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?

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

Ohh okay

It just doesn't... work for her

The felt lining looks a little cheap as well

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!

I'm interested in the outfits but will be happy to look in the morning. Then there'll be some commentary available too. Will be fun to see the Bezoses try and look like fashion leaders. Not sure that's why they've been accepted as the sponsors.

Edited

I'm keen to see what they wear and who dresses them!

Nope. I have zero interest in fashion and I have no idea who Kim K and Law Roach are anyway.

You dont know who Kim k is?

No. Doesn't interest me.

TheMateofOphelia · 04/05/2026 13:55

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

That's exciting - renaissance act iii is coming!

I do love the fashion, it's always out there but fun to watch, I don't stay up for it but will be scrolling in the morning to have a good luck at the hits and misses of the night. Looking forward to seeing Beyonce on it as it's her first one in years. Lauren and Jeff bezos are the big sponsors this year so will be interesting to see who dresses them and the outfits too. And I think of all the seamstresses in the designer houses and the work they have put in over hours and months for a dress that will be worn once !

They're old enough to dress themselves!

🤣🤣🤣

😩😄

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

Show quote history

That maybe so, but it doesn't interest me in the slightest. Like I said I'd rather walk on hot coals, but I hope YOU enjoy it!

ByNimbleGreenFinch · 04/05/2026 13:48

No. I used to like it back in the day when there were some beautiful dresses but now it’s just one big tacky publicity stunt. I’ve completely lost interest

No, it's so tacky now, it seems to be about who can wear the most outrageously awful outfit to get the most clicks.

it all went wrong when it changed from being the Met Ball, when it was about fashion and beautifully dressed socialites, to the Met Gala revolving around celebrities who don't can't get out of bed without their stylist and glam squad.

Its definitely not exclusive enough now

I have no idea what it is either, but I value my sleep over what frocks celebrities are wearing for a night out. So it’s a no from me.
