By the time you all get to read this, all the celebrities and wanna-bees, often in outlandish costumes…oh. Excuse me. ‘High fashion.’ Anyone lucky and/or rich enough will have sashayed up the sweeping, wide staircase into the Met Gala 2025, Anna Wintour’s must-be-seen social event of the year.
I’m serious about the staircase part.

And the costumes for people desperate for attention.
Tonight is the 2025 Met Gala.

This year’s theme has something to do with ‘black and white.’
I mean, people are so desperate to be invited, or at least have their name associated with this gauche display of wealth, status, and opulence that they’ll do damn near anything to to debase themselves to be a teensy part of the goings-on.
Like the Dumb Prince’s Stupid Wife has.
I thought they were stripped of their HRH titles, just like Princess Diana?

Sadly, it seems the co-chair of all this swankness won’t be there to lord it over the celebrants. LeBron James has a knee booboo and had to cry off from hosting.
LeBron James has suddenly pulled out of tonight’s Met Gala where he was scheduled to serve as the Honorary Chair, citing a knee injury as the reason.
The announcement came just hours before the event was set to begin, catching many by surprise.

…Coincidentally, today also marks the start of Diddy’s trial, taking place just miles from the Met Gala’s venue.
As far as P-Diddy’s trials and tribulations, I understand LeBron’s name has been mentioned.
…In a civil case filed in Florida April 1, Joseph Manzaro alleges, according to court docs obtained by E! News, that he was “drugged, transported against his will, and sexually maimed as a victim of a coercive and organized criminal enterprise,” facilitated by Combs and others back in 2015, and named celebs such as Beyoncé, Jay-Z and LeBron James as witnesses in the lawsuit.
Awkward. Hope his knee feels much better soon.
Excessive flop sweat will do that to you.
The glittery parade of party-goers has started from The Carlyle and other venues.
Sidney Sweeney has apparently arrived wearing clothes.

It seems the bad news bears have shown up intending to be rude as they seem to do for everything these days.
BREAKING: Terror supporters have gathered outside the Met Gala in NYC chanting for a “global intifada.”

They just can’t wait to put their hands on someone, even if it doesn’t make the first lick of sense.
I’m going to admit at this point that I have no idea anymore what these people are protesting. It’s a guy with an anti-Israel poster at the Met gala, getting into it with … a photojournalist?
Who are we even resisting? https://t.co/qq0xxr0qxT

It almost leads one to believe they’re not really there to ‘protest,’ but to cause hate, discontent, and violent disruption.
Am I being too cynical in questioning the purity of their motives?
I don’t think so.
But Ms. Wintour will surely come unglued if New York’s finest can’t keep the ruffians outside.
Mayor Adams will do his best to make sure the ballroom remains Hamas-lover-free, because he loves the invites he gets to these sorts of society fetes, as he is a dapper dresser himself – truly a bit of a peacock in the clothes department.
Well. When April showers come your way…

…they bring the flowers that bloom in May.
Or the spores.
Ah, this must have been what a party at Versailles was like before the Revolution.
Thank goodness we’re still the civilized ones, no?
I wouldn’t want my pretty, weird dress anywhere near their lovely friends in the street after the ball.
