I posted on AIBU last year so am doing the same:
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/5329008-to-ask-if-youll-be-watching-the-met-gala-2025-tonight

Why they dont do it on a sunday night, ive no idea 🙄🙄

Or even a Saturday?!

Anyway - will anyone stay up to watch the red carpet? They dont film the actual gala which is weird but anyway

This year's dress code is: Fashion is Art and the theme is: Costume Art

Celebs are boycotting because Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are going. I mean, what is the point, none of you are good people anyway 😫

Hoping to see Kim K, Rihanna, Beyonce, Law Roach (i dont think Zendaya is going)

Thoughts?

I just saw some footage of Stevie Nicks, she was there for the first time and looked fabulous on Galliano

HoldMyWine · 05/05/2026 19:14

yes her dress looked like a dish rag. She’s no Anna that’s for sure .

Iriseee · 05/05/2026 16:29

I've gone down a Chloe Malle rabbit hole after seeing her frankly dreadful dress inspired by the painting Flaming June. I'm so baffled by her. I'm not particularly stylish but turns out I have more fashion sense and style than the Content Editor of Vogue. Some interesting comments on Reddit.

HoldMyWine · 05/05/2026 16:01

Yes Emma is very classy.

BasiliskStare · 05/05/2026 15:57

I thought Emma Thynn looked lovely . More than a boring dress but not too outre. I am conservative with a small c though. 😊

HoldMyWine · 05/05/2026 10:09

Yes the Emma Chamberlain paint stroke dress was beautiful.

thebabessavedme · 05/05/2026 10:03

I think KKs fanny is going to very sore today, that looked so uncomfortable.

Anne Hathaways dress was totally beautiful

Kate Moss look very uninspiring

I love to see the wonderful, unwearable dresses, surely that's what the Met Gala is for.

As for Mrs Bezos, well, all that money and connections and that was the best she do?😴absolute bore.

I definitely though Lauren Bezos would go for something more out there but I quite like her dress, like Ashley's Graham's too. Love Venus williams dress and neck area but think she's missed with her earrings. (Sitting in my Primark pyjamas whilst commenting 🤣)

Yes, I was surprised at how ‘ordinary’ her dress was, although she may have had 6 ribs removed in the run up to the event, to get that impossible waist. Her enhanced mouth looked wider than her cinched waist.

henlake7 · 05/05/2026 09:45

Cardi Bs dress looks like she is smuggling intestines!
I quite like the drippy paint effect on Emma Chamberlain though.
I like the concept behind Kylie Jenners dress....but not the dress, it could of been done much better IMO.
Madonna looks like Bellatrix Lastrange!
Anok Yai-love the drama.
(and Heidi Klum representing the weirdos!😁)

TBH i thought it was abit disappointing. Quite alot of 'I bought this off Temu' vibes with some of the dresses.

Blake lively stole the show again, she never misses a beat. Loved Tyla’s dress too

Very hunger games!

It all is rather reminiscent of the Capitol in HG

WolfDaysOfMoon · 05/05/2026 03:19

Is everybody a ‘Chair’ of some kind?

Co-chairs, honorary co-chairs, chairs of the Gala, Chairs of host committee …

And they all look nuts.

Very hunger games!

ShockingBritain · 05/05/2026 09:28

I watched a clip about it this morning. To me it seemed famous and/or extremely rich people posing in ridiculous outfits. Not my thing. Borefest to some and others suck up their heroes waving to the plebs.

HoldMyWine · 05/05/2026 09:19

I liked Heidi Klim’s too , she doesn’t take herself too seriously.
Agree Beyoncé looked amazing as well.

PullTheBricksDown · 05/05/2026 09:12

Liked Naomi Watts and Charli xcx's dresses best. Heidi Klum's statue outfit was a proper out there Met Gala effort, well done to her! Likewise Beyoncé's skeleton frock and Kim K got into the spirit. Liked Hailey Bieber's outfit too. I like Emily Blunt as an actor but hers was a bit too 'fancy top with black trousers' - that's the kind of thing I might wear to the Met Gala which is not what I hope to see!

HoldMyWine · 05/05/2026 09:09

Emily Blunt looked so classy.
I did like Eileen Gu’s bubble dress.

EasternStandard · 05/05/2026 08:43

Just looking at some pics rather than watching. Amanda Seyfried has a pretty sensible dress, she looks really good, make up and hair and generally.

If that's ‘fashion’ then thank goodness I am unfashionable.
I’ve never seen such a gabble of ridiculous, ugly outfits in my life (and the extreme plastic surgery that many think makes them beautiful!)

Show quote history

Totally agree . Nicole Kidman parading around with her 17 year old daughter who seems to have become her plus one. She seems determined for Sunday to be part of that vacuous world of modelling and emptiness instead of actually having a career.

Effervescentfrothy · 05/05/2026 08:30

BridgetJonesV2 · 04/05/2026 13:48

It was this.....it just seems so tacky and desperate from a Mother with kids.

Oh my God, that’s horrific

Tiddlywinks63 · 05/05/2026 08:25

mumofoneAloneandwell · 04/05/2026 13:28

😩😄

Its a huge night in the fashion world, dah-ling!

I've got a choice of looks for tonight's judge fest

A black t shirt dress with a hole in
A pink t shirt dress with stains from that time I painted the hallway

🤔

ooooh....
real fashion!!
what did you decide on?

SpringIsSpringing2026 · 05/05/2026 08:09

mumofoneAloneandwell · 04/05/2026 22:12

😭😭 thank you @SpringIsSpringing2026

We should get you and Anna Wintour together sometime

🤣yeah, I'd definitely be wearing sunglasses too!

Whats the podcast? 👀

Show quote history

It's called Every Outfit on SATC. It's pop culture and fashion but they do a monthly SATC rewatch episode and it gets talked about in most episodes as they're obsessed with it 😁

keepswimming38 · 05/05/2026 04:18

It’s tacky and quite frankly tasteless in this climate. We are being told we are going to have to adopt a new way of living due to the Iran war; less holidays, use less fuel etc etc and there they all are on parade. I’ve never watched it anyway but the only celebrities I have time for are the ones that are boycotting it.
