It's the Met Gala Open Thread!

Welcome to the First Monday in May!

Happy Met Gala Monday, Broads!

If you need a primer on what’s happening tonight, we ran it down last week! In short: This year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s Spring Exhibition (that’s so many nouns in a row) is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which highlights many very rare pieces from the Met’s permanent collection deemed “far too fragile to ever be worn again.” Somewhat confusingly, this year the dress code is not the same as the exhibit; this time, it is “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story of the same title. Your celeb hosts this evening are Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny, and Chris Hemsworth — and I think I speak for all of us when I say that I can’t wait to see how Ben Affleck choses to interpret “The Garden of Time.” Maybe he’ll show up dressed like Cogsworth, and end up in a feud with noted costume-hater Tom Ford.
