EJ Johnson Sparks Debate After Saying Beyoncé, Rihanna & More MISSED The Mark At The Met Gala
Chile, EJ Johnson didn’t spare any feelings when he dropped a video on Instagram reacting to this year’s Met Gala looks. He straight up said this year was full of misses and only one person delivered! “It’s just all of the looks were awful on awful and awful and then a little more awful,” EJ said. He also called the whole event a “graveyard” and said Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian all “fell short” this year.
“The vibes were not vibing at the Met Gala. It was the graveyard […] and then the real kicker for me was Beyoncé comes in at the end honey like the grim reaper chile dressed like skeletor and was just there to break all the souls and then take everyone down to the underworld,” EJ added.
From there, Johnson said it’s time to show love to the people that are getting it right, even if they’re not household names. He said the big names just aren’t giving what they usually give so it’s time to show some new faces some love.
“We have to look for the girls who are coming in and doing it, even if we’re like who is that? Or like I have to go look up this person because that’s gonna be the next wave of the bomb and cool people of the style people […] the people that are getting it right.” Johnson added. “And not worry about the names because the names are not naming. And we have to let them not name and worry about some new people.”
EJ Crowns Emma Chamberlain As Best Dressed
Although EJ admitted that he felt like this year’s Met Gala wasn’t it, he did say Emma Chamberlain was the only one “who came to work.” He said Emma really brought the energy and stood out as the only one who truly understood the assignment and theme. “It was just a win and it was a landslide win because no one else was even trying.”
Emma was one of the first celebs to grace the steps at the Met. She came through on a mission to shut things down and did just that arriving in a vintage Mugler gown that was seemingly hand painted on her body and included a dramatic ruffled train.
