Christopher John Rogers Made a High-Fashion Merch Tee For the Met Gala

The 2022 Met Gala is right around the corner. While you prepare for the first Monday in May, read up on this year's theme, figure out how to stream the (gilded) carpet, and get ready to channel your inner fashion critic, the Met has thought one step further: designer merch.

To celebrate this year's Costume Institute exhibition, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," Vogue, the Met Store, and Instagram teamed up with some of the U.S. design industry's brightest talents. As the curatorial theme of the 2021 and 2022 exhibitions center around American fashion, each designer created a limited-edition capsule collection, available exclusively at The Met Store's shop on Instagram.

Past designers include Virgil Abloh, Emily Bode, Aurora James, Hillary Taymour of Collina Strada, Rio Uribe of Gypsy Sport, Prabal Gurung, and Kerby Jean-Raymond. Master of color theory Christopher John Rogers is now added to that list.

"My work was exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the first time in 2021, and this tee was developed in commemoration of that moment," Rogers said in a press release. The referenced work was a gorgeous silk purple-and-pink tartan-plaid gown with an exaggerated bustle.

Rogers, who was awarded womenswear designer of the year at last year's CFDA awards, has continued to wow the industry and the world with his exuberant approach to color, identifiable signature codes (like his strawberry skirt silhouette), and ever-expanding celebrity clientele (see: Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Lana Condor, and Vice President Harris).

For his exclusive The Met Store collab, Rogers designed a T-shirt in three colors - Hibiscus Pink, Lime Green, and Black - which reads "High Fashion Drama Met Gala Extravaganza." "[The shirt] features one of our favorite phrases in the studio embellished with crystals or printed with metallic foil," Rogers said. Per his brand's ethos, it is incredibly camp. The limited-edition tees retail for $175 to $195 and are available only on Instagram.

Last year, Rogers made his Met Gala debut dressing Gossip Girl star Jordan Alexander and Instagram's Eva Chen. Alexander wore an exposed corset with lime-green boning paired with a rainbow-palette skirt wrapped around her in the style of a Charles James gown. We can't wait to see who he dresses this year.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
