Yeah, that's really tacky. It looks like it came off of Wish.

People has a story up about how Lauren and Jeff will be "making their Met Gala debut" and that Anna Wintour herself is picking out what Lauren will wear. Guess she doesn't trust Lauren's taste, lol.

Doesn't Anna decide what everyone wears? She sets the theme, but I think everyone chooses their own outfits based on that theme.

Theme is Anna, but yes, the attendees are normally responsible for their own looks.

Anna picks the looks for all of the "big" stars. Amanda Brooks who used to be a Conde Nast person wrote a book and she talked about the Met - the invites and how people are dressed. Lower-tier people don't usually get outfits from Vogue but Anna and the team pick looks for the celebrities. I wouldn't call Lauren a celebrity but people would definitely be looking at her and she wouldn't want to be dressed in something someone else was wearing. I doubt her boobs would fit in sample sizes though.

CW: misogyny, sexual assault allegations I hope this isn't too obscure, but there's currently a rap beef that so far has included multiple diss tracks, many rappers (alive AND dead), an apology, a lawsuit over AI use, and more tea spilled than in all of China. Drake is the main target, and Kendrick Lamar dropped "Euphoria" early this morning. I've always hated Drake (fake gangsta posing, low effort musical output, constant misogyny, etc.) and remain baffled about his female fans. In the diss track, Kendrick mentions a sexual assault case that had a six-figure settlement. It's just frustrating how little recourse that sexual violence survivors when their perpetrators are famous. Seriously, I don't get Drake and I'm glad he's taking some criticism.

Way too many women buy into the bad boy with a heart of gold myth. I think that sums up Drake's popularity with a lot of women. And as we're seeing with Diddy, sometimes bad boys don't have a heart of gold. They're often just bad to the core.
Going back to the Met Gala, I love that hot mess. It's been a disaster for probably a decade now, and Anna doesn't care. She embraces the disaster I think. It's a fundraiser, celebrities in wacky outfits that may or may not be on theme (usually not these days) draw eyes, and eyes mean money. I'm lucky enough to live within Amtrak distance of New York and I've seen multiple Costume Institute exhibits in person, and they're always spectacular. So I say make the Met Gala as big and tacky and outrageous as possible if that's what it takes to keep that museum funded. If Lauren shows up in really expensive Shein-equivalent dresses, go for it. It's fun to snark on, and it will bring dollars. Win-win.

Do you have a favorite of the exhibits you've attended? The last one I saw was Heavenly Creatures in 2018(?)
