Katherine Schwarzenegger throws shade at the Met Gala for not being ‘chic & classy’

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have really leaned into the conservative branding. Katherine is basically the celebrity version of a tradwife and Pratt has given off MAGA-adjacent vibes for years. Like, I don’t actually hate them and I think they’re very well-suited for each other, but they definitely get on my last nerve sometimes. This is one of those times. Katherine’s mother Maria Shriver posted some old photos of when she attended the Met Gala with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Katherine reposted the photo on her IG Stories with these words: “When the Met Gala was chic and classy.”

Katherine Schwarzenegger doesn’t seem to be a fan of some of the more recent Met Gala looks.

In a since-expired Instagram Stories post, the New York Times best-selling author, 34, expressed her opinion on how times have changed.

Following the annual event on Monday, May 6, Schwarzenegger reshared a photo that her mother Maria Shriver posted in an Instagram carousel. The upload was a recap from a year that Shriver attended the gala.

“When the Met Gala was chic and classy,” Schwarzenegger added above the picture.

I get it, a lot of people complain about how there are too many B-listers and nobodies at the gala these days, that the atmosphere has changed and it’s become a much more commercial enterprise. But man, that’s a surprisingly loaded statement. I know Katherine was trying to compliment her mom and she probably should have just ended it with “back when the Met Gala was chic.” “Classy” is such a loaded word though, it suggests that the gala needs more gatekeeping, that “certain people” shouldn’t be allowed in. Which brings me back to Chris and Katherine’s politics and their branding… do you think they’ve ever been invited to the gala? Is this sour grapes?
