Who are Kim and Grandma Gail?
Okay, we are live. Hey, everyone. Hi, everyone. It's Kim. And it's Grandma Gail. We're going to do some live commentary watching the Met Gala red carpet tonight in real time and sharing all of our thoughts because we know we have a lot.
We have a lot of thoughts and we want your thoughts. So you'll have to feed it back into our, with us too and say whatever comments you want.
Yeah, think about Fashion Police with Joan Rivers back in the day, except we'll be a little bit nicer. Maybe. Maybe. And also a mix of that and just like sitting on your couch with your own family and watching and all the unfiltered commentary. That's what we're doing. So welcome to our family. We're watching from the Upper East Side. The Met is a block away.
Well, it blocked away in the rain. It's been a mess over on Fifth Avenue. You know, they blocked off Fifth Avenue for the last two days. It's been with all the trucks and the equipment and all the tents. So it's a happening here in the city. It's something unlike any other ball that we have because it's outdoors and they, you know, people have to walk through this glorious tent up the steps of the map.
which you're seeing now. By the way, we're watching a live stream that's on Vogue.com. If you want it on your own screen, that's where to go on YouTube, on YouTube of Vogue's page as well. And we are watching it live with you. So we're seeing it all for the first time.
All right, Kim, give everybody the theme tonight because I can see it starting already.
Yes, it's super fine tailoring black style so there's a lot that goes into this theme um but first by the way oh there's that there's an coleman domingo and anna winter so we'll get into if you guys aren't already familiar who the hosts are this year um everyone write in by the way where they're watching from we'd love to know where you are in the world And of course, as we start to see some of the outfits, say your favorites, who you're excited to see tonight, and we'll stay with you through the red carpet. So by the way, if you don't know, the Met Gala is a fundraising event for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We love going there.
Yeah, it's relatively a new thing, a new addition to the museum the last maybe 10 years. And it was her brainchild. Do you remember the first one? Like, were you watching or? No, I think I just went over and looked at it at the museum itself.
It was easier then, probably.
Yeah, I don't think I ever watched it on TV.
They block off the streets now. But you can also stand in front of the Mark Hotel where a lot of the celebrities stay.
And the Carlisle and that whole 78th Street. It's a mess in the city right now. Between the rain and the crowds coming here, they've been coming in the last couple of days. And, you know, they really, the paparazzi are out there. I don't even know who half the people are, but they're certainly taking a lot of pictures.
Yeah, so anyway, it's all for the fashion exhibit that's opening at the Met, and the Met Gala is always the first Monday of May. So if you ever heard that saying, that's when the Met Gala is. So getting into the theme of this year's exhibition, which by the way, we tried to be a little bit on theme. We're not so much on theme. We're wearing black tailored suits. Well, you know, it's not. Oh, here's the dog. She's joining us. She's coming to the gala. So for those... Okay, let's let her calm down for a second while everyone watches. Okay, she had a fun time out there. Did you see any celebrities in front of the Met?
No, but she got wet. She was wearing her raincoat. Oh, look at his. Oh, look at the bib.
Yeah, he looks insane.
That's cool.
Yeah. Okay, so the theme this year, super fine, tailoring black style. It's all about the style of the modern black dandy. So it's inspired by Monica L. Miller's book, which was called Slaves to Fashion, Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. So it's all about the importance of style and suiting and all the formation of black identities from the Harlem Renaissance to the global impact of black designers today. So... Dandyism, I did some research, by the way. So I'm not going in totally blind. I want to help you guys a little bit out here.
