We beloved Sydney Sweeney‘s take a look at this 12 months’s Met Gala. It was clear she was going for an Outdated Hollywood glamour… however was it on theme? Extra importantly, was it bucking the theme in a disrespectful method? That appears to be what numerous followers suppose!
For individuals who didn’t see it, Sydney wore a black Miu Miu robe with a boob cutout and fringed sleeves.
Whereas it wasn’t a precise match, it clearly was meant to emulate a traditional Kim Novak gown from a movie known as The Legend Of Lylah Clare — one thing Sydney hinted at by posting the pic of the ’60s movie icon on her Instagram Tales hours earlier than hitting the carpet.
We didn’t suppose a lot about what the tribute meant on the time… however some critics did!

Listed here are among the feedback dragging her — a few of whom introduced up the outdated allegations she and her household had been MAGA (and subsequently racist) after that themed occasion…
“paying homage to a white woman when the theme is tailoring black type
”
“Can’t get extra MAGA than that”
“this woman is so f**king dumb”
“She actually may’ve picked any film premiere to pay homage to a white woman like woman come on”
“the gown is de facto stunning i’ve to say however i don’t perceive what she selected to do that now when she is aware of it’s clearly off theme.. i’m positive she may have finished this another occasions why now?”
“The theme is black style however she selected to pay homage a white ladies?”
“Her entire household maga together with her what you was anticipating”
“she doesn’t need to beat the allegationsjjdkddb”
Oof! So… why was Sydney paying tribute to a white actress? There’s really a narrative behind it that — whereas not about Black type — could be very a lot about racism.
The Anybody However You star is getting ready to play Kim Novak in an upcoming film. However not only a Hollywood biopic — a movie with extra on its thoughts than that. Scandalous! is extra particularly the story of when Novak dated Sammy Davis, Jr. in 1957. The Vertigo star was attacked by the press and threatened by the studio with being blacklisted… only for being in an interracial relationship. So that is going to be a narrative about rebelling towards pressures of a racist society. Sounds slightly too pertinent now, if we’re being sincere.
But it surely isn’t simply her upcoming function to which she was paying homage… it’s her director, as effectively. See, this movie is being directed by Colman Domingo! The Oscar nominee selected this as his directorial debut, so clearly it’s vital to him. And Colman was additionally… yep! The co-chair of this 12 months’s Met Gala! So clearly this wasn’t Sydney attempting to spit within the face of the theme — it was her try to honor the gala’s co-chair!
