When  you write a column on social media, every week is a challenge — not to find things going viral, but to find things going viral that are actually worth it. Some weeks, it’s harder than the rest.

This week, social media was full of Met Gala this, and Met Gala that. The annual extravaganza’s theme for 2026 was Fashion is Art. And so the celebrities came out,  trying to outdo each other. What were the Kardashians wearing (why are they still even a thing)? They were so nipple forward, that I think they have a new bra brand launching? Why did Hyderabad model Bhavitha Mandava, who is now a Chanel ambassador, wear a jeans-and-top ensemble to the red carpet??? Well, duh! It was designed by Matthieu Blazy to mimic her 2025 Chanel debut look. But was the original art, or this supposed to be art? IMO, neither was. Oh and Blake Lively was there, just hours after settling her case with Justin Baldoni. They are calling her  archival Atelier Versace gown from spring 2006 her revenge look, because as she said, “Every year I am a different version of myself than the last, so to be able to stand in the version of myself that I am today—and all the experiences I’ve had—in strength and confidence is important to me”. Full power to her.
