Unpopular Opinion: Zendaya Did Not Slay Met Gala 2019

In This Article:

On most occasions, this would not be the title to this post. Last year for Heavenly Bodies, Zendaya's Joan of Arc inspired moment gave me CHILLS. However, immediately when I saw this Cinderella for Notes of Camp, I yawned. First of all, I did not find that it really fit the theme of Camp. Unless you count that it is a glorified Disney costume that lights up over the top, maybe, but I feel like it just was not giving me the outrageous-ness that the theme demanded this year. For design and technicality, it is a very well made gown that is visually beautiful! I just thought someone who has served some serious lewks at the Met Gala would have been more original!

GASP, I know there are some stans out there that will drag me for saying this but this has been done before...but better... In 2016, for the Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology Zac Posen created possibly the most beautiful gown I have ever seen for Claire Danes. It gave me Cinderella realness for all the right reasons. Let's just let it have its moment one more time:


UH. One of a kind, I am speechless, breathtaking design and structure. Zac Posen did THAT. PERIODT. To me in comparison, it makes any other attempt look cheap and tacky. I honestly don't even have an issue with the fact that Zendaya chose to wear this light up dress or that the designers at Tommy Hilfiger went on this avenue, but this was done not even five years ago!! Same color, same silhouette, same concept. That's why I can't give my stamp of approval on this because it just has an overall wannabe vibe.

Now on to more positive notes, Zendaya's second look of the night was something I was 100% behind. Although it was not very "on theme," I feel like she went very classy and chic in this pink Grecian inspired gown.


Beautiful and effortless, I almost wish she would have jacked this dress up on Camp steroids and wore this as her main and the Cinderella as her after party. But alas, I am just a broke college student behind a computer screen.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
