OFFICIAL 2025 Met Gala Ball Thread

Ms. Diana Ross!

[quote] as well as late night host Jimmy Fallon.

🤮

After which the three ladies will remain on permanent exhibit in the Temple of Dendur.

Catered by POPEYES.

Miss Ross the Boss!!!

Pass.

I wonder if Madonna will be nicer to Diana's children.

All invitees will be flown via Spirit Airlines.

Diana Ross looks fantastic in OP’s pic. She’s now 81 years old.

Pharrel Williams should dress in his Louis Vuitton Speedy creation. That's right, his outfit should be a giant handbag.

Angela Bassett is a movie star?

Jamie Lee will be invited once they announce a “Chicks with Dicks” theme.

I wonder if Ivanka will attend?

I was molested by a man who only had one ball.

“This will NOT be a Supremes reunion. This is MY event!”

I'm normally entertained by the Gold Star Attention Whoring of it all, but I'm in no mood for it this year. It sort of looks like the Hunger Games Capitol Fashion parade

R9 and why do you think that is a picture of Diana Ross taken this year?

Remember when Elon used to be welcome?

Why is written Stevie Wonder yet is accompanied by a photo of Stevie Nicks?

LOL I came to say the same, R19. Somebody (probably AI) messed up.

About as relevant as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

In the current climate I can foresee things going very wrong for this event. White guests wearing outfits that Black guests think are patronizing or cultural appropriation, etc. It's a fine line to tread. If I was a stylist I'd be scared.

I was going to say, R22, there is *huge* downside potential for anyone who isn’t black. Expect a few massive faux pas.

You expect white people to dress like Buckwheat?

“Blake Lively stuns in an Aunt Jemima-inspired pinafore dress and head wrap by Dolce & Gabbana”

Yep, that's the sort of thing I'm envisaging.

Ooof, there are gonna be a lot of mistakes made here.

R18: Remember when legitimate A listers were welcome and used to go.

DL must expect a replay of this classic moment......

I'm looking forward to seeing all the dandy-dressed people. Superfine is a fun title for the event too. I know this is DL and raptor sharp cynicism and wit is the norm, but I'm genuinely pleased with the concept idea. Go dandies!

Is Diddy invited this year ? Kanye West ? It won't be the same without them.

[quote]Is Diddy invited this year ?

Miss Combs regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam.

Kanye is off invitation lists in polite society, but that doesn't mean he won't show up with naked Bianca in tow. Anna Wintour probably has a contingency plan in case.

I wish I were going. This is the song they should play on the red carpet.

Was he, r18? Imagine how anguished he mist have been ten holding back his Sieg Heils. What a relief it must be to finally let his authentic self manifest.

Demi lost the Oscar and she's carrying on as if she had won. Is she pretending?

“Black style”? What is that exactly in terms of formal wear? I don’t know of any distinction between races or ethnicities in regards to formal wear. Am I having a Rose moment? I honestly don’t get it.

r35 -- I think so. He attended several times before he revealed who he is. He wasn't invited last year and criticized them for not being refreshing enough, or something like that. Like Kanye West he's gradually being dropped from polite society invitation lists.

This smacks a little too much of 'The Darktown Strutter's Ball'. I'm fascinated but am prepared to be offended.

When does this abortion take place?

[quote]I'm looking forward to seeing all the dandy-dressed people.

I hope many people attempt to try for dandyism, but I think many will go with looks from the exhibits twelve concepts: ownership, presence, distinction, disguise, freedom, champion, respectability, jook, heritage, beauty, cool and cosmopolitanism.

I hope my Vogue magazine/Vogue Club subscription nets me a few Met Gala goodies again this year.

May get Taylor and Kelce!!!

[quote]Like Kanye West he's gradually being dropped from polite society invitation lists.

R38 please, your little leftwing covens/fuckfests are coming to and end and you don't realize it.

In five years' time, conservatives will take over the U.S. entertainment industry and the devil-worshipping liberals will become personas non grata!

R37 You are race-blind. You don't see color. You are not prejudiced. Some of your best friends are black.

You’re an idiot r45. 😂

Stevie Wonder looking a little pale there. 🤣🤣

Kamala is stunning.

Yes r48, this could have been our President instead of that shitfaced hog.

Miss Ross, TONIGHT!

Civil rights panties

This article is a good overview:

Did Kamala skip the red carpet?

R48 Damn, she looks good.

Ms Harris

She can go fuck herself!

mET!!!

Getting trounced harder than Hillary, then appearing at the very next Met Gala months later. Took Hillz years to recover, times really have changed. I don't know if for the better, though.

Did Diana Ross get that outfit from the set of Sextette?

R37

Call me Miss Ross!

Why the long face, Madonna?

Was JLo wearing "Schiaparelli"?

Miss Ross, brought to you by Ozempic.

Madonna, brought to you by a turkey club with fries in the cab on the way over.

Halle looks terrible.

Love Janelle and Tessa Thompson

Pam Anderson looks out of place

Cardi B and Nicole Kidman look great

Miss Ross' outfit is bad for the environment.

No one will ever wear that thing again, and it will take 10,000 years for it to even begin to biodegrade.

Bea & Lucy visited from the Great Beyond in their B/W ensembles to prove they're still bosom buddies!

Regarding Diana Ross' love of volume in hair and costume, Ginger Rogers got there first in this fugly Edith Head get up in "Lady in the Dark."

Diana looks like a mess. Why would you wear that when you have a huge gut? Madonna looks horrifying. This event did no one any favors. It’s time for Anna Wintour to hit the freakin road already. She’s done enough damage.

Why are the White guys dressed like plantation owners? Looking at you, Andrew Scott!

Wow. That pic at R69 is a classic image of narcissistic hate and rage. It should be included in Cluster B textbooks.

Truly terrifying.

Madge looks like a hardened Kylie Minogue now.

Anna doesn’t always choose her themes wisely. The “Heavenly Bodies” one was great: the Catholic Church is all about dramatic costumes. But style, dandyism, coolness — that’s about *how* person wears clothes, not the clothes themselves. It’s very much not about walking around wearing a small building.

[quote]Anna doesn’t always choose her themes wisely. The “Heavenly Bodies” one was great

Imagine having the time to conjure up such ridiculous themes such as this. Good god.

They say after 50 you have the face you've earned. Madonna's reminding me of latter day Faye Dunaway, a bitter has-been.

Madonna’s ears are huge.

From the back Halle Berry looked great. From the front…

Back view:

I enjoyed the outfits for the most part, but I was disappointed there weren't more 70s inspired ideas. Or 60s mod dandies. I read somewhere that most of the white women seemed to be doing "gothic widow" looks and now I can't unsee that description whenever I scroll through the images.

Janelle Monáe

[quote] Janelle Monáe

Is she still eating pussy or back on the dick? Asking for a friend.

Considering she’s pushing 70, I think Madonna actually looks good. It’s just her actual unaltered appearance is jarring now since all the images she posts are so heavily filtered. Her makeup artist also did her an injustice with the muted tones since her clothing was all white/cream colored which just made her looked washed out.

[quote] Her makeup artist also did her an injustice

I didn’t have much to work with.

Once inside the Met Gala, Miss Ross switched into an outfit she designed herself, supposedly inspired by her purple "Mahogany" costume that she had also designed.

Madonna switched into a similar color palette as Diana (above).

Why the same fabrics in different colors?

More...

R81, she looks like she belongs at the morgue.

[quote]Madonna looks horrifying.

[quote][R81], she looks like she belongs at the morgue.

Once again I am caught in the glare of the ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. The Patriarchy continues to try to crush my neck with their heavy boots, cut off my life force and take away my voice. DEATH TO THE PATRIARCHY! Now and forever! You won't break my soul!!
