Met Gala 2021 Rihanna: The Monarch of the Met Gala It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Rihanna is the Met Gala Sovereign. No one else comes close to her on the First Monday in May or the Second Monday in September. Not even Zendaya. So Rihanna was the one we’ve all been waiting for. Especially since last year By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 03:29 pm
Met Gala 2021 Carey & Kristen: Best Met Gala Prom, Barbie, and the Opry Big fan of both of these two actors for their work but also for their style, so their looks last night were near the very top of my list. On theme though, I think I might have to give the edge to Kristen Stewart so let’s start with Carey By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 02:10 pm
Met Gala 2021 Simu and Timothée: Best of Met White So many people experienced their inaugural Met Galas last night – Channing Tatum, Ben Affleck, Simu Liu… Simu was a guest of Vogue proper and Instagram. He wore Fendi. As you can see, his white suit jacket is western inspired, with the black lined lapels and especially the trim on his By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 01:27 pm
Met Gala 2021 Bennifer at the Met Gala For weeks and weeks we’ve been hoping for it. For Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez to show up at Venice premiere of The Last Duel and the Met Gala – and they delivered on both counts. How did we get so lucky? Do we deserve this? I’m not sure By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 12:40 pm
Met Gala 2021 Lupita and Tessa: Met Gala Western There were a few western interpretations of In America last night. Jennifer Lopez was probably the most extra – and, obviously, we’ll get to her soon. But there were other western style standouts, like Lupita Nyong’o and Tessa Thompson. Lupita wore denim Versace, perhaps the most elevated jean dress By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 12:13 pm
Met Gala 2021 Zoë and Channing at the Met Gala Zoë Kravitz is not new to the Met Gala and certainly not new to killing it at the Met Gala. Did she look incredible last night? Yes. No doubt. She was in YSL, no surprise, since she’s a brand ambassador. The chain mail here is exquisite. There are YSL By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 11:48 am
Met Gala 2021 Megan and Kate (ha!): Best and Worst of Met Gala Sexy Megan Fox’s return to pop culture over the last year has been… really entertaining, right? I’ve enjoyed it, I’ve enjoyed that she’s out here a lot, has been highly visible, but also still not a total open book. There’s still something unknowable about her and By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 11:29 am
Met Gala 2021 Iman, Gigi, Kendall, Emily, Lily: Models at the Met Gala Models are regular cast members at the Met Gala. It’s fashion’s biggest night – you could argue that they belong there more than the celebrities who often outnumber them. That said, most of the time, at least in my opinion, models are the least interesting models at the Met By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 10:22 am
Met Gala 2021 Lourdes, Brooklyn, and Ella: Met Gala Offspring Madonna is a Met Gala regular. And I thought, after her stunt at the MTV VMAs on Sunday night, that for sure she would be there last night. Madonna being Madonna, an eternal provocateur, would have found a way to f-ck with the theme, In America. But she stayed By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 09:21 am
Met Gala 2021 Intro for September 14, 2021 Dear Gossips, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion was the theme of this year’s Met Gala, in support of the Costume Institute, the first of a two-part series that will conclude next May, when the Met Gala typically takes place. Per the exhibit description, “establishes a modern vocabulary By Lainey • Sep 14, 2021 08:19 am
What Else What Else? Kacey Musgraves performed for the first time at the VMAs last night. And what’s unusual about that is that she has an Album of the Year Grammy, one of the big four Grammy Awards, and considered by many to be the top Grammy. Like three years ago. And she’ By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 04:41 pm
Gabrielle Union Everyone’s in New York Remember that sniping a few weeks ago from some crusty Hollywood publicists about the Met Gala guest list and how too many influencers were going and the A List is staying away? Depends on who you refer to as the A List. Like Jennifer Aniston is for sure A List. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 02:27 pm
Relationship Assumption Fighting and Making out at the VMAs MTV is celebrating its 40th anniversary and this story kinda feels like a throwback to the MTV messiness of years past? Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain beefed at the VMAs at one point. There was also a tense situation at one of the shows between Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 12:41 pm
Relationship Assumption Bennifer: Back on the Block We interrupt our VMAs coverage now to focus on a spectacle that, for some of us at least, might actually be bigger than the MTV VMAs, ha. Actually, no, Jennifer Lopez presented at the VMAs, so I guess this kinda counts? For Bennifer content, though, it doesn’t, because Ben By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 10:31 am
Gorgessity Normani: VMAs Best Dressed Fashion at the MTV VMAs should not be what we see at the Emmys or the Oscars. Are we seriously hoping for Oscar de la Renta and no fun at an award show that’s notorious for over-the-top ridiculous spectacle? Remember, Lady Gaga once showed up in an By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 09:27 am
Music Intro for September 13, 2021 Dear Gossips, At the MTV VMAs last night, for its 40th anniversary, MTV brought back several industry legends at various points in the night to celebrate its history. Which makes sense for those of us who came of age at the same time but I am curious how many from By Lainey • Sep 13, 2021 08:24 am
