It Is That Met Gala Time of Year and Elon Musk Came With His Mother

The Met Gala is an event where celebs compete with each other to see who can be more avant-garde and outré. Each year has a different theme, but what remains constant is that the attendees try to scale new heights of outrageousness.  These days, with Elon Musk being the flavour of the season, people were paying attention to him as well as all the other outfits at Met Gala 2022. Here are some of the highlights of the Met Gala this year:

This year's theme was Gilded Glamour

Some followed the theme, some didn’t; most just judged.

Because why not

So what if one is living literally in a garbage tip? Everyone is entitled to their opinions it would seem

Have Twitter, will tweet

The tweeple believe it is their prerogative to judge those who put huge amounts of time, effort and thought into their outfits.

She got the memo

People approved of the outfit of teen singing sensation and multiple Grammy winner Billie Eilish.

Gigi Hadid

However, when she took off that poufy coat/cape/tent thingie, tweeple didn’t approve of her plain-looking red bustier and pants

Cardi B

Gilded? Hell yeah!

Alicia Keys

The event is in New York so that skyline on the singer’s dress is appropriate

Meanwhile men

A lot of black ties around.

Not all men

This was Jared Leto. Known for this extremely outré outfits each year (including when he came dressed in red along with a decapitated head that looked very much like him) this year he came as… a twin?

This interpretation

I don’t know about the glamour or the gilding in this outfit, all I could think of was, hope he doesn’t poke his eye out.

Some very dapper looking men

This was their interpretation of the gilded glamour theme.

More drama

Blake Lively had this red carpet unveiling (bronze to aqua to reflect the Statue of Liberty) and apparently husband Ryan Reynolds was very surprised. 

She wore Sabyasachi

Indian businesswoman Natasha Poonawala was seen flaunting this interpretation of the saree on the red carpet.

Notable exceptions

Conspicuous by their absence were Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Zendaya, Doja Cat, Lady Gaga, Beyonce… some were heartbroken.

This reporter caught the eye

And this guy

Why was Elon Musk there? His mom wanted to come so that was his reason. A lot of desi commentators thought it he was a very good boy for brining his mother to the Met Gala 2022.
