Dreaming of Superheroes: Met Ball Style
School is driving me insane. I’m almost done, I have one actual class left and then finals, but just having to sit through an entire class of teachers scrounging for things to do just makes me furious. Instead of notes, I find myself drawing sunglasses for the imaginary sun that’s beating on my face in the cell like classes, writing lyrics to the songs I wish I was listening to while driving in my nonexistent convertible, and imagining the fantasia of costumes I’m sure to see in the pictures from the Met Costume Ball.
Its tonight, and right about now everyone attending is scrambling to get ready , but all that’s going through my head is, “The Olsens in DVF. What?” Apparently though, E! has caught on to the gravity of the Costume Institutes’s Benefit Ball red carpet. Not only can Anna Wintour allegedly demand that Maggie Gyllenhaal is present, wearing Som, and strutting her stuff on Peter Som’s arm (according to Fashionista), but it is a night when designers have multiple high-status dates and everyone, or at least the fun ones will be dressed in a superhero fashion. This may excite me because I’m still coming down from my Iron Man high, but I’m stoked none the less.
E! is going to be front and center on the red carpet rubbing shoulders with celebs, models, designers, and Vogue staffers alike; they’re pretty much doing what most little Wintour loving girls dream to do, and on May 8th at 8PM they are going to do a Met Ball special that according to Fashion Week Daily is tentatively called “The E! Met Special.”
They’ll probably completely trash all the crazy get-ups I’m sure to love, but I think I’ll watch anyway. There’s always a funny joke or two strategically placed in each segment by the all-controlling Hollywood writers.
Trying to figure out who’s coming with who and wearing what? Here’s a little insight:

E!’s Fashion news always annoys me. Sure, they say funny stuff, but actual Fashion forward outfits they bash on.
Very true, but hopefully they’ll get Miss J to be on their panel a bit. He always makes me laugh hysterically
