🎙️ Too Young to Be Old: The Met Gala Roast-Fashion, Fame & What Everyone’s Missing
Fashion legend Diane Gilman brings her signature wit and 60+ years of industry experience to a no-holds-barred review of the 2025 Met Gala. In this special Fashion Thursday, Diane dishes on the spectacle, the stars, and why the world is obsessed with red carpets while real news gets buried. From jaw-dropping looks (good and bad) to eyebrow-raising celebrity choices, Diane’s commentary is equal parts sharp, nostalgic, and refreshingly honest.
In This Episode:
- Met Gala Memories: Diane recalls attending the Met Gala before it was celebrity-driven, when socialites and sky-high gowns ruled New York’s fashion scene.
- A Cynical Take on the Spectacle: Comparing the Gala’s extravagance to Nero’s Rome and Marie Antoinette’s infamous “let them eat cake” moment, Diane questions the priorities of modern culture.
- What Really Mattered That Night: While the world buzzed about fashion, Diane spotlights two overlooked headlines: Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles and a groundbreaking Cancer treatment announcement.
- Red Carpet Rundown: Diane reacts live to Met Gala looks-praising Zendaya’s Louis Vuitton suit, critiquing off-theme outfits, and sharing strong opinions on tailoring, color choices, and the infamous blue rosebud carpet.
- Fashion Hits & Misses: From Diana Ross’s age-defying glam to Bad Bunny’s puzzling accessories, no celebrity is safe from Diane’s honest feedback.
- Beauty for Real Women: Diane raves about Prime Promatix’s gray eyebrow pencil, finally a product for silver-haired women seeking natural, flattering brows.
- The State of Fashion: Why tailoring, structure, and authenticity matter more than ever-and how fashion’s last “big night out” reflects a changing industry.
- Final Thoughts: Diane wraps up with her signature perspective: age is just a number, fashion should be fun, and sometimes, you need to call out the emperor’s new clothes.
