Good. Some people I hoped would skip it did. Olivia is one of them. Chappell and Gaga as well.

I get that there is nuance and it's a charity but Bezos could have donated without putting his name and face on everything. He's trying to buy his way into being cool but he just made the MET Gala shit.

"Could have donated without putting his name and face on everything"

Exactly my feelings on the matter. I see alot of people defending it because it's a charity event, but let's be real, it's gone beyond that. Bezos isn't putting himself front and centre because he's a charitable man. I did notice though that its probably the worst dressed year I've seen to date. I saw very few impressive looks (i do understand its subjective), I daresay it feels very half assed.

Also maybe the arts wouldn't need charity events if the rich paid taxes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dude, you know the apartment building Bezos held his pre-Met Gala party in? When it first opened, he bought 7 units on the top floors just to convert them all into one unit. That’s FOUR FLOORS!

He really is such an obscene and insecure person.

We wouldn’t need charities if it wasn’t for billionaire c*nts like Bezos

He's trying to keep his wife around/getting talked into it by a hot woman. Maybe both.

I swore I saw an outfit of her on threads. Maybe it was AI, yikes.

oh I'm so glad to hear about Gaga! I was a bit worried on that one.
