet the issue. “Reference to a black woman does not mean that she is on the subject, although it is the Josephine Baker, the theme is black dandyism, not only black history,” said one person, and another adds: “Ideal for black history but it is not elegant.”
Hadid's appearance was designed by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who was the first black woman to design an American Fashion Cover, as a celebration and tribute to the 1951 Balmain dress made by Fashion Designer Zelda Wynn Valdes for the dancer, actor and singer Baker.
Baker, who went to fame as a dancer in the Paris of the 1920s, was a famous civil rights activist, speaking with Martin Luther King Jr in March 1963 in Washington. It also served as a spy for French resistance during World War II, using its celebrity status to gather intelligence.
Karefa-Johnson also designed that Kendall Jenner and Ashley Graham.
Zelda Wynn Valdés was known for the designs that shaped, changed and designed the feminine form. From being trained in his uncle's tailoring during the peak years of Jim Crow's segregation, the fashion designer won a reputation as a seamstress and opened his own boutique.
It was there that he defined his characteristic style of glamor effortlessly, the art of adapting it and incorporating it into the feminine form. She designed for Baker and Dorothy Dandridge, as well as designed the Playboy Bunny uniform, a wink to dandyism and femininity itself.
Fans have praised Karefa-Johnson and Hadid for the appearance, with a fan writing online: “Literally one of the only people on the subject.”
“We have a winner for tonight,” said another. “This is the reason why people need to see interviews or read the articles that explain the aspect because they enter details how and why it relates to the subject!” Said a third.
This was not Baker's only appreciation in the fashion event this year. Stars, including Megan Thee Stallion, Dua Lipa, Tyler, Fifth Brunson and $ Ap Rocky, all channeled Baker for the red carpet.
Another star to face criticism for ignoring the theme was Shakira, who wore a pink gum dress with a large sweeping train.
“Beautiful … but not on the subject at all,” wrote a person on Instagram in response to the outfit, while another critic called the “ridiculous” dress.
The additional commentators added that Shakira had “lost the homework”, with a person joking that his pink dress reminded Glinda of the stage musical and the recent Hollywood movie Wicked.
