I pray your benefit concert goes smoothly, Honey. So do you enjoy fashion, Grace? You need more clothes, that's for sure. Here's something for you to watch on that long drive back to Tennessee: The Met Gala 2024! I missed the live stream, so it's great that Vogue posted this on YouTube.
What is the Met Gala? It's a dress up party. The Boss Lady announces a snooty theme, and the guests do everything they can to slaughter it and show that they are snootier than the theme. But the bottom line is that nobody really cares about the theme: it's a race to be the best dressed of the party, particularly among the ladies. The show is basically just watching people go up the stairs. There is supposed to be something going on upstairs, but the crowd doesn't care about that. You can see in the video, the celebrities waiting in line and sweating in their hot stuffy outfits for their turn to go upstairs, while a throng of peons ogle at them from across the street. That is, what counts as celebrities nowadays. I can still see many TikTok and Instagram faces being invited to the party. Which means that you might get invited too, Grace! If you go, promise me you'll be elegant and not dress like a clown. You can let your hair be itself, just make sure the outfit matches the hair. Me? I don't want to go. Mary and I will wear all black and watch it on TV. I have bigger fish to fry.
So who gets to choose the winner? Me, of course! The winner of the Met Gala 2024 is... Alia Bhatt!
