To me this says, "I AM SO MAD I MISSED COACHELLA." Yes, it is a thong.

I have just an unending series of questions. One of them is why I'm MOST offended by the body hose/open-toed shoes combo.
Ariana Grande

Just a tiny pop inside the event where Ariana changed into this to perform...
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo

And she and Cynthia Erivo ended up wearing these.
Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Zendaya and Chris Hemsworth

This is Zendaya's third look of the night. It's nice. But also, like PICK ONE! I mostly say this because....
Zendaya

...she then changed for the parties. There is truly no need to change four times. I could argue for three -- red carpet, something easier to wrangle inside the Met, and then something really kicky and short for the afterparties. But we're gonna start hitting the point of diminishing returns just because ALL these looks dilute the power of any one of them.
Coco Rocha

This is cool -- if very on brand for her -- and she of course looks great, but this seems like a LOT for an afterparty. I guess YOLO.
Doja Cat

This was before the Met Gala and I hadn't seen it. I just think it's funny.
FKA Twigs

PARTY PHOTO TIMES. It's for the best that she changed out of the macrame coat that everyone kept getting caught on.
Camila Cabello and Lil Nas X

LEATHER TWINS.
Storm Reid

THIS is a very relatable choice of look to change into.

Also relatable for a party. Short, kicky, cool.
Olivier Rousteing

But does it come in an apron format?

Honestly, this headscarf looks ANNOYING at a big wild bash.
Bad Bunny

Something about this looks like....business pajamas.
Charli XCX

This is VERY very cute.
Odell Beckham Jr i

This also seems pajamas-related.
Tyla

Rousteing actually just sawed off the bottom half of her dress once they got inside the museum. It may have been actually disintegrating? (It IS sand.)
Kendall Jenner

She looks beautiful and a lot of Big Budget Brides just pinned this to their Pinterest Boards for Reception Dresses/Blowout Bachelorette Parties.

This is cool! Kendall kinda nailed it yesterday.
Teyana Taylor

This is very reasonable for a party. Festive, but also you can really move around in this.
Doja Cat and Janelle Monáe

Folks had fun at this party.
Serena Williams, Lena Waithe and Cynthia Erivo

I kinda love that it looks like Serena tossed on her nicest swimsuit coverup.
Penelope Cruz

This is VERY pretty and I suspect she's going to a different, formal late dinner or something. (This whole evening seems so long! I am too lazy to go to the Met Gala.)
Elle Fanning

I suspect she's going wherever Penelope Cruz is. This is just another gown! (Although she looks nice.)
Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini

It says something about how much I disliked Kelsea's Gala look that I FAR prefer this. Like FAR.
Anok Yai

She is a babe and I hope this is secretly like a bikini bottom because it is SHOOORT.
SZA and Lizzo

I also wish Lizzo had worn THIS to the Gala.
