For her: A kind of dress
As is well known, the red carpet season is in full swing again, and for a moment it was thought that a brand new trend would prevail, namely the I-pug-you-the-show look. Jada Pinkett Smith did it in a sweeping dark green evening gown at the Oscars, and John Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, who’s actually getting canceled for social media spite anyway, rocked a pink taffeta cloud at the Grammys on Sunday. The concept is simple: use a gigantic mountain of fabric to make the real protagonist of the evening by your side suddenly look very small. But then Hailey and Justin Bieber shuffled onto the red carpet at the Music Awards, as antithesis: the model Hailey, whose success somehow seems to be based on a fascinatingly bloodless vibe anyway, voluntarily put herself in the shadow of her husband. What she was wearing was probably a dress, but it looked like a bed sheet that shivering women in Hollywood movies always so sweetly wrap themselves in when they get up after they have had sex. There’s a lot of gossip about the Biebers, there’s plenty of video footage of him slamming the car door in her face, yelling at her, or just leaving her somewhere while skating his skateboard towards the sunset. Out of self-interest, Hailey could have made a little more effort. So what can be gleaned from these extreme forms of companion fashion? Marriage doesn’t do some women any good at all.
For him: Kind of a joke
If you see something like that on a good day, you might think something forgiving like: It’s great that everything is possible in fashion today and that it’s no longer about beauty and accuracy. On a less than good day you want to bite into the daybed because you no longer understand it all. And has the urgent feeling that a lot has been lost in recent fashion trends, above all something like common sense. So please, a perpetually childish-looking pop star comes to the Grammys in a suit that looks like it was stolen from a ’90s comedy starring Arnie or Dad’s closet. Yes, oversized and pipapo, carefully dosed, that can look good. But sometimes it just can’t look good. In other words – you can celebrate this XXL look, as quite a few have done, but that has more to do with celebrating than with style awareness and aesthetics. After all, the bizarre biker Crocs on his feet (all from Balenciaga, of course) were mostly covered by the dragging trouser legs. If you could at least believe that the couple had played a joke, along the lines of, “Haha, I’ll put on a giant jacket and you wrap yourself in a sheet, then we’ll see what the jerks say.” But ironic reflection and jokes at their own expense are rather alien to the fully tattooed super-individualists, because everything is always full of deep messages and the will to develop. Why didn’t Justin Bieber put on a giant black man’s hat? Because then he would have looked like a cult hardliner? In any case, the flip cap is like a plug with which you can drain the water from this lukewarm bathtub.
