The whole point is to be outrageous and raise money for the museum
Like doing something outrageous like running for 24 hours to raise money for charity

The elites party and pretend to be fighting for social causes that give them power.
Tax the Rich is code for Let them Eat Cake and Wear Masks.
Trinity
Zoom in on the photos when lots of people in the background and about 80% masked up
The masked ones are their servants.

According to one media outlet, this was 'The Frocky Horror Show!'

Where are the Asians?

I agree with all 3 of you

Flaunting their wealth and elite status. No masks for them. While pretending they are on the side of the people. Literal champagne socialists.
Trinity
They lock down working people and mask them and their children. Then laugh at them behind their backs.
Trinity
Not a mask to be seen.
Fighto!
Great event for a great cause. Would love to have the chance to visit the Met one day!
Naomi looks fabulous! As do Rihanna, Amanda Gorman and Billie Eilish. All power to them!

the "Im a guy wearing a dress" thing is all played out by now.

“Fame, (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame, (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, (fame) what you need you have to borrow - Fame!”
Alfie Noakes
Yes, she looks amazing!

Iman is in the 3rd photo @alfienoakes 3:40pm and she looks ‘awesome’. Bowie is watching from somewhere, out there and smiling. None of ‘these’ would be who they are if it weren’t for His influences.
Alfie Noakes
Wasn't David Bowie on the board there for a while? I know he and Iman were regulars at this event. It's a magnificent place, hope I can visit again someday.

Eilish, the belle of the ball, wore Oscar de la Renta. She told Vogue: "It was time for this. I feel like I've grown so much over the last few years."
Oh dear, Billie. This isnt “growing”, its becoming what you once pretended to despise.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed up in an Brother Vellies by Aurora James gown of white with a message splashed in red across the back: "Tax the Rich."
A nice display of AOC’s utter contempt for the poor, as she rubs it in their faces while strutting in her $30,000 gown.
Her purse was a black leather dachshund.
There were hair statements as well.
”Statements”. Yes indeed.

Looks pretty trashy to me. Not as bad as the Video Music awards, but super-trashy.

What does all her cultures mean?
She might hold a Japanese passport as it was convenient to be able to make a spot on a team although undeserving, but her culture is pure American.

Take it easy, folks! THEY know, we know it. - It’s “free advertising” for these narcissists, er “celebs”.
The whole point of the Met Gala and the outrageous fashions are to raise money and get people talking about who was there
… and who wasn’t.

The Olympics weren’t a total loss for Naomi. - She has one small, ‘gold medal’,
… on the front zipper of her Met Gala dress.
snowymountainhell
And ‘sporting well’, at least three of the presumedly Olympic Rings?? -
So, some would still say Osaka’s been “a good sport” … until she threw racket at the U.S. Open.
From then on, sympathies been lost to most and the ‘kid gloves’ are off.
snowymountainhell
Naomi Osaka looks ‘fresh and well-rested’, even though she apparently, ‘just flew in”.
Helix
Its disgusting.
Tom San
Even the guys get to wear their dresses.
Brian Wheway
That blue dress that Amanda is waring is stunning. most of the other outfits are pretty awful.
Wakarimasen
Meh. More bread and circuses. The sheer brass neck of these people at a time when working folks are suffering, out of work etc is awful. and most of them profess to be for the poor and downtrodden. I guess for the "bread" part they would all be for UBI.
