That's a wrap on 2024's Met Gala. What was the theme this year? Gardens of Time, in conjunction with the Costume Institute's exhibit "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."
My personal Met Gala Winners:
TIE: Designer Harris Reed of Nina Ricci and singer Tyla in Balmain.
Tyla has a leg up because her dress is made of sand molded to her figure coupled with an hourglass to represent the sands of time.
Runner-Up: Demi Moore in Nina Ricci x Harris Reed
As always Colman Domingo leads the fashion pack. He is wearing Willy Chavarria.
Second is Barry Keoghan in Burberry. He's wearing an espresso coloured jacket ::wink::. With girlfriend Sabrina Carpenter in Oscar de la Renta.
This year's chairs - Anna Wintour (as always), Chris Hemsworth (disappointing), Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and the never disappointing Zendaya Coleman who wore two looks: Dior and Givenchy (with a Philip Treacy headdress).
Everyone wants to shit on aquarius venus people and then turn around and listen to love songs written by them and cry over how much they want that kind of love

Repurposing the beginning of the following to prove Taylor wanting to uncancel “Sense8” is the most meta thing to ever happen in my life.
Me at 10 having begun to accept that I feel like I’m both female and male, attracted to both sexes, and scared shitless by it all, because ‘Is that even possible?,’ watching Bound (by the Wachowski sisters before they both came out as trans): Ugh, this is such a good lesbian film, but does it have to be by two straight men?
Me at 30 as a fully realized, out, and proud bi-queer eating “Sense8” (by the Wachowski sisters after they both came out as trans) up with a spoon, and begging for more on Dec. 25th, 2016: … Oohhh! …
Me today at 37 as a completely realized, out, and proud non-binary pansexual knowing all of this, that Taylor, the guy who brought the main character of my favourite book (written by a fellow NB) in to life in my favourite movie, was born on Dec. 24th, and that he loves the book more than any one and has been gunning for a sequel (and that @primevideo would be stupid not to make one as the original broke its records): … Oohhh! …
Never mind that I grew up in a DC suburb, my Henry is half British, and, out of all of the places in “Sense8,” the only one that I've been to is Taylor's hometown, and that most of my other favourite shows are set there. Time really does have a way of making every thing make sense. #ItReallyDoesGetBetter
