Katherine Schwarzenegger has subtly criticized the 2023 Met Gala looks by sharing a series of throwback photos that her mother, Maria Shriver, posted on Instagram.

The photos feature Shriver attending the 2001 Met Gala, and Schwarzenegger's caption reads: "When the Met Gala was chic and classy."

Schwarzenegger's post comes after the 2023 Met Gala, which was held on Monday, May 1, and featured a wide range of daring and unconventional fashion choices.

Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and Rita Ora showed some skin in their outfits, while South African singer Tyla wore a dress made of sand and had to be carried up the Met steps.

Schwarzenegger's post has been met with a lot of support in the comments section, with many people agreeing that the Met Gala looks of the past were more sophisticated and elegant.

"What a joy to have your parents with you. You all look great! You haven’t changed Maria!" wrote Rita Wilson.

"Much better glamour than now," one follower commented. "Now it’s a costume party."

"Beautiful and much classier than today," another wrote.

The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Celebrities take the opportunity to dress in less-than-traditional pieces, loosely based around the theme of the year.

This year's dress code was "The Garden of Time," while the theme was simply "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

While some people praised the creativity and daring of the 2023 Met Gala looks, others, like Schwarzenegger, found them to be a bit too over the top.

It is clear that Schwarzenegger prefers the more classic and timeless looks of the past, and her post has resonated with many who share her sentiments.
