BONUS: Met Gala 2026 Best Dressed
from Note 2 Self · host Saskia Starck
In this special bonus episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia is dropping a timely mini episode on the Met Gala. The exhibition, Costume Art, asked guests to explore the indivisible connection between body and garment, treating fashion as an embodied art form. The dress code: Fashion Is Art. And Saskia had a lot of thoughts.One thread she couldn't stop pulling on: how many designers, independently, arrived at the same answer: the female body as icon. Venus de Milo appeared twice. The Winged Victory. The Black Madonna. On a night asking where the body ends and the garment begins, something kept pointing back to how women's bodies have been depicted, celebrated, and mythologised throughout history. She thinks that says something.This is her full Met Gala wrap sharing some of her favourite looks from Sabrina Carpenter, Kim Kardashian, Anok Yai, Hudson Williams, Emma Chamberlain, and more, sharpest critiques, and one moment that stopped her completely.Because what we wear is never just what we wear. It's what we're saying.
