On the first Monday in May, fashion commentators and casual pyjama-clad observers alike come together to lament Met Gala attendees’ failure to “stick to the theme”, year on year. So much so, that even the most hideous of Met Gala outfits can salvage themselves a little slack if they remained “on theme” - one of the ultimate Met Gala compliments, tiers above our usual outfit qualifiers of “looking good” or “trendy”.
Well, luckily or not-so-luckily for us, we have slightly less to bitch about today, because yesterday’s Met Gala guests were as on theme as they’ve been since the holy Met Ball of 2018, when every A-lister came out of the fashion woodworks to serve a look for the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination theme.
