Lady Gaga Lady Gaga & Cardi B: Best Met Theatre You knew it was going to be SOMETHING. When Lady Gaga was confirmed as one of the co-chairs of the Met Gala, with the theme being Camp, nobody had any doubts that it was going to be the most literal interpretation of the theme from the woman who’s already By Lainey • May 07, 2019 11:21 am
Met Gala 2019 Celine Dion: Best Met Cheese I could have grouped Celine Dion with the other silver headpieces – and I actually suggested it to Duana, because our list was starting to get real aggressive, and I thought, maybe, since we haven’t slept, we might want to conserve energy. She told me that was blasphemy and she’ By Lainey • May 07, 2019 10:35 am
Top Reads Tessa, Natasha, and Kristen: a Warrior, a Doll, and a Knight go to the Met Gala There are always those people who talk about change like it’s a degradation of the standard that once was. Sometimes it’s true. Like, maybe your favourite restaurant isn’t the same anymore because they flipped the menu and, sure, that’s fair. But what about the people who By Lainey • May 07, 2019 09:45 am
Met Gala 2019 Solange & Zoe Saldana: the Curse of Met Gala Expectations Did Zoe Saldana look good last night? Of course. The rust-coloured, one arm sequined dress with the neck tie and matching stole fit her beautifully. Her hair was great. The giant purple flower was great. And at any other event, she’d be a contender. At this event, though? When By Lainey • May 07, 2019 09:15 am
Met Gala 2019 Katy, JLo, Gemma, and Gigi: the Met Gala silver headpieces No one can say that Katy Perry doesn’t put in the effort. When you walk the Met Gala carpet as a chandelier, that’s effort. Anna Wintour certainly appreciates that, year after year, Katy brings her brand of spectacle to the event. And never has a Met Gala theme By Lainey • May 07, 2019 07:49 am
Nicki Minaj Kacey, Hailey, Nicki: the Met Gala Barbies Nicki Minaj’s association with “Barbie” is well-known. From the moment she came on the scene, “Barbie” has been her whole deal, her “barbz” ride-or-die with her every feud. Seeing her last night in “Barbie” pink, with a “Barbie” high ponytail, was almost a throwback. Or a flashback. I keep By Lainey • May 07, 2019 05:46 am
Met Gala 2019 Tracee Ellis-Ross & Lena Waithe: Best Met Messages Lena Waithe delivered the best statement at last year’s Met Gala when the theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”, commanding the red carpet in a rainbow cape meant as a super-shield of support and strength for those rejected by a divine prescription that is selective and By Lainey • May 07, 2019 05:04 am
Met Gala 2019 Alessia, Emma, Lana, Lucy: Met Gala Tulle Tulle is, in and of itself, one of the most extra of fabrics. Tulle is not often used sparingly. Tulle is almost always presented to us in excess. Tulle is also a tutu, seen on ballerinas. And, as Prem wrote in his post about Camp yesterday, Louis XIV was the By Lainey • May 07, 2019 04:41 am
Met Gala 2019 Intro for May 7, 2019 Dear Gossips, Rihanna, the High Priestess of the Met Gala, did not show up at the Met Gala. I’m not mad about this decision. She knows now what she means to the Met Gala. She knows how people have reacted to her at the Met Gala. She understands the By Lainey • May 07, 2019 02:16 am
What Else What Else? A reminder once again that we’re pulling a Met Gala all-nighter and our first posts should be up at around 1am ET tonight and steadily rolling out through the early morning. Send us your thoughts, tweet us, let us know what you think of all the looks! Speaking of By Lainey • May 06, 2019 04:01 pm
Maple Leaf Keanu Reeves for Saint Laurent I had other thoughts I wanted to put in the title for this post. Like… Jared Leto could never. And… Johnny Depp only wishes. But first, let me show you what I’m talking about. I mean, this would be enough on its own: KEANU REEVES – FALL WINTER 19#YSL24 By Lainey • May 06, 2019 02:13 pm
Bad Style “She just wants to look pretty” Tonight is the Met Gala. It’s worth repeating, as we do every year, that the Met Gala is not an ordinary red carpet. The basics never seem to understand this which is why they think Blake Lively is Best Dressed year after year even though, year after year, she By Lainey • May 06, 2019 11:38 am
Baby and Bump Obsession A male heir for House Sussex I wrote about the verb tense in my previous post about Meghan Markle going into labour. That didn’t take long – it’s been confirmed that House Sussex has produced a male heir. Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex was safely delivered of a son at 0526hrs. The baby By Lainey • May 06, 2019 10:32 am

Game of Thrones Intro for May 6, 2019 Dear Gossips, As of post time, we are still awaiting the birth of Baby Sussex. Not yet born and already this royal child is a celebrity with celebrity tendencies: celebrities never show up on time. Celebrities exist to make us wait. They are, also, skilled in the art of cockblocking. By Lainey • May 06, 2019 08:27 am
What Else What Else? I can’t wait until Sunday. Because …it’s a new world in Westeros. In so many ways. Not only because the age of Cersei is clearly longer than the night but because well, it is indeed a new day now that, you know, I don’t have to look By Lainey • May 03, 2019 03:59 pm
