Katherine Schwarzenegger's Subtle Swipe at 2024 Met Gala Looks
Katherine Schwarzenegger has subtly criticized the 2024 Met Gala looks by sharing a "classy" photo of her mother, Maria Shriver, attending the event in 2001.
On Wednesday, Schwarzenegger reposted a series of throwback photos that Shriver posted on Instagram, featuring Shriver attending the 2001 Met Gala. Schwarzenegger captioned the post, "When the Met Gala was chic and classy," per People magazine.
Schwarzenegger's post comes after the 2024 Met Gala, which was held on Monday, May 1. The event is known for its over-the-top fashion, with celebrities often wearing outrageous and daring outfits.
This year's dress code was "The Garden of Time," while the theme was simply "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." From Charli XCX's T-shirt gown to South African singer Tyla's sand gown, the stars showed up in an array of daring fashion choices.
Schwarzenegger's repost of her mother's photos from the 2001 Met Gala suggests that she prefers the more traditional and elegant style of the past.
Shriver's photos show her wearing a beautiful dress and attending the event with both her parents. The post was greeted with a lot of love in the comment section, with many people agreeing with Schwarzenegger's assessment.
"What a joy to have your parents with you. You all look great! You haven’t changed Maria!" Rita Wilson wrote.
"Much better glamour than now," one follower commented. "Now it’s a costume party."
"Beautiful and much classier than today," another wrote.
The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Celebrities take the opportunity to dress in less-than-traditional pieces, loosely based around the theme of the year.
This year's co-chairs were Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel, and Roger Federer. The event was hosted by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Despite the criticism from Schwarzenegger and others, the 2024 Met Gala was a success, raising millions of dollars for the Costume Institute.
