The Met Gala

 

Hi Natty!  Natty, you're so pretty!  I want to hug and kiss you!  But I guess you are very busy right now.  Such as you should be, the world needs you.  You have things to do and things to endorse, Mrs. Rock Star.

I'm not a fashion historian nor expert by any means.  I like what I like, and that's it.  This year I learned that the Met Gala is thematic.  Isn't that nice?  If I had to go (and I were aware of the theme), I would have borrowed a look from the movie, "Gangs of New York".  But I didn't go, and I would have been too lazy to put in an effort if I had the means to go.  I'm just an opinionated fashion critic.  Theme aside, the best dressed of the Met Gala 2022 is Lily Aldridge:
