I understand people's hesitation about the Met Gala right now, while Rome is burning. But quite apart from enjoying the OTT spectacle of it all like the greedy little fashion blogger I am, I like to think of it as a) jobs *everywhere*, from the caterers and the PAs and the PR people, to the drivers, the tailors, the stylists, the florists, the waitstaff, even whoever vacuums the carpet; and b) a contribution to culture, because at its core the Gala is intended as a fundraiser for the museum, and we cannot afford to lose it.

This year's exhibit is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which *Vogue* describes as exploring "the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities, focusing on the emergence, significance, and proliferation of the Black dandy." [The Met has a deeper reading of it here](https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/superfine-tailoring-black-style?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Accordingly, the Gala theme itself became "Tailored To You," allowing for a broad interpretation that would hopefully -- and I believe *did* \-- curtail any appropriative instincts, however well-intentioned they may have been, on behalf of people attempting a more literal tribute to Black dandyism. The result was one of my favorite Met Galas in a while -- a diverse, joyous, and creative affair. Even Anna shook it up a little, eschewing her usual Chanel for a tribute to the late Virgil Abloh, a Black designer who was taken from the world just as he was truly arriving.

We begin the coverage today with the co-chairs, the advisory committee members, and our intrepid red-carpet cohosts, and we'll have something new for you every 45 minutes or so, because we've got a lot of ground to cover and a lot of hats, capes, pin stripes, canes, and other glories to celebrate.
