Forget the Gala, The Met’s New Fashion Exhibit Understood the Assignment
This year’s Met Gala was the site of some major sartorial wins and losses. Celebrities and designers interpreted the night’s theme, “American Independence,” rather inconsistently. From Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statement-making gown (a win, in our opinion) to Justin Bieber’s sloppy suit, the night peaked at thrilling highs and dropped to concerning lows. On Monday night, each celebrity appearance was gauged […]
Valentina’s Met Gala NFT Is Leading the Call to End Anti-Trans Violence
When challenged to meet the theme of “American Independence” for this year’s MET Gala, supermodel Valentina Sampaio began thinking earnestly about what it means to be an American in 2021. For Sampaio, who has already made history several times throughout her career, the question couldn’t be answered without considering her own viewpoint as a trans […]
Let’s All Agree That Balenciaga Won the Met Gala
Not everything is a competition, but if the Met Gala was considered one, Balenciaga definitely took home the gold this year.

So forgive me for taking a second to […]
Sorry, But These Are the Absolute Worst Met Gala Fits
It’s the second Monday of September, and the fashion world’s ultimate bird watching event has officially taken place on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — more specifically, the Met Gala Carpet. While The Metropolitan’s entrance is often the site of many ooo’s and aaa’s, the outfits that land face-first into the mud are what keep us watching. Like all true […]
Met Gala 2021’s Best Looks Are New York’s “Nature Is Healing” Moment
The Met Gala is back! Not that you or I will ever be going, but it’s one of those “nature is healing” kinda moments, at least, representing the normalization of New York. From the fake seating chart drama to the celeb hosts, there’s much to be excited about. The theme for the night is American […]
That Fake Met Gala Seating Chart Is Realer Than You Think
The Twittersphere has caught fire with hot takes on a fake Met Gala seating chart posted by Instagram account @_metgala2021 (unaffiliated with the actual Metropolitan Museum of Art). Though the page — dedicated to predictions surrounding the upcoming extravaganza and celebrity red carpet moments of yore — aggressively hinted that the chart is pure speculation (“nothing is […]
