Fox News host Megyn Kelly made her first trip to the Met Gala where she told IE about her recent private meeting with Donald Trump. Inspired by the relationship between fashion and technology over the course of fashion history, the show did not have as much of as a cohesive identity as last year’s somewhat-controversial Chinese-themed gala for “China: Through The Looking Glass”.
Lorde posted a pic of her plaster on Instagram with the caption “if u ever wanna know who was at the 2016 met gala they’re all on my arm”.
Continuing the snack theme of the night, Taylor Swift’s metallic Louis Vuitton dress was compared to a Hershey’s Kiss. “It was interesting because her dress was made of organza and fiber optics”, Ostroff said.
“So we’ll see, it’s out November but I loved it. I got a wand which is something I got to tick off the bucket list – it was a blast”, he added.
