Okay, hear me out: Met Gala = bougie prom night. :sweat_smile: Think about it. Fashion battles, popularity contests, and someone always shows up looking like they missed the theme memo.

For real! Remember when Frank Ocean came with the little green doll in 2021? Like, bro, who invited Baby Shrek? :rofl:

It’s all about the afterparties tho! :tada: Like, we only get to see the red carpet, but the real tea happens when the cameras are off. Who’s gonna spill? :eyes:

Honestly, it gives me Gossip Girl vibes. Like, who’s gonna be the Blair and Serena of this year’s Met? :woman_detective:

Plot twist: The Met Gala is just a Truman Show set for celebs. We’re all extras in their world. :alien:

Can we talk about the environmental impact though? :thinking: So many outfits probably never get worn again. Reuse, recycle y’all!

Facts! Zendaya’s Cinderella dress was iconic, but what happens to it after? Closet goals or fashion landfill? :globe_showing_americas:

Real ones know it’s all about the memes. Remember the ketchup and fries outfits? :joy:

Does ANYONE know what actually happens inside? It’s like the Area 51 of fashion. :alien:

Low-key, it’s the one time celebs get real creative. When else do you see someone pull off a chandelier dress? cough Katy Perry cough

IDK why they don’t livestream the whole thing. I’d pay to watch Kim K navigate stairs in a skin-tight outfit. :movie_camera:

If Met Gala themes were school subjects, which one would be the hardest? My vote: ‘Heavenly Bodies’. That was an AP-level challenge!

More sneaker collabs for Met Gala, less heels! Give me a Balenciaga x Jordan for the next theme.

Real question tho: Is there a thrift store equivalent of the Met Gala? I wanna attend without selling a kidney. :joy:

I just wanna know who decides these themes. What’s next, ‘Loungewear Chic’? Can’t wait to see PJs on the red carpet. :sleeping_face:

It’s just the Hunger Games for fashion. ‘May the odds be ever in your favor’ at making the best-dressed list. :dress::fire:

If celebs are the tributes, who’s the fashion Gamemaker? Anna Wintour is the real MVP. :fire:

All I’m saying is: if Timothée wears cargo shorts to the next gala, I’m here for it. :clown_face:
