Bethann Hardison Instagram – Met Ball 2019…
My call time last year 6:15p .
Dressed by and at the table of @dapperdanharlem. It was the first time a table was hosted by a black designer in behalf of @Gucci who was also a co-chair of the opening of the Camp exhibit
Our table was so eclectic, from @karliekloss to @frenchmontana to @ashleygraham to @omarihardwickofficial to @morereginahall @bevysmith @jelaniday and of course Dap himself. A very special night and as French and I were sashaying out at the end of the night, we got grab before stepping out of the museum for another photograph which was later titled “Black Camp” and gifted by @aurorajames.
Can you recognized who was captured in this shot ?
Must say, I like who is being invited to the ball these last 6-8 yrs, popular culture racially is leaving its mark. Nice for me to see since I started attending with Ms Vreeland who originally headed the Costume Institute.
For years it didn’t reflect what was first initiated and different under Ms. Wintour but I must say it brings me joy to see who is representing the audience in attendance now.
If you are making a mark in art, music, tv/film, fashion, etc. and of color, you are invited, but of course under the choice of the director of the evening.
It’s giving the Met Ball a whole flair of style and energy.
It was my second time under Ms Wintour and perhaps 3-4 times times under Ms.Vreeland.
If I never go again, I am happy who will be in attendance…”carry on children and represent”.
