It ’s me , the composition ( and fun ) law .

Listen here, if I were invited to an event whereticketswere around $75,000, I might try to actually stick to the theme! But, as long as there is aMet Gala, there will be people who treatFashion’s Biggest NightasAh, Another Black Tuxedo Opportunity.

This year’s dress code is “The Garden of Time,” based upon the 2024 Costume Institute’s exhibit,Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. The underlying idea here is of “fleeting beauty,” and, given its broad scope, it would actually be pretty easy to argue that an outfit is on theme (like, wearing a cravat would be on theme).

So, here are the folks who presumably went, “Nah, I’m good” this year:

1.Chris Hemsworth

2.Matt Damon

3.Zoe Saldaña

4.Greta Gerwig

5.Seth Meyers

6.Jimmy Fallon

7.Nicholas Galitzine

8.Linda Evangelista

9.Cara Delevingne

10.Ed Sheeran

11.Stefon Diggs

12.Kaia Gerber

13.Naomi Campbell

14.Rachel Zegler

15.Taika Waititi

16.James Corden

Honorable Mention: Jennifer Lopez
