(8,670 posts)I doubt if Trump even knew the theme of this year's Gala, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style".
This is a man with no style. He wears frumpy blue suits, with ridiculously long red ties.
And his words are worse than his looks.
His presence would cheapen the Met Gala.
Truly a vulgar man.

(1,088 posts)The no pants year. Im an old jeans and t shirt woman myself. This year it looked like half the younger women werent wearing anything below the waist. Whats up with that anyway? Even when I had it to show, I didnt. Now Im just relieved I dont have to bother!
it sounds to me like a "gag me with a backhoe" kind of fling.............It sounds kinda like watching the Kentucky Derby crowd, with all the UBER rich, entitled trophy wives strutting around in their ugly as all hell bonnets and dresses,, sipping on those mint drinks, and holding the glass with their pinkie extended...

It raises funds for the MMA Costume Institute-

(7,396 posts)they all look so tight in the face, it's like their cheeks are stapled to their ears! I always thought the point to plastic surgery or any kind of "young it up" thing was to make it look natural... at least two of these women look anything but "natural." I may not be much to look at any longer, with wrinkles, saggy skin, and silver hair... but at least it's "natural" (LOL)

(37,476 posts)An African American focused 'theme'. And that theme raised $31M at a time when an autocratic government is stealing from the arts.
I'd say folks can set aside derision for this at a time when Black Americans - myself included - are feeling EXTREMELY hostile to this racist shit hole country without considering whether or not that sick evil old fuck and his prostitution whore wife were invited.

(16,967 posts)They even reference the same TikTok watermark as seen in the OP video, @kiu1384934c
They do say that the new, fake video was made from an older, real video from Voque.
The other references , to the 2017 Corden interview, are accurate.

(11,371 posts)I couldn't find a way to gift the article, but some relevant info from it:
"Can you get a ticket?
Unless youre a celebrity no. Its an invite-only thing. Fashion brands and wealthy people buy all the tables and tickets and then shell out invites to celebrities of their choosing. Wintour will also match celebrities to brands."
In her book "Melania and Me" Stephanie Winston Wolkoff implies that Melania Trump started getting friendly with her when she found out the Wolkoff - who worked for Anna Wintour - was largely in charge of the Met Gala and thus could advance Ms Trump's status in New York society. The Trumps, though, were seen as cheapskates who wouldn't contribute more than the minimum amount, and didn't bring much in the way of celebrity, flair, or glamor to the event.

Then I realized he has always wanted to be loved by the elite that despised him. Either that or he wanted to go and look like the victim.

(4,529 posts)I'm usually pretty good at identifying AI images, not so much with videos. It was well done, and very believable. But after looking at the video in this Vogue article from a few years ago, I see that I was wrong. (I had sent it to a few people) Color me Embarrassed for being fooled! Now I am seeing that it is being identified on X as AI altered (I didn't see that before, so must have been added after I re-posted) It is even on the original OP link now.
