To critique the Met Gala is not to reject art or creativity, It’s to ask: at what cost, and for whom? Whose bodies are being adored, and whose are being ignored? Whose lives are affirmed, and whose are deemed expendable? The Gala invites us to look, to desire, to envy. But the ethical question is not how beautiful the spectacle is, it’s how violently the world must be arranged for such beauty to exist unchallenged.
