miss-rumphius:

Looking at the Met gala pictures as they start to roll in and I’m paying particular attention to how Jewish, Muslim, and other non-Christian celebrities wear and interpret this years theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. I imagine that for some it is an uncomfortable theme to interpret, as Catholicism has affected their religious background and upbringing. Do you go along with the theme? Subvert it? Or just decide to wear a pretty gown and risk people calling you out for not dressing on theme? It is a decision which is surprisingly fraught with lots of implications. So, tbh, if it was me (as a Jewish women), I’d show up either rocking some full on Tzniut look or a gown with like glamorous embroidered hamsa’s all over it…
