EJ Johnson Sparks Debate After Saying Beyoncé, Rihanna & More MISSED The Mark At The Met Gala

Chile, EJ Johnson didn’t hold back when he posted a video on Instagram reacting to this year’s Met Gala looks. He bluntly stated that this year was filled with misses and only one person truly delivered! “It’s just all of the looks were awful on awful and awful and then a little more awful,” EJ remarked. He also described the entire event as a “graveyard” and claimed 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 emphasized the need to appreciate those who are getting it right, even if they aren’t household names. He pointed out that the big names just aren’t delivering what they usually do, so it’s time to recognize some new faces.

“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 acknowledged that he felt this year’s Met Gala wasn’t impressive, he did mention that Emma Chamberlain was the only one “who came to work.” He stated that Emma really brought the energy and stood out as the only one who truly grasped the assignment and theme. “It was just a win and it was a landslide win because no one else was even trying.” 

Emma was among the first celebrities to arrive at the Met. She came through on a mission to make an impact, arriving in a vintage Mugler gown that appeared hand-painted on her body and featured a dramatic ruffled train.
