"We are going through an extreme camp moment, and it felt very relevant to the cultural conversation to look at what is often dismissed as empty frivolity but can be actually a very sophisticated and powerful political tool, especially for marginalized cultures," the Metropolitan Museum of Art's curator-in-charge Andrew Bolton told The New York Times.

Maybe motivated by backlash to frequent emcee Ricky Gervais, maybe nudged by network partner NBC or maybe responding to our divided, touchy political moment, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, in their infinitely curious wisdom, decided to play it safe and sane this year, tapping people-pleasing late night party clown Jimmy Fallon to front the star-humping frivolity.

"I'm finding a little joy in simplicity these days," Mr. Ratelle said, a mood that on Sunday will be reflected in an Oscars gown that's an unexpected marriage of frivolity and refinement, and in the relatively streamlined trousers and marabou-trimmed cape he plans to wear to the post-awards festivities, a look practically worthy of Jacqueline de Ribes.

We aren't too far into season 2 of Starz' woozily passionate time-travel fantasy Outlander when Claire Randall Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) receives a bit of information so jolting, so disturbing in its implications, she probably wishes she were doing anything other than swirling, swishing and swashing her way through the elaborate frivolity and beauty of 18th-century Versailles.

In the 1960s, when large parts of the world were still taken aback by the dance negations implied or stated by Martha Graham (no to frivolity or merely surface psychology), George Balanchine (no to most décor or costume excess), and Merce Cunningham (no to conventional musicality), the young rebels around the Judson Memorial Church in New York went further.

Reacting to President Trump's executive order banning the entry of citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations and refugees from any country, designers who are showing their work during the four days of men's fashion in New York expressed dissent in gestures that, while mainly small and symbolic, added gravitas to the usual street-style antics and overall frivolity.

Directed by: Griffin DunneWritten by: Robin Swicord, Akiva Goldsman, and Adam BrooksWhen it was released, Practical Magic confused people with its wavering tone — it goes back and forth between heavy themes and light frivolity, mixing horror and romantic comedy — but 20 years later, fans have come to appreciate the film's unique qualities and the way it feels perfectly suited to our cultural moment.

While there's something oddly wonderful about a nightclub that refuses to engage in the kind of frivolity which has seen a large amount of the places people like to party in rebrand as creches with kickdrums become arguably the most famous in the world, what's even odder is the heteronormative appropriation of a sound synonymous with unabashed openness to queer experience.

Of course, Molloy did not consider the odds that a woman — in a matching tangelo pant and blazer from Altuzarra's spring show, perhaps — has been denying herself risk or frivolity in her sartorial choices for years, and only now is no longer in denial; the probability that a woman whose success depends on being seen as ''one of the guys'' might, upon getting there, look around and say, Wait, I take it back.

On a night haunted by the reality of Trump that few had the guts to engage directly, Davis and Streep teamed up to give us a scene that reconciled the frivolity of the occasion and the gravity of our era by reminding their peers of their better calling as artists and reminding everyone in culture making and culture keeping industries the importance of pursuing great work that speaks the truth and holds those in authority accountable.

Backstage before the show, as models milled around poking fake fingernails tinted spun sugar sweet at their phones, Mr. Scott (nursing a broken elbow in a pink sling) was talking strikes in Chile, the gilets jaunes in France, socialism in the United States, "how stretched and tenuous the idea of democracy has become" and how that led, inescapably, to thoughts of the world before the French Revolution and Marie Antoinette, the woman who has become a symbol of all that decadence and blind frivolity.
