First of all, allow me to state the obvious:

[![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/168193103.xml ""PUNK: Chaos To Couture" Costume Institute Gala")](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/05/168193103.jpg?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Namely, that THIS IS INSANE. If she popped up wearing this at, say, her daughter's high school graduation or the premiere of *The Great Gatsby*, I have no doubt that my face would probably explode. Right off my head, it would explode. But the theme of the Met Gala this year was "PUNK: From Chaos to Couture." And -- as you will see today -- a LOT of people sort of weaseled out of actually wearing anything punk-esque. So it was totally awesome to see Madonna pop up OWNING IT. Like, *please.* She, of all people, is not scared of looking a little (a lot) punk. Honestly, this is kind of how I like to imagine Madonna all the time. I like to think that this is what Madonna wears when she's making pancakes or vacuuming \[*edited to add*: [AND SO IT IS](https://instagram.com/p/Y%5FV%5FlgmESa/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)\] or rummaging around in her compost heap or yelling at Guy Richie on the phone about something or secretly following Sean Penn around Haiti. This is exactly what I want from Madonna, and for once, it's ALSO totally thematically appropriate. Everybody wins!
