Nina Dobrev in Gabriela Hearst
I am super curious whether Nina will be at the Gala itself, or if this is her going to the First Friday party in whatever she WOULD have worn if she were on the list. (She might be! All will be revealed, much like her torso.) Her boob coasters are so ridiculous that I burst out laughing. Thank you, Nina.
Sombr
I THINK he is the only other person in here we have from Friday's party, and I am pretty sure this is Valentino, because he's quite loyal to them. Honestly, it's good. I appreciate his love of sequins and sparkles.
Janelle Monae in Christian Siriano
I guess I can give the same note here -- will Janelle be there, or is this HER final interpretation of "Fashion as Art/fashion and the body? She looks cool, like her skirt is frozen is in the midst of a flamenco performance. (Vogue says she wore this to Teyana's party, FYI.)
Sarah Paulson
I chortled at the hat, but she TOO went to Teyana's, and if it was burlesque then this actually fits.
Naomi Watts
This also says she was going to Teyana's, and Sarah back there lends credence to this, but it's not what she wore inside. THAT is very flamboyant, as if she performed. I hope she did.
Irina Shayk
So this is designed to look like she tried to pull it off, and couldn't? Gotcha.
Zachary Quinto in Dior
His NBC show just got cancelled, so he clearly needs to blow off some steam. I don't mind the suit, but the DIOR square label is not my jam. It also looks like the label on a candle.
Nia Long
Cute and reasonable! Hw often do we say THAT on Met Gala weekend.
Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian
Serena is staring at Emma Thynn, a British socialite. So if you're wondering about the marabou, that's her. Serena's careful non-expression seems diplomatic. HER dress is nice and I applaud her wearing flats.
Natasha Lyonne
That jacket is gorgeous, and the rest of it is... on her body.
Lisa Rinna
She's gone full Exotic Bird.
Brooks Nader
Per Getty, she is at the Bezii Bash, which tracks because I find her profoundly annoying and don't understand why she and her sisters have a show. (Just being honest.) This outfit is tragique. It actually looks like something Lauren Sanchez would have worn before Anna basically told her she needed to get a stylist.
Ciara Miller
Ciara Summer House appears to have gone to Teyana's bash dressed as the movie Coyote Ugly. Which honestly works for that party.
Jeremy Pope
Maybe there was a Coyote Ugly mind meld, as that IS a movie that prominently used "Cowboy" by Kid Rock.
Romeo Beckham
This seems underbaked and underdressed.
Jennie Kim
I cannot imagine how annoying this was. Wrangling the fringe, the crotch, AND the boob slippage? Pass.
Gabrielle Union
She is also at the Teyana party. I would like this so much more without the navel window.
Hunter Schafer
This is very simple for her! I hope she's attending the gala in something dramatic. (This is for Teyana's party.)
Vittoria Cerretti
I always mix her up with Victoria Pedretti, who is an actress; Vittoria Cerretti is Leo's girlfriend, and accordingly she is attending the Bezii Bash looking totally absurd. Maybe the theme was "Try and Make Lauren Look Tasteful By Comparison."
Venus Williams and Andrea Pretti
Sadly, Venus is at the Bezos party also, but as one of the co-hosts maybe she had to be. This whole thing is a Bezii Bash, I suppose, since they're funding a lot of it. I'm glad rich people are funding the arts; I just think these particular rich people are disgusting ruinous hypocrites, which sucks. Venus looks fine, but also maybe tense.
Anna Wintour
I mean, we all know which party she's going to.
Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste
Bezos guests! They're also in Devil Wears Prada 2. I feel like we almost never see Jon in jeans. They are totally the wrong length. And is her outfit... waterproof?
Kendall Jenner (Bezos guest)
This is a very simple and chic outfit on an unexpected wearer.
Ashley Graham, Justin Ervin (Bezos guest)
It's giving bathing suit and sarong, but also, she looks fantastic in it.
Laura Harrier (Bezos guest)
"Listen, you're going to love the bodice. You're really gonna love it." "What about the skirt?" "Like I said, you're gonna LOVE the bodice."
