That Is All Meryl Streep GIF

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?

This is more my style. A little bit of effort and a can of Special Brew.

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 🤣)

I honestly could not give a crap

JamMakingWannaBe · 04/05/2026 23:21

NO idea. I didn't have the photographer audio commentary on.

I saw Charlie XCX leave the hotel about 10:30 and she's just walked the not red carpet so we'll get a second viewing in about 45 minutes.

Was that Sam Smith in the black feather frock BTW? He/They looked half decent for once.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 04/05/2026 23:21

Ive never seen her outside of photos

Lauren Bezos is fucking sexy!! I get it 😄😄

Oh she wore schiapparelli earlier, she was wearing that grey dress with the little man attached to her

She went booby but the dress is tailored well and has some nice detailing. But as she is sponsoring the event I thought she'd go for something much more. Night is still young, waiting for Beyonce and Rihanna to show now

I think that as an event it’s lost it’s USP - it feels like it could just be the dress parade at the Oscars, there’s no real fashion innovation or a strong sense of theme anymore, it’s just rich famous women in long, designer dresses…. all a bit meh

I mean Lauren Sanchez looked rather nice and quite classy - that’s not what we want at the Met Gala! We want DRAMA!

True

Although I understand Jeff, I too would divorce my wife and give her half to be with Lauren, sorry

Custom schiaparelli - she needed to do more imo
