Met Gala Proves Celebrities Are Becoming Pointless And Stupid … Except For Jack Harlow

The Met Gala 2023 took place Monday, which is the weirdest day of the week to throw a party, according to everyone but Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

The theme for this year’s show was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty,” and while there were some pretty weird moments, it seemed like one of the most boring years in the show’s history. One would hope that — in having a controversial figure as the theme — things would get interesting, but it was actually just a perfect representation of how quickly a celebrity’s light fades.

Doja Cat: A Line Of WTF

Apparently this outfit is some reference to Lagerfeld’s cat. My only question is: who told her this is a good idea, and when is this person going to be fired? The whole purpose of the Met Gala is to get people to look at you, and this outfit does the opposite. It’s so creepy, and did not pass the assignment.

Jared Leto: A Line Of Genius …?

In harsh juxtaposition to Doja Cat’s horror, Leto showed up in full cat costume, also inspired by Lagerfeld’s beloved pet. Considering how weird and creepy Leto is in real life, this costume is actually really endearing and fun. It also flies in the face of what the Met Gala is meant to be, and I just love that.

Bad Bunny: A Line Of Yawn

I’m going to give Bad Bunny as much attention as he gave his outfit this year. None. Boring.

Lil Nas X: A Line Of Disgusting


Lil Nas X, who seems to only exist to give everyone the ick, showed up on Monday wearing silver body paint, a silver thong, and what appears to be Claire’s Accessories stick-on diamonds. I apologize for having to embed this picture, but if I have to see it, so do you.

Jack Harlow: A Line Of (Alleged) BRILLIANCE!

Harlow avoiding the press by claiming to be on shrooms is possibly the most millennial thing I have ever heard in my entire life! This rumor is according to NME, but I am praying that it is true. As a fellow millennial, I completely get why you’d want to do hallucinogens to go to something like the Met Gala.

And it reminds me of that time the guys from South Park went to the Oscars on LSD, which was also amazing. (RELATED: Nothing Says End Stage Dystopian Nightmare Like The Masked Servant Class Stooping Over To Adjust Hillary Clinton’s Gown On The Red Carpet)

I also don’t know how anyone can stomach such a disgusting display of obnoxious nouveau riche while sober, especially those of us who know what real America is like. It’s pretty hard to give a crap about celebrity clothes when a packet of chips is $6 right now.

My hope is that the more the mainstream corporate media reveals itself to be a puppet for intellectual, economic, and governmental oligarchs, the less people will care about anything they say. If this year’s show is anything to go by, it certainly feels like we’re finally seeing the light … and not from any of those Hollywood stars.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
