How Bout Dude Who Showed Up To The Met Gala Naked And In A Glass Box?

(Source) – While stars like Gigi Hadid and Kylie Jenner got flak for their not-so-Comme des Garçons-inspired looks, no one was more underdressed for the occasion than Russian performance artist Fyodor Pavlov-Andreevich, who showed up nude inside a glass box. Around 8:30 p.m. ET, Pavlov-Andreevich (in box) was dragged out of the trunk of a car and placed on the floor of the highly exclusive affair, his six-foot-two frame obscured only by the condensation clouding up box’s glass panels. Immediately, Met Gala partygoers were confused, uncomfortable and a little giggly. It was not long before police showed up and requested Pavlov-Andreevich leave his box. When the artist refused, firefighters cut him free from his enclosure and promptly arrested him on charges of public lewdness, obstructing governmental administration, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct, according to NBC New York.

I was gonna say I love this move until I got to the part where Pavlov is a performance artist, which I probably should’ve sniffed out from the beginning but I didn’t so get over it. If this dude was just a regular guest at the Met Gala then it’s a 10 out of 10 outfit. Everyone spends all year trying to decide what they’re gonna wear and you show up in the buff, inside something of a steam room, on an Emperor’s New Clothes shit? That’s fantastic. Instantly steal the show from every celebrity. When going to a party if you’re not gonna blend in then you gotta be super overdressed or super underdressed and just own it, this guy is somehow both under and overdressed simultaneously, and that’s a beautiful juxtaposition.

But, unfortunately for Pavlov, I’ve taken an oath to never like or respect performance artists, so he can kick rocks here. Ooooh you’re so cool and creative. You’re zany! You’re wonky! Fuck off back to Russia, Pavlov. Leave the Met red carpet to the Tom Bradys of the world, the men of power, you go get in a freak car accident on a dashboard cam like Russians are supposed to.
