To Miranda Priestly, the Met Gala has made a groundbreaking announcement. This year’s dress code theme is “A Garden in Time,†inspired by J.G. Ballard’s short story from 1962. As described by Vogue, the story has a garden with “crystalline flowers with translucent leaves, gleaming glass-like stems, and crystals at the heart of every bloom†that may inspire the guest’s outfit choices on May 6. As to who will be hosting this floral gala, there is a bunny hopping around the garden. A … Bad … Bunny … It was right there. He’s teaming up with Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya as the co-chairs, beginning with “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,†an exhibit featuring clothing too delicate to be worn again. Does it mean chevron print will gracefully make its way to a glass case to be preserved for future generations? We can only hope as it’s a part of herstory.
