The next morning at the MET gala usually generates as many dimes and diretes as the event itself, and this year, the costume elections of Sabrina Carpenter They lit a particularly hot debate.
The interpreter of ‘Short N’ Sweet ‘, under the stylistic direction of Pharrell Williamscreative male fashion director of Louis Vuitton, dazzled on the blue carpet with a striking burgundy set: a sculptural jacket with a dramatic draped, on a leotard and elevated with imposing heels.
The remarkable absence of pants, however, became a point to concentrate, particularly after Carpenter, 25, transmitted the justification of Williams – a consideration of its height of 1.5 meters, when speaking with the hosts of the live transmission of the red carpet of the gala of the meta of Vogue: “Pharrell said, ‘You’re short, so no pants for you’.”
As usual, Internet trolls intervened, and many questioned this logic. They postulated that the MET 2025 gala dress code, “to your measure,” represented an opportunity to show the transforming power of the pants, made with mastery, to extend the silhouette, regardless of the height.
As someone commented on X: “If Pharrell told Sabrina that it is too low for pants, it is as if he said they don’t know how to make custom suits on LV HQ Lol.”
“That is what I also thought when he said something like ‘Ummm, a lost opportunity to show tailoring skills!'” Someone else replied.
Williams is known for his work with a predominance of tailoring on the Louis Vuitton catwalk and in his personal and red carpet.
Carpenter recognized the dissidents with a laconic appointment tweet: “I curse, I put the leg …”. This brief response, impregnated with a touch of self -awareness, was a refreshingly honest moment.
Meanwhile, the arrival of Cardi bwhich is also celebrated for its low stature, added a layer of visual counterpoint to the debate. His appearance at the Met gala with a green velvet suit of Burberry made, complete with tailor pants, was impressive, and Carpenter’s style critics took note.
The elongated silhouette of cardi B, achieved through the precise cut and adjustment of its suit, became a conversation issue, implicitly challenging the notion that the height dictates inherently the ability to wear pants. As an X user, he pointed to Cardi B images, 32, in the design of tailored to Daniel Lee: “And this is the art of a great adaptation, they made their legs look so long. You would not think that this girl measures 1.60 meters.”
The contrast of these two approaches lit a broader discussion about the subtle interaction between tailoring, proportion and personal style in one of the most analyzed fashion scenarios worldwide.
