Met Gala 2018 "Pretty Girl" Crowns: The Met’s Most Overdone Accessory They just kept piling up. When Lily Collins arrived in what I described as her “Wednesday Addams First Communion” outfit, I was stunned by the spiky saintly halo. Even when she posed with Hailee Steinfeld, who had the whole ‘Heavenly Angel’ interpretation going kind of literally, it was kind of By Duana • May 08, 2018 09:27 am
Met Gala 2018 Katy Perry & Evan Rachel Wood: Met Angel, Archangel Katy Perry and Evan Rachel Wood weren’t the only feathered angels last night. But they were the only ones I remember. Katy Perry is the most obvious angel, as befits Katy Perry. It’s not like Katy ever does anything subtly. So, of course, her angel wings are going By Lainey • May 08, 2018 09:07 am
Met Gala 2018 Shawn Mendes & Hailey Baldwin: Met Official Go off, Shawn Mendes. He’s been on a roll. First, there were the shockingly great new singles. Then, there was the mature and introspective music video. Now, Shawn has made it red-carpet official with Hailey Baldwin and at the biggest red carpet event of the year. This kid is By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 08:47 am
Met Gala 2018 Sarah Jessica Parker: Best Met Royalty I’m mad now. I went to google how long SJP and Andy Cohen had been friends and got sucked into a long chain of Plead The Fifth segments (which I am going to make all of our friends play next time we’re all together) and wasted an obscene By Duana • May 08, 2018 08:28 am
Met Gala 2018 Zoe Kravitz: Met’s Best Literal Interpretation There is nothing that makes me more mad than people who don’t lean into the theme of the Met Gala, except maybe people who decide they’re going to wear a straight up costume. More on both those offenses later. But there is a way to break the rules. By Duana • May 08, 2018 08:15 am
Assy Style Bradley Cooper & Irina Shayk: First Met Carpet First any carpet, actually. Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk have both been at the Met Gala together. But they’ve never walked the carpet at the Met Gala together. It’s only taken them three years and a child. I’m curious about what this means. A Star Is Born By Lainey • May 08, 2018 07:58 am
Met Gala 2018 Cardi B: Met’s best new player This is Cardi B’s first Met Gala. Aren’t you sad now that we haven’t had years of Cardi x the Met? Cardi came out swinging. LOOK AT HER. There’s no coasting on a basic body-con dress because a) she’s pregnant or b) it’s her By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 07:29 am
Met Gala 2018 Janelle Monae: Best Met Synergy Here is gifted actress, musician, and fashion icon Janelle Monae at the Met Gala: Here is gifted actress, musician, and fashion icon Janelle Monae as pictured on her new album Dirty Computer: I believe this is what we call ‘synergy’. I guess it’s possible that it was unconscious that By Duana • May 08, 2018 06:56 am
Met Gala 2018 Ariana Grande & Gigi Hadid: The Met’s Newbie & Veteran Gigi Hadid is only 23 and she is a Met Gala pro – this year, she was dressed in Versace. The dress is meant to catch the light, much like a stained-glass window. It moves from light to dark, glowing and ornate with gold details and, according to the Versace Instagram By Maria • May 08, 2018 06:39 am
Met Gala 2018 Kerry Washington & Uma Thurman: Met Best Hair All night I kept trying to figure out why people seemed so much more comfortable this year at the Met Gala. Is it just me? Didn’t they all look and seem that much more comfortable? My theory is that because of the theme, they were, ironically perhaps, liberated from By Lainey • May 08, 2018 06:15 am
Met Gala 2018 Letitia Wright: Met’s little sister That feels unfair. Letitia Wright is 24 years old. She’s older than both Gigi and Bella Hadid and yet, she still feels like a little sister always. I was shipping Letitia Wright and Sebastian Stan for a hot second until Sarah yelled at me, as she does often, for By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 05:50 am
Met Gala 2018 Tracee Ellis Ross & Yara Shahidi: Met letdown As I said yesterday, Tracee Ellis Ross is one of the ones I wait for. She was worth waiting for last year. This year though… Duana called it “Diana Ross cosplay” which, like, if there’s ever going to be anyone to cosplay Diana Ross, it’s Tracee Ellis Ross. By Lainey • May 08, 2018 05:20 am
Met Gala 2018 Lena Waithe: Best Met statement Last September, Lena Waithe gave one of the all-time best Emmy speeches. I remember pausing the show right after Lena’s speech and transcribing every word she said to accept her Emmy as the first black woman to win for comedy writing on a note in my phone. That note By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 05:03 am
Met Gala 2018 Three Nuns Walk into the Met Gala OK none of these women are actually dressed like nuns, but let’s go with it. First, Alicia Vikander (who, to me, has very low energy on the red carpet) and Jennifer Connelly, who I was semi-excited about seeing. Both are in Louis Vuitton and both designs clearly had a By Maria • May 08, 2018 04:50 am
Met Gala 2018 Jaden, Jared, and Trevor: Two Eye-rolls and a Stud at the Met Gala When Duana and I were lining up our coverage last night, we had a column called the “f-ck off” list. You will soon read who made the “f-ck off” list. Spoiler: a few Oscar nominated and winning actresses. Also Jared Leto. It was a f-ck off for Jared Leto at By Lainey • May 08, 2018 04:30 am
Met Gala 2018 The Olsens & Wendi Deng: Met Billionaires Where do I start – Wendi Deng or the Olsens? For the Olsens, it will be quick and easy as my point from last year still stands – the Olsens have a specific aesthetic and an innate sense of style, and they don’t bend the knee to anyone (including Anna Wintour) By Maria • May 08, 2018 04:16 am
