I agree that Neil Patrick Harris is running on fumes at this point and seems to be hellbent on playing to a stereotype in the waning moments of his 15 minutes of fame.
I like the guy, but I'm also exhausted by him. He's the gay equivalent to the Kardashians to me. I don't understand the popularity when he had it at its highest. He's bound to know he's on the downward side of the fame hill, for now at least. Why not try to dim as a classy, likable guy, the way everyone came to like him?
At this point, I just hope he stays away once his current bout of fame goes dormant.

The Met Ball is usually about women wearing gowns and outfits inspired around a particular designer or theme where men are both REQUESTED and encouraged to wear traditional white tie.
These two queens couldn't help themselves. They crave both attention and playing dress up because they want to be women, so they embarrass themselves and come like this.
They make Andre Leon Talley looks presentable by comparison.
If you look at most of the men at the ball, they're all wearing appropriate attire as well as attire that was requested of them. These two queens knew they'd get photos taken, but even that wasn't enough for them, so they chose to come as gay clowns.

NHP looks fine, though that dark hair he has for Hedwig doesn't become him outside of the theater. Don't know why he felt the need to shed weight for the show - he's pretty trim to begin with.
Burtka looks ridiculous in that outfit. He also looks too "filled out" in general, particularly in his face, to the point where that stereotypical twink/flip hairdo smacks of desperation.

I know nothing about fashion but I thought I read in a different thread that the instruction for men to wear white tie was such a throwback that the designer's of menswear had to scramble to create white tie attire, which apparently no one wears any more outside of this little costume party.
White tie (I am told) requires tails and a top hat. Outside of A CHORUS LINE, when was the last time any group of men appeared publicly in NYC wearing top hats?

Their outfits were designed by American designer Thom Browne, whose major contribution to menswear is the shortening of the trouser length over the past decade.
The Gala's theme, or rather instruction, for the men was simply White Tie. For the women it's Charles James, the late designer being honoured.

Fact is, while I couldn't give a shit about his TV series or Hedwig or the Tony awards, I don't dislike Neil Patrick Harris. I'm not jealous. I don't wish him ill. I don't begrudge his accomplishments or successes. But when two celebrities dress quite intentionally as painted birds not just to turn heads but to shock and scandalize, when they pose intentionally and repeatedly for photos, then they're fair game for critique.
For the defenders who insist, "Oh it's just a bit of fun", have a look at those grim visages. Do a Google Images search and hunt for the least glint of "fun" in any of the many photos of those two sour faces. Sophie had a happier face as she was deciding which of her children to send to the gas chamber and which to the labor camp.

R92 It's information that is easy to google, but white tie is more formal than black tie. Where black tie is just tuxedo and cocktail dress, white tie would be tuxedo with tails and a tophat, stiff shirt, gloves, and the women's dresses can't be short they should be full length and not slutty, lots of expensive jewelry.
Just imagine the Royal Wedding. That's basically white tie, whereas the Oscars used to be white tie, they have probably dropped to black tie because some women don't dress up as much as they should anymore or look more slutty than they should and men rarely wear tails, just regular tuxedos.

The attire has something/everything to do with NPH's turn in Hedwig. He has gone all "Cabaret host exotic" with the extreme weight loss, greasy hair and make-up. This look, as well as David's bizarre gay clown tux (and that HAIR! UGH!), are making some sort of statement. It doesn't seem like a happy statement, though. Those dour faces are on purpose. Are they going for a heroin chic look here? Sending up the entire event? Is there "irony" in those fugly tuxes? Are they wearing them with a "wink and a nod to costume" or something? If so, then why? Who would KNOW that? It is supposed to be about glamour. And, yeah, some of the other outfits are outrageous, yes, but in a different way. These two guys are the only famous gay couple in attendance, yes? And THIS is what they do? Well, I don't really care one way or another but the outfits are certainly not flattering in the least and whatever they were trying to do is lost on most people, I am quite sure.

And David Burtka, how old is he? He has to be pushing 40 but he's bleaching a stipe of his hair like he's a 19 year old Hot Topic twink?
Even if it didn't look horrible, it's just not age appropriate.

[quote]Just imagine the Royal Wedding. That's basically white tie
No. Royal weddings take place in the daytime and require formal day-wear known as Morning Dress which involves neither black nor white tie.

Thank you, R108. Some of the DL crowd needs to be schooled about proper fashion, at least historical fashion. Morning dress would not be something a man would ever get a chance to wear unless he were from a higher social class. Or traveled in those circles. Maybe once in a lifetime would one attend or be a member of a wedding where morning dress was required.
DL is the land of caftans, flip-flops, Ralph Lauren knock-offs and manpris.

Yes R108, you are correct. I used the words "imagine" and "basically" to give a frame of reference to someone who said they knew nothing about the subject to oversimplify it.
If you don't know what white tie is you probably don't know morning dress either.

It's tacky.
The bitches having meltdowns over someone daring to criticize NPH (I was unaware that he made sainthood) and his choice of wardrobe need to get a grip. I mean, really, it's that personal for you?
The only miserable, unhappy people posting in this thread seem to be you. This place loves to wave the pride flag and demand that everyone get in line only when a small pocket of famous successful white gay men get talked about here. It's tiresome.

Eff the attire. NPH looks deathly ill, and I am not buying the "it's all for Hedwig" baloney. he needs to have his head examined if he did that to himself simply for the one time Broadway role... Tony Award or not. I am assuming that he desires employment post-Hedwig, and his Raul Julia impression will likely nix any possible offers currently being mulled over by producers who have working eyes. I say that assuming he is in fact well. If he is indeed ill, he certainly chose poorly in selecting both his attire and his role as Hedwig.

R122 Not sure if you are lying or just trying to troll me or just didn't read what I wrote.
In R97 I wrote BLACK tie was tuxedo. When talking about white tie I specifically mentioned tails and said it was more formal.
Not sure why you are so obsessed with finding something wrong with what I said, but you're wrong and managed to misquote me twice, but good luck with your obsessive need to "correct" people in the future.

A real question, since I am not at all familiar with Broadway shows. But aren't the shows on, on every night? So how come NPH could attend this gala, especially as I had read somewhere that he has no understudy for his role as Hedgwig?

NPH was interviewed by Kelli Ripa and he unwittingly let out some revealing tidbits about their relationship.
He said he and David had a few days off so David surprised him by taking him to a hotel without the kids where they just slept. He also mentioned they eat a lot of take-out.
Now my question is if they are eating take-out, what the hell does David actually do all day? Wasn't he posing on tv as some sort culinary artist? Couldn't he at least make a salad for NPH EVERY NOW AND THEN?

Nice cut on the suits, the length is perfect, the colors compliment each other. Very clean look for both of them.
I also like how the less-famous half of the couple is more low-key, yet still stylish in his own right.
This is how it is done.
PS... the holding of the hands is both subtle and adorable and really speaks volumes.
