All the Shiny, Elaborate, and Inflated Looks at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
BeautyStyle
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the Met Gala of inflatable puppets. Some are beautiful, some are terrifying, some are shocking, but all are festively coming together on this one occasion to challenge conventional perceptions of what inflatable puppet fashion can be. Let’s check out some looks.
Above, Charlie Brown seems to be wearing a puffer jacket. (The North Face? Perhaps. But it’s not called “gorpcore,” which is a made-up thing by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.) Regardless, I appreciate that he has accessorized with fishnet, an underrated textile.
Interpretive, emotional, and minimalist, Little Cloud had the best look of the parade. While I don’t want to minimize her styling by equating her look with tasteful nudity, that’s a wisp of what’s going on here, and it’s impeccable.
It’s so unfortunate that the Baby Dinos’ stylist, Sinclair Oil, didn’t liberate them from their diaper-egg skirts; a sleeker look would have better suited their reptilian ways, and conveyed the truly encroaching nature of big oil. As is, these ensembles say Put me back in the earth! A missed opportunity.
A pop of color—but the hues are all wrong.
I appreciate the dedication to a rustic Christmas look that Jojo, Bjorn, and Fleck have united for, though I might have adjusted their silhouettes a bit—sleeker knits, slightly more structured accessories. Great execution, however.
Goku is serving xxxtreme fuckboy. Admire it from afar, but trust me, don’t go near it.
