The Meh-t Gala

Rihanna at the Met Gala in 2017 - this year she was MIA (but this dress/situation would've done nicely for the Garden of Time dress code)

It’s one of fashion’s biggest moments on the first Monday in May, but this year’s Met Gala was a little underwhelming for many fans with an absence of any really wild outfits (remember Jared Leto’s Choupette costume last year?) and several big stars MIA… In a sea of beige and black, there were a few standouts who really leaned into the theme of ‘The Garden of Time’. Our faves include Demi Moore channelling the Queen of Hearts, Cynthia Erivo’s “run through a garden” half-tux, half-gown, and model Wisdom Kaye’s burnt-poppy with big jewellery look which was on fire (literally)… The absence of stars like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé raised some eyebrows, but not as many as the fake Katy Perry – who really wasn’t in attendance despite first appearances… Which is a shame as her non-existent garden gown would have been our pick of the bunch.
