Oh, did she?
And then Madonna needed like six sort of handmaids to carry her dress around.
I love that for her.
And then representing Ireland, Sinead Burke was there.
Yeah.
Sinead Burke is the CEO and founder of strategic accessibility consultancy firm Tilting the Lens.
She's a little person and she has had a big role in the Met Gala this year.
She's been advising the Met's Costume Institute.
She wore this beautiful black dress by Christian Siriano.
It was gorgeous.
And she was part of the host committee for the Met Gala, asked by Anna Wintour, who is a friend of hers.
And she was able to sort of increase disabled representation on the red carpet, both in terms of the guests and also inviting disabled press and journalists, which was good.
And I think she was involved in creating a whole new way for those with mobility issues to enter, because usually there's just the steps.
So there's a whole other nice way, a kind of equally fantastic place where you could go if you were in a wheelchair or if you needed disabled.
Maybe a bad bunny with his cane went that way.
And there was also inside in the exhibition nine new mannequins, many of which were based on real life disabled bodies, including two mannequins based on Sinead Burke's body.
Incredible, yes.
And she was there on the red carpet and talking to people about that.
So that was excellent.
Anyone else that you noticed?
