crazy to think people other than anna wintour were in charge of the met gala

[joannawoods]

The Met Gala always reminds me of something The Capitol in the Hunger Games would do

[tahax]

Showing Rihanna's yellow dress is must when you talk about met

[shasha]

Billy Porter, Harry Styles, Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Jared Leto would've bodied this year's theme.

[EvelinKivi]

The editor of this deserves an invite next year 👏 👏 👏
