This was a great Met Gala for me tbh because I love women in suits and some of the men finally lived a little. I don't know who the hell Laura Harrier is but that look alone made it the most fun for me since Heavenly Bodies lol. Doja Cat was great. I liked Gigi's dress as a nod to Josephine Baker. Lorde's look was _terrible_ and I think this album is gonna be a gigantic mess (please understand I say this as one of the like ten people who loves Solar Power).

I keep on thinking about writing Solar Power Is Good Actually but I don't have anything to say, I didn't even realize people didn't like it until way later because I was kind of tapped out at the time…. HOWEVER, I was encouraged to see that one of the collaborators for Virgin has "Stoned at the Nail Salon" on her playlist lol https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4OTnxbhkoRYLxUZjQYcJFg?si=415a39cc0a3b47df somebody gets it!!!!

virgin is going to be "ohhh you guys didn't like the last thing... what about.. this???" and the "this" in question is completely indescribable nonsense

yeah it's going to be like… Lorde's Lover lol. Which means there will be some great album cuts and a whole lot of "what was that" radio singles

i don't mind the cover art or promotional images thus far... and i like the title... but the song makes the bad lover songs seem like artpop to me

i know you're a chappell hater but an interesting divide in gen z stars to me is stage presence—i feel like the first crop (Lorde–Olivia) did not really invest much in it but the post-Olivia ones really have. Benson Boone on SNL kind of crystallized this for me. He really knows how to own the stage.

We agree on all the worsts!!!!!!!!!! What is Maya Hawke doing, like - STOP!

My favs were Myha'la and Andre 3000's big piano. Love Shaboozey's beads and Laura Harrier (fake celeb) pants. I think what Cynthia Erivo wore is like in the top half of stuff she's worn in the last year, which is not to say good but it didn't make me go "oh BROTHER" but instead just "ah." I thought Joey King looked amazing ijbol.

i really liked tracy ellis ross…the weird silhouette did it for me! and the colors! but i really appreciated your write up on the theme which i had not thought about too hard. you made a number of points that explained to me why everyone showed up in the same fucking outfit lmao😭😭

i liked the colors and the idea of tracy’s, i’m just ultimately sick of that marc collection with the big dumb neoprene silhouettes…. like this pmo so bad: https://youtube.com/shorts/CnfJ0RSxWLw?si=wIHJ2MDP6vP6S3OC

i kind of don’t like or dislike doechi’s. i like the print and the leather but she looked like she was playing dress up and not like she’s one of the most important people at the met. and i hate the shoes
