Met Gala 2018 Black Excellence at the Met Gala after party “I’m rooting for everybody black.” Issa Rae said this at the 2017 Emmy Awards and it’s a sentiment that holds up for me at every awards show, and in life in general, but especially at the Met Gala, I was rooting for everybody black.

Style Rihanna: Met Best Dressed (Lainey) Well. Who the f-ck else would it be? I want you to picture her face and hear her voice while you’re reading that sentence – Who.The.F-ck.Else.Would.It.Be? Do you wonder if there was anyone else who dared to think about a pope hat? Or does By Lainey • May 08, 2018 12:26 pm
Gorgessity Jennifer Lopez: Met Best Dressed (Duana) I checked and checked myself. Is she really my best dressed? Is this really the most arresting look of the night? But it is undeniable. This is the one I loved best. I think I might be grading on a curve again, but the overall look is like nothing we’ By Duana • May 08, 2018 12:18 pm
Met Gala 2018 Chadwick Boseman: Kathleen's 2018 Met's Best Dressed I refuse to pretend to have any chill about Chadwick Boseman’s Met Gala look. I was out at dinner with friends when I saw the first photos of Chadwick arriving on the Met steps and I rudely interrupted my friend’s story with, “HOLY F-CKING SH-T CHADWICK.” I then By Kathleen • May 08, 2018 12:04 pm
Met Gala 2018 Scarlett Johannsen: Duana's 2018 Met's Worst Dressed Look, she was already going to be my worst dressed. She was already on the “f-ck you” list for showing up to THE COSTUME INSTITUTE in something that looks like it was an also-ran for one of her We Got A Zoo premieres in Europe. I get that the highlight By Duana • May 08, 2018 11:52 am
Met Gala 2018 Selena Gomez: 2018 Met’s Worst Dressed (Lainey) I wrote yesterday, ahead of the Met Gala, that since Selena Gomez would be repping Coach, I wasn’t expecting her to really be a major player on the red carpet because Coach hasn’t really delivered in the high fashion game. But then Letitia Wright showed up. In Coach. By Lainey • May 08, 2018 11:33 am
Met Gala 2018 Zendaya: Best Met Armor I mean, God. She could have also been best Joan of Arc cosplay, best imitation of metal, best custom Versace any of us can remember. It’s truly spectacular. I can’t stop looking at it. And to top some of her previous Met Gala looks is an extremely high By Duana • May 08, 2018 11:13 am
Met Gala 2018 Donald Glover: Met Weekend Winner Is it weird to say that Donald Glover ‘won’ the weekend considering what he won with? I hope not, because to not do so would take away from how… everything he is. So yesterday Kathleen asked ‘HOW is he so good at everything?’ and I self-importantly texted her to tell By Duana • May 08, 2018 10:51 am
Met Gala 2018 Solange’s Durag: the Best Met Accessory In yesterday’s What Else I linked to a post by the Fug Girls about Solange, noting that she may have already won the Met Gala before the Met Gala event started because this weekend she posted 4 look combinations on Twitter asking her followers to weigh in. Not surprisingly By Lainey • May 08, 2018 10:37 am
Met Gala 2018 Michelle Williams & Emma Stone: Met Worst Effort It’s a THEMED Gala! Where the theme is about what you wear! THEEEEMMME! Do these two really deserve to be yelled at in the same breath? Maybe not, though I think putting them in the same category is understandable… and yes, they’re both wearing Louis Vuitton, but that’ By Duana • May 08, 2018 10:04 am
Met Gala 2018 Gisele & Tom: Met’s Worst Versace Yesterday when I posted about Gisele Bundchen, I mentioned that I wasn’t sure if I’d be including her in today’s Met Gala coverage because of what happened last year, when she and Tom were co-chairs for the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons exhibit and couldn’t be By Lainey • May 08, 2018 09:42 am
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
