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?

Its just such a vulgar display of pointless fashion to me. I can count on one hand the amount of outfits that I've thought "Wow".

Whatever Serena Williams was wearing last night at the warm up event was an abomination. I hope someone points her towards a mirror before she goes out the hotel tonight...

Off i go to Google Serenas outfit 😩

I had to Google what it is.

And the answer is no, I'd rather shit in my hands and clap.

So far it all seems to have been about who is not going instead of who is - I imagine Devil Wears Prada 2 will have a moment of some sort.....

I know! I feel like, so what Jeff bezos is there - you can't tell me youre all paying your taxes completely honestly 🙄🙄

Beyonce is a chairperson I think, so at least we'll get a fashion moment from her!
