And the 2016 Met Gala’s Best Dressed goes to…

Joan Smalls.

I know, you’re saying who is that? And you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Just kidding.

I did a profile on her a few years ago here.

I was so happy to come out of hibernation to put together my best dressed from last night’s Met Gala aka Met Ball.

This event attracts everyone from Queen Rania of Jordan to Future (I don’t know who invited him but I guess they’ll let anyone in these days).

The theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology and some people attempted the theme while others were like listen, I’m gonna do me, forget the theme. I ain’t mad at ’em.

Before I show you my favourite looks I just want to give an honourable mention to … grab your blood pressure pills, inhalers, epilepsy meds and oxygen tanks …his royal fineness who was also the host:

Idris Elba *gasping for air*

You’re welcome 🙂
