Beautiful Clothes Hide Ugly Souls at the Met Gala – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator

How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?

An ugly soul oversaw the collection of pretty people last night at the Met Gala in Manhattan

Diana Ross wore a train larger than a train, Sabrina Carpenter attracted stares in a pantless brown bodysuit with tails, surprise guest Kamala Harris looked like a half-moon cookie in her black-and-white outfit, and Emma Chamberlain stunned in a pinstriped suit repurposed as a dress.

Though themed as “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the event lacked arguably the fashion industry’s most famous black model, Naomi Campbell. Whoopi Goldberg invited the president of the United States to “let him try to get rid of us” while speaking on the red carpet. Colin Kaepernick, who last played a down in the NFL more than eight years ago, was there. Campbell was not.

Some reports claimed that Anna Wintour issued a ban on Campbell after a tiff last year in which the former insulted the latter (and the latter responded in kind) despite presenting her for an honor. Campbell later clarified that she was invited but just could not make it. Hmmm.

Wintour, who put Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama on the cover of Vogue but blocked First Lady Melania Trump despite her appearance in the magazine as an actual model years earlier, holds grudges. Her portrayal as a small, petty woman in the roman à clef transformed into the movie The Devil Wears Prada reflects her nasty reputation.

Whether or not she rolled out the unwelcome mat for Campbell — at an event celebrating African-American fashion, no less — seems up for debate. Wintour openly boasted of a ban on Donald Trump, long ago a perennial attendee of the event, once he became president in 2017. Tim Gunn, a major figure in the world of fashion design, similarly became persona non grata. When asked about the most incredible sight he has seen in his years in fashion, Gunn answered, “watching Anna Wintour being carried down five flights of stairs by two bodyguards — two big hulking men — from a fashion show.” This removed him from the guest list.

They make her “naughty” list. Who made the “nice” list?

Jeffrey Epstein regularly attended. So did Harvey Weinstein. Sean “P. Diddy” Combs conspicuously went to the party just about every year for decades.

Why did Anna Wintour roll out the red carpet for them but hang a velvet rope for Donald Trump, Tim Gunn, Naomi Campbell, and others?

Because superficial people do not care how one treats other people. They care only about how one makes them feel. Shocker: a woman immersed in a field obsessed with looks exhibits profound superficiality.

If you can cough up the money — a table started at $350,000 and a single ticket went for $75,000 last night — look decent, and not annoy Anna Wintour, you can attend. The photographic evidence of #MeToo creeps attending in the past proves this. If, on the other hand, you vote the wrong way, or said something Anna Wintour dislikes, a ban awaits.

Last night, in a bit of karmic revenge, a stain appeared on Anna Wintour’s dress. The dress, like Dorian Gray’s portrait, surely said something about the soul underneath.

Tina Fey, who attended many years ago, summed up the event best by describing the Met Gala as a “jerk parade.” Anna Wintour is the grand marshal.
