While we wait to see if Rihanna makes it to the red (blue) carpet for the Great Pregnancy Reveal we’re all owed, what did you think of this year’s Met Gala?
No clangers, but no fireworks?
Some excellent tailoring and colossal trains, and a lot of Thom Browne, eBay and Josephine Baker kiss curls – but not a lot of historical references, vintage pieces or protest pins.
It was great to see lowkey British brands such as Priya Ahluwalia, Martine Rose and Wales Bonner on such a global stage, but the event was somewhat lacking when it comes to new, young, Black designers. Still, everyone braved the rain. It was perhaps just a little sad that André Leon Talley didn’t live to see it.
Until next year, that’s a wrap. Thanks for reading!

And so, Rihanna is pregnant again.
Hurrying into the Carlyle hotel in a cute powder blue three-piece, her tummy partially hidden by a stole, she flashed a bit of belly for the paps.
The last time the couple appeared at the Met Gala in 2023, Rihanna was pregnant with their second child, Riot. Back then, she wore a floral hooded gown by Valentino, and A$AP Rocky wore a suit jacket, jeans, and a kilt.
Given the reveal itself was saved for her Super Bowl 2023 Halftime Show, it’s fitting that the couple have chosen this year’s gala – in which A$AP Rocky is on the committee – for pregnancy reveal number three. As to whether she’ll actually make it to the gala, who knows. Rihanna is running on Rihanna time – Anna Wintour once admitted that the only person she’ll allow to be late is the singer.
