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 too am only in it to see Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, so at best I’ll stay up until their looks hit the timeline.

A pink t shirt dress with stains from that time I painted the hallway

I won't be as I need an early night and am not into fashion but since I've got into a podcast about SATC where the hosts are very interested in fashion, I am more interested than I would have been. I just like listening to them 😀 so I'll definitely look at the pics and look forward to their commentary!

Whats the podcast? 👀

I am amused at all these people falling over themselves to open the thread and having the urge to comment that they have absolutely no idea what this is about!

Why?

Surely it's just part of the conversation?

It would be different if they were all asking "What is it?" because they're too lazy to Google, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I've no idea what it is. I'm assuming it's some American celebrity shite? So no, I won't be staying up

If you saw the film Ocean’s Eight, it’s the big NY fashion party where Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling and co steal a freakishly expensive diamond necklace from Anne Hathaway.

jay55 · 04/05/2026 14:56

I’ll enjoy the clothes tomorrow.

Yes I’m just there for Connor and Hudson too.

I love fashion but would not stay up for this. I will look at the photos tomorrow.

I watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 last week and enjoyed it. I didn’t recognise all the cameos though!

Perhaps they needed the full surname, I must admit I had to think for a second.

Apologies @mumofoneAloneandwell - Beyonce hasn't been for 10 years but apparently will be there tonight.

That's exciting - renaissance act iii is coming!

Yes! Rock-naissance! 🥰

@Thefastandthecurious5, it’s on the vogue you tube channel from 11pm. The heated rivalry fandom has bought the event to the attention of a whole host of Gen X women! If anyone wants to waste several hours of their life move over to Threads for the next 24 hours.

I’m hoping someone wears a “Death of Ophelia” themed dress- great theme this year with lots of scope for creativity, but you never know how the stylists will run with it!

That would be cool to see

I'm really looking forward to seeing the interpretations as well, its gonna be a good one, despite the absences

Will you stay up for the MET GALA 2026 tonight?
