Should your glance on mornings lovely

Lift to drink the heaven’s blue

Or when sun, veiled by sirocco,

Royal red sinks out of view –

Give to Nature praise and honor.

Blithe of heart and sound of eye,

Knowing for the world of colour

Where its broad foundations lie.

— Goethe

Often associated with bloodshed, the color red can trigger feelings of sorrow and defeat. It can also be a fortifying presence, letting us know that we’ve endured another painful scar. In Greek mythology, the red rose was a symbol of the cycle of growth and decay, but also for love and affinity. Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and courage. 

The color red has represented many things, from the life force and the divine to love, lust, and anger. Up through the Middle Ages, red held a place of privilege in the Western world. For many cultures, red was not just one color of many but rather the only color worthy enough to be used for social purposes. In some languages, the word for red was the same as the word for color. The first color developed for painting and dying, red became associated in antiquity with war, wealth, and power. In the medieval period, red held both religious significance, as the color of the blood of Christ and the fires of Hell, and secular meaning, as a symbol of love, glory, and beauty. Yet during the Protestant Reformation, red began to decline in status. Viewed as indecent and immoral and linked to luxury and the excesses of the Catholic Church, red fell out of favor. After the French Revolution, red gained new respect as the color of progressive movements and radical left-wing politics." - Red: The History of a Color by Michel Pastoureau

My favorite time of year : Tumblr roasting celebrities at the Met Gala.

Anyways, I’d like to take this time to share what I’d wear, as a fashion history nerd, to the 2022 Met Gala.

First up, the dress. The focal point of the outfit. I would absolutely have a reproduction of Worth’s Wrought Iron Gown, but maybe with a little bling to it near the train, or a longer train. I’d also wear the white gloves seen on the mannequin because why not?

These shoes, obviously, but maybe a little whiter.

As for hair, I’ll have to admit I don’t much like 1890s hair (the era the dress and shoes are from). I’d definitely make it more 1910s - still Gilded Age but definitely a couple decades later.

For hair accessories, I’d either (somehow) find a way to add this hair comb (?) or the 1910 Boucheron wave tiara.

For other accessories, this fan and this necklace :

And that’s about it!
