Independent of our Met Gala coverage, we also proudly present: frazzled celebrities trying to have it all in the waning hours before the Met Gala! No one looks like they are having a great time getting ready for the Met Gala, fashion’s biggest celebrity pageant, but nevertheless, they persist, because the tickets are very expensive and a successful ensemble will earn you fashion clout for days, if not months. At the same time, designers are still rolling out their resort lines, and the Cannes Film Festival started yesterday. It’s going to be quite a week for bag-spotting.

Rihanna
Rihanna has given us a lot to unpack here, what with this outfit she wore to her dentist’s office (???) in NYC. Blue lipstick, pink feathers, a top that is also pants…please don’t test the limits of our love, Rihanna. You may notice she’s also carrying a white Fendi Peekaboo.
