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'm not loving the white brick effect "red carpet". It just looks wrong.

Looks more like Vomit to me.

Enjoy!

I won’t stay up, but I’ll very much enjoy looking at all the photos in the morning!

oviraptor21 · 04/05/2026 22:17

I'm watching the snooker instead.

Venus is pretty much guaranteed to be classier than Serena who has always had a very odd idea of what looks good on her.

Agree with Venus looking better than serena

Disagree with watching snooker!! 😄

I'm watching people leaving a hotel, The Mark, as the vogue livestream starts at 11

I’ll be interested in seeing the outfits but nothing keeps me from my bed these days. Also think the Bezos’ involvement has cheapened the whole thing. The pee bottles amused me though.

The snooker has been hailed as one of the best finals ever. Probably the first one I've watched since .... probably the 1990s so I chose a good one!

JamMakingWannaBe · 04/05/2026 22:51

I'm on Associated Press. Split screen with the hotels and the not red red carpet. It's a bit grainy for close ups of the frocks.
The hotel bit is hilarious - they pose in their fabulous "creation" then stotter in their high heels to board a bus! The alien art one is not going to manage to sit comfortably!
Beyonce was not in the co-host cohort so she is either a no-show or will be making a grand entrance later.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 04/05/2026 22:56

Fingers crossed for a grand entrance from Bey

I am watching on the beeb now 👀

I don’t recognise any of these people? Quite looking forward to seeing what Beyoncé wears and Hudson Williams. But who are all these people?? Do I sense it’s not quite as a-list as the past?

It really isnt tbh

A lot of them will be newer actors - as soon as youre slightly famous, youre in it seems

I won't stay up, but I'll really enjoy looking at all the outfits on SM tomorrow. I especially love Fashion Critical's responses to all of the looks.

I can't get excited about a party I'm not invited to.
