What would you wear to the Met Gala?
It’s upon us, the day we wait for all year- the day we get to criticize the bold fashion choices of celebrities, all from the comfort of our stained pajama pants. It’s a wonderful thing. If you care about fashion at all, then you’re tuned in to the Met Gala red carpet. It’s where the most high-profile people take the most risks with their apparel all year. And it always revolves around the theme of the exhibit, which this year is «Costume Art.» Pretty broad, so pretty exciting to be a part of, no? If you’re a person who loves to judge (and who isn’t on the internet), then you come alive today. You dissect the looks, say what you would have done differently, what you hate, what you love. It’s fun fodder for the fashion-conscious.
This year was no different. It might have been a hair less star-studded than before, with some former guests boycotting Jeff Bezos’s involvement, but there were still plenty of celebs who didn’t want to miss out on the chance to wear something kooky and get their picture taken. The ridiculousness of it all is easy to point out, but that’s kind of missing the point. Of course, it’s ridiculous, but we should just take that as a given. It doesn’t have to be life-changing, but it can be entertainment. And I live for a good day on Twitter, and the Met Gala is always a good day on Twitter. Commentators, jokesters, and pundits all come out of the woodwork to give their two cents on the looks. So below are some of the freshest, best jokes from this year’s event, all for you to enjoy.
