Nine Years Ago, The Met Gala Theme Was "Punk," Which I'm Still Thinking About In 2022 Because Some Of These People Clearly Did Not Understand The Assignment

    As always, some people got it, some people didn't.

    One of my all-time favorite Met Gala themes was 2013's "Punk: Chaos to Couture."

    That theme was particularly memorable because it was funny to see how the rich + famous interpreted "punk."
