I adore the art of fashion but I think the relevance of the Met gala continues to wane. The intended gala energy feels mismatched with the energy in the world right now.
I heard that the traffic was especially bad this year, so I think that maybe everyone was kinda tired and annoyed? The whole event is kind of a pain in the ass - they have to wait in line for the red carpet like they're at the DMV. So I think something like adding an hour or two to that wait could really put a damper on the whole thing.
Doesn't it sound like abject torture? lol. Poor indigos. (Actually, I wonder how many indigo celebs actually even go?)
Also, many of them arrive to the event in sprinter vans so they can stand up and not wrinkle their outfits, which means they've been on their feet for hours. They can't use the bathroom because of all the shapewear and the tailoring (Kim K famously either didn't pee at all or legit peed herself the year she wore that wet-look Mugler). And then AFTER all that, they have to attend a fancy dinner with a bunch of important people they must impress or they won't get invited back. It seriously sounds like a terrible time. I bet Chappell haaaated it.
The only part that looks fun is the years that some of the celebs snuck their phones in (because phones aren't allowed either - so no, no distracting yourself on tik tok or texting your hubbie) and took pics of themselves hanging out and smoking in the bathroom.
I get the feeling that these type of events are really unsettling and turn a lot of normal people off. I also wonder if celebrities are more under a microscope these days and for some reason this event just screams vibes from the capital on hunger games just a lot of vanity when real serious things are going on in the world. Just my thoughts I do wonder if they are feeling that at all and that is why they all seem to be uncomfortable.
Anna W wears sunglasses A LOT! Now I see why…. Holy shit! 😳😳😳seems like the event is pretty out of touch with reality and a lot of those folks get it, but don’t want to burn that bridge or face that wrath so they’re like “fine I’ll go.” People say they’re terrified of like walking down the rug (carpet? Lol!)to walk by her. Like collecting pets in a tiny glass terrarium and like just having them to be a shiny part to fulfill your vision. 😒🤨
also random but is Halsey okay? her late 2024 music and new stuff is giving emo/mental illness but also like self awareness? idk i just thought of her bc i was listening to her music on the plane yesterday (lol)
So true that something seems off with Kim. I wonder what it is, and if it's just this night, or if it's lately, in general? She and her sisters have mostly been kind of quiet lately (with the exception of Kylie, who's been more visible with Timmy than before), and I know Kim's been getting some flack for her alignment with Elon/Tesla (and presumably maybe Trump). She's usually pretty good at navigating controversy, using it as a business opportunity, and having a "no press is bad press" kind of attitude, but maybe this is getting to her? Or maybe something else more personal is going on? I also know she recently changed stylists, after years of working with the same person. I wonder if there's something... there. Either something that happened that led to the change, or her being uncertain as she adjusts to the change...?
Also, there's video of Kim and North leaving the hotel on the way to the gala, and North looks visibly upset/pissed, so I wonder if some of this energy has something to do with whatever that was about.
I felt like the Kardashians did feel a little less in their element than usual this year looking at the photos!! It made me feel kinda sad for them … but idk why !

Honestly, no one looks in their element except Walton Goggins lol!!
I want to be Pam’s aura when I grow up

Feels more in general and based on what you say, that makes a lot of sense
I felt like the Kardashians did feel a little less in their element than usual this year looking at the photos!! It made me feel kinda sad for them … but idk why !
Yeah they seemed off….
So interesting! They also all showed up super late (after the live streams ended). I wonder if they did that on purpose...
Oh really?! Hmm! They seemed flustered
"Anna Wintour scares me" already dying laughing
🤣
