The Tamesis
There are two words you won’t hear on the red carpet: stool.
But at the 2026 Met Gala, Sarah Paulson and María Zardoya wore dresses from the Parisian label Matières Fécales (previously known by its English name). Paulson made a social comment in a shattered gray tulle ballgown from the Fall 2026 collection, paired with white leather opera gloves and a money mask that covered her eyes. Zardoya, meanwhile, wore a pink low-rise padded hip candy from Spring 2026, complete with a ghost doll purse.
It’s just the latest high-profile celebrity placement for the young brand. Designers Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran quickly gained attention on the red carpet. In March, Zendaya was promoted drama Wearing an orange-red frayed chiffon gown from the Spring 2026 collection; that same month, Paulson attended the Vanity Fair Oscars in a chunky-shouldered cardigan and tutu. In February this year, Lady Gaga appeared on the 2026 Grammy red carpet wearing a black feather mermaid gown.
While the name might put some people off, it’s not hard to see why celebrities are flocking to this brand. The range of the young designers’ work is surprising: safer dressers may respond with their preference for feminine, almost classical silhouettes, pink tulle (a “cuty Pink” hue they named after their sphynx cat “Cunty”) and pretty gowns. But more fashion-forward celebrities might be drawn to its subversive details: shredding, leather, and cheeky social commentary via money masks, bloody gloves, and pearl ball jokes.
