BEST MET GALA Bling

Best Met Gala bling. Because bling fashion just does NOT get any weirder or more wonderful than this.

Quite a lot of peeps are perplexed by the Met Gala and the outlandish costumes.

And lordy knows Miss Cee sure can understand why.

For a start

It looks like a convention for every single one of Effie Trinket’s long-lost relatives.

And then there’s the unashamedly elitist atmosphere. It’s SWIMMING in celebrities and Noo Yawk bigwigs. Plus it’s considered THE social event of the year in New York City.

Unless you’re invited, tickets cost about $30000 EACH with about 600 being available.

Actually, tickets used to cost just $20000 each but the organizers decided to jack the price up 50% in order to make the event even MORE exclusive.

Reading between the lines that mean nouveau riche types who deplete the free bar by 6:15 p.m. are no longer welcome.

Yes, it’s a fundraiser.

But it’s not benefiting the underprivileged. Or the planet.

Or Miss Cee.

Instead, funds raised go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The selfsame institute of which Anna ‘Nuclear’ Wintour is the chairman.

Yes, she of The Devil Wears Prada fame and a woman so HANGRY-looking that chair legs quiver when she passes.

The theme of the ball changes each year. And by theme Miss Cee means some cryptic crossword style confusion.

They could make it simple and have a theme like ‘Girl Scouts’ or ‘Inebriation’. Maybe even something like ‘Black and White.

Oh, hang on. That’s already been done by Truman.

But no. Nothing so simple. Past Met Gala themes include ‘Manus x Machina’, ‘Art of the In-Between’ and ‘Impossible Conversations’.

Frankly, Yours Truly finds EVERY conversation impossible till she’s three drinks in. Can’t imagine having to bling up along those lines.

But to be fair the theme DOES relate to a fashion-related exhibition curated specifically by the Met for the night, and then open to the public for a limited time after.

But you may be just like us and not really care what the background of the Met Gala is. Instead preferring to just get lost in the sheer spectacle of it.

Here at the SequinQueen Sparkling Life Magazine we confess we LOVE looky-looing at all the incredibly inventive uses for bling.

That’s about as ‘insider’ as you’re going to get, chickadees. With a selfie and social media ban strictly enforced each year since 2015, what goes on during the night remains hidden from mere mortals like us.
