The Met Gala theme was both boring and out of touch

Anna Wintour took one look at Marie Antoinette and said, “Hold my cake.”

At a moment of widespread protests against the government and trendy calls to “eat the rich,” the Queen of Condé Nast decided the theme of her annual Met Gala should be a short story about wealthy people staving off mobs of plebians.

The lavish Upper East Side bash was practically “The Hunger Games,” but with Kim Kardashian.

On Monday night, the usual parade of celebrities, billionaires, semi-recognizable faces and trashy social media randos ascended the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and tried not to trip on their outfits.

Mentally, however, everybody stumbled when it came to this year’s dress code: “The Garden of Time” by J.G. Ballard.

The majority of attendees took the extremely boring vines-and-buds route and affixed “florals for spring” frills to their couture frocks and suits, looking like motel shower curtains.
