A Definitely Real, Exclusive Look Inside The Met Gala Gift Bags

We’re mere days from the Met Gala, the annual event in which celebrities parade around in the craziest shit they and their reputations can stand to wear, awaiting either praise or brutal memes from their harshest critics: all of us, in our beds, wearing day-four sweats and stuffing our faces with potato chips. There’s truly no better self-esteem booster than observing stars like Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid, Sarah Jessica Parker and more kissing Anna Wintour’s hand while wearing clothes that cost more than my entire college tuition.

This year’s theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” to honor Karl, the not-at-all problematic fashion designer, who died in February 2019 following a more than 30-year stint at the helm of Chanel.

But the only thing better than criticizing admiring celebrity fashion and blasting Karl’s boneheaded statements about the #MeToo movement and bigoted thoughts on marginalized people paying tribute to a legend is seeing what’s inside the highly coveted Met Gala gift bags. 

Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld

As is tradition, Anna, the self-proclaimed queen of the gala, has probably spared no expense to ensure that the celebrities in attendance get the most prestige, necessary gifts that money can buy. 

Below, find an exclusive, absolutely real and not at all fake look at the items Anna has (most likely, probably, possibly) hand-selected for her celebrity attendees this year.
