Met Gala Prep

May 3, 2022 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] The Met Gala boasted the usual plethora of singers, actors, reality stars, politicians and other famous folks.

The event was hosted by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds among others.

Of course, everyone tried to outdo each other with their outfits!

Kim Kardashian showed up in Marilyn Monroe’s famous dress.

Despite some drastic last-minute dieting, Kardashian was too big for the dress. Since she could not get it zipped up completely, she was forced to use the fur to cover up the open back.

Kim’s Kardashian and Jenner siblings presented an awkward collection of David’s Bridal, plastic surgery and nipples.

Naomi Campbell put her Bedazzler kit to good use.

Vanessa Hudgens made a dramatic entrance in a black dress by Moschino.

Finally, Oscar winner Ariana DeBose looked ready to hit the main stage at The Tropicana in Las Vegas.

While most of the guests spent the hours before the affair prepping with facials, manicures and fittings, one guest prepared for the event in a rather unusual way.

He didn’t see it as a party. He saw it as a business meeting. He obtained a list of guests beforehand and all their stats and used it to strategize who he needed to meet.

Was he trying to land a gig? Land a date?

No.

His goal was to personally connect with the attendees with the biggest social media followings.

Aha! That makes sense… even if it will come as a disappointment to the women who thought they might have a chance to date him!

From a second source:

I overheard him talking to [two famous guests].

They were congratulating him on his big business deal. He said “Thank you” and then asked them if he could count on them to be more active on [social media] in the future.

They were practically falling all over themselves saying, “Oh, yes! Absolutely!”

He said, “I’m going to hold you to that.”

We hear he extracted similar promises from over a dozen high-profile people!

Everyone else may have been there for the fashion and the publicity but Our Man was clearly there to make money.

Smart!

    Elon. Why do people gush over Monroe? She was a drunken, druggie, * who had an affair with a married man.

    • kathystr says

      May 5, 2022 at 7:45 pm

      Omg I agree with you. She was pretty and a little bit funny. That was it. I say this all the time. She is not someone to admire.

    • Parade says

      May 5, 2022 at 8:25 pm

      Don’t blame Monroe for the affair, she wasn’t married and why should/would she care about his marriage when he clearly didn’t care about it? Come on now.

    • squarepeggy says

      May 6, 2022 at 6:39 am

      She was a mentally ill, vulnerable woman who was used up by a powerful, cheating man.
      There, fixed it for you.

    Elon Musk, although he hardly needs to work at anything anymore, does he?

    I knew KK couldn’t get her surgically/chemically enhanced enormous butt into that dress no matter how much weight she lost. I noticed the fur was in every pic and thought, A ha, that’s how she’s doing it. What a bunch of tools these folks are.

    May 4, 2022 at 4:21 pm

    This event use to be neat. I think I heard that anybody can buy tickets -they are just extremely expensive. Well, now that Kardashians are going, the event seems to have lost much of its classiness.

    • CaintGetEnuff says

      May 6, 2022 at 6:57 pm

      I read in the Post that Anna Wintour makes the guest list, but invitees have to pay $35k in order to attend. It’s basically a fundraiser for the Met.

  5. T W Longtime Lurker says

    May 4, 2022 at 2:18 pm

    Elon Musk. He owns Twitter now.

    OPTIONAL —> Marilyn Monroe, as Bob Mackie custom designed it for her. He did not construct it. If I remember correctly he was an intern at a fashion house at the time.

  6. Gerseychick says

    May 4, 2022 at 10:49 am

    The Marilyn Monroe gown should have stayed in Ripleys…It’s too old and delicate to be worn…Kim looked ridiculous with the blonde hair…Years ago the Met Gala was everything for New York society…..Now with the Kardashians family & Cardi B attending it has jumped the shark…

    • T W Longtime Lurker says

      May 4, 2022 at 2:18 pm

      An article claims Kim wore it only in the red carpet. She wore a replica during the gala.

    • bec215d says

      May 4, 2022 at 4:05 pm

      It’s far more famous – but the point has always been to raise money for the Met. As much as I hate how tacky and uncouth many attendees are now, the only thing that really matters is whether their attendance brings an increase in revenue for the museum through the event. Guessing it does.

    • Gerseychick says

    Marilyn Monroe.
    Have to remember who made that dress famous to begin with and sloppy seconds doesn’t count.

    Marilyn Monroe, of course.

  10. GrannyGoose says

    May 4, 2022 at 7:51 am

    This has got to be Elon Musk. From a business standpoint, his actions were pretty normal. It gave him the opportunity to connect with a LOT of people who use the Twitter platform heavily That’s a lot easier than contacting each one individually to pump up their Twitter use.

  11. aaaStorm says

    May 4, 2022 at 7:39 am

    Clearly it is Elon Musk

    Marilyn Monroe wore the dress to perfection.

  12. Steffy44 says

    May 4, 2022 at 7:11 am

    Elon Musk

    MM wore it 100x better than KK. Her huge backside is a joke. They all look like they crawled out of a freak show.

    Man: Elon Musk
    Encouraging celebs to use twitter more since his purchase.

    Who wore the dress best? Marilyn of course Kim’s plastic * and and * meant she couldn’t even fit into it properly.

  15. Conchord says

    May 4, 2022 at 7:02 am

    This is clearly Elon Musk, looking for “influencers” for Twitter.

  17. lila8245 says

    Elon Musk.

    It just goes to show how differently things were sized back in the 1960s versus today. Marilyn Monroe was considered a “larger” woman by the standards of the time, though she clearly wasn’t. Kim Kardashian isn’t really a large woman by any means either, yet it still didn’t fit her well.

    • Avalokitesvara says

      May 4, 2022 at 8:56 am

      It also goes to show how women back then were able to wear clothes to perfection without plastic surgery.

  18. bondgirl says

    May 4, 2022 at 6:10 am

    New Twitter owner, Elon Musk.
    Optional: Not a Kim fan, but she looked good. (Didn’t know the dress didn’t fit her though.)

    Optional: love an iconic moment but no one could wear it better than Marilyn!

    May 4, 2022 at 4:53 am

    Man: Elon Musk

    Optional: Marilyn (btw – who thought it was a good idea to let her borrow the dress!!!)

    Not requested but Blake Lively NAILED the theme and looked amazing! Also, we should all have a partner that looks at us like Ryan Reynolds looks at her.

    • Avalokitesvara says

      May 4, 2022 at 8:55 am

      She knows the owner who bought the dress.

  22. aaajsuze says

    May 4, 2022 at 4:44 am

    Elon 🙄
    Marilyn wore it better since it was made for her but Kim got what she was looking for, which was everyone talking about her regardless of how it fit or how she looked

    Musk with the bad fillers.

    Optional: Marilyn of course. On Marilyn it accentuated everything in the right way, Kim ruined it with her hair and trying to copy Marilyns facial expressions and pose.

  29. Jodone says

    May 4, 2022 at 3:08 am

    the man is obviously Elon Musk, who was embarrassing using his mother as a prop, and who wore it better there is not even remotely a question Marilyn Monroe, on her the dress looked so sexy as if it would just slide off of her. On Kim K it looked like it was stretched and tight really sort of sad actually very sad. Why not have a copy of it made that would have fit her properly and besides her sister looked like she had a copy of it on too.

    • DreamyVelvet says

      May 4, 2022 at 7:49 pm

      A prop? His mother is a famous model who’s been in the business for 50 years.

    May 4, 2022 at 1:44 am

    Elon Musk, targeting those with the most followers as a subtle warning as he plans on trying to eradicate the bot accounts from Twitter?

    Well, seeing as Kim starved herself for a fortnight and still couldn’t squeeze her rump into the dress, gotta be Marilyn.

    In Kim’s defence, she looked far better than the rest of her siblings did.

  34. sade79 says

    May 4, 2022 at 1:28 am

    Elon Musk.

    Maybe he could hook up with Kim Kardashian…She needs a rich boyfriend who has loads of kids and marriages to match her life and he needs the Kardashian social media numbers. Could actually see that match working out well!

    Did these women think they looked beautiful? They looked like Mardi Gras parade participants. No idea who the man was.

  41. Suzy Kew says

    May 3, 2022 at 9:28 pm

    Man: Elon Musk
    Marilyn wore the dress better. It’s iconic because Marilyn was literally sewn into the dress which gave a perfect shimmery nude effect . I knew there was a fit issue when Kardashian tried to wear it and hid her butt during her photo op . She wouldn’t have hid an inch of that dress-had it zipped. Tacky publicity stunt . Reminds me of someone trying to fit into Cinderella’s glass slipper. Marilyn was iconic. We all know Marilyn Monroe , and you Kim, are no Marilyn Monroe.

    • princessavenger says

      May 4, 2022 at 11:39 am

      Although…by most accounts, Marilyn wasn’t truly happy. Neither is Kim. Both wore the dress to be talked about, in spite of the fact that a lot of it was negative talk. Marilyn had told people in charge of the event she’d be wearing a modest dress. She knew it’d cause an uproar and she’d catch flack. I wonder how much that trouble contributed to her state of mind leading to her death?
      It was a dress for the ages, though.

    Elon Musk! God, I love how all of the Wokies are bowing and scraping to billionaire Elon even though he’s despised by the MSM because he’s bringing back free speech on the Internet! I guess that money talks, no? 🤣

    Marilyn wore it better. She had the better figure, too. Kim looked very nice, though.

  45. nudibee says

    Marilyn. She wasn’t trying to be anyone else. She was her. She grew up without and what she created was an image – her image. Versus them. They are not original nor unique. They are tragic.

    May 3, 2022 at 5:27 pm

    Man: Elon Mask. Was probably talking about big Twitter accounts like Kim, Cardi, etc.
    Who wore the dress better? Of course, Marylin. There will only ever be one & only Marilyn.
    It puzzles me how back in her days, Marilyn was called “too curvy”, while she was quite petite. How did KK get her hands on this dress (provided it was a real one). I don’t like that KK wore Marilyn’s dress. They are not on the same level, regardless of KK’s money and fame. Marilyn is on a different level.

    Marilyn of course. History will always look back on MM fondly, with awe and sadness for her tragic early death. In the future, people will wonder with utter confusion what KK and the * ever did to deserve their extended time in the sun. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
