I'm like dancing inside.

Right in front of me at the moment is Madonna, who is wearing a hat of a ship, carrying a horn in her hand with a black gown and a long gray veil that is being carried by no less than seven girls wearing nightgowns.

So music is playing, so Madonna arriving in one of the more dramatic entrances onto the

the Met Gala steps with this kind of performance art because the theme is fashion as art that was the dress code and so we've seen everything from you know Heidi Klum turning up as quite literally a statue and those kind of sculpted looks even people wearing mannequins on them to more understated dresses that either reflect inspiration from paintings and other art

or just somebody's kind of personal feelings.

For example, Venus Williams, the tennis star, who's actually a co-chair of this event, I asked her about the Swarovski necklace she was wearing with her gown, and she said it combined, you know, a bit of her kind of tennis victories along with paying homage to her mother and father.

So, so far, this Met Gala, this theme has been very widely interpreted.

Yes, and I actually asked her, we kind of shouted here from behind the hedges, what the film was, and she simply just shouted back, Sabrina.

So she's clearly put a lot of thought into her gown.

And some of my other favorites were Janelle Monae.

She was wearing cables and circuit boards and pieces of computer woven into a gown with some moss on it.

So I think clearly trying to make a statement about nature and technology, perhaps.

Yeah.

And then there were two people that came that I honestly didn't know who they were at first.

Katy Perry had a space-like silver mask until she removed it.

We didn't know it was her.

And Bad Bunny came dressed like an older man.

So we almost missed that it was Bad Bunny after all.

Yeah, that's absolutely right.

Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, are basically bankrolling this whole event, and they've been named honorary co-chairs.
