All you have to do is mention Sweet Chin Music, and WWE icon Shawn Michaels will be right around the corner. Kendrick Lamar mentioned the wrestling finishing move on “Not Like Us,” prompting Michaels to offer his services to the duo to settle the differences.
nnnn
“Put the wrong label on me, I’ma get ’em dropped/Sweet Chin Music and I won’t pass the aux,” Kendrick Lamar rapped.

“A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way,” Michaels wrote. “@kendricklamar, you and @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate.”
The Met Gala, often dubbed as the fashion world’s most illustrious night, unfolded its grandeur on May 6th at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dazzling spectators with a fusion of innovation, style, and creativity. This year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” delved into the realms of technological advancements to breathe new life into garments deemed too delicate or aged to be worn again. As celebrities graced the red carpet, they not only pushed the boundaries of fashion but also offered a riveting commentary on the theme, showcasing both hits and misses in the sartorial realm.

One of the standout looks of the evening was Zendaya’s ethereal ensemble, resonating with the theme effortlessly. Draped in an ocean-blue gown by Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, Zendaya evoked the serenity of the sea with cascading layers of tulle and fabric, complemented by a dramatic headpiece. Her interpretation of the theme was both captivating and refreshing, setting a high bar for the night.

Similarly, Alia Bhatt mesmerized onlookers in a mint green saree adorned with real gems, custom-designed by the renowned Sabyasachi. With a 23-foot-long train trailing behind her, Bhatt paid homage to the opulence and grandeur synonymous with the Met Gala, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the theme.

Nicki Minaj made a bold statement with an hourglass mini dress crafted from hand-painted golden silk duchess material, which was a masterpiece in itself. Adorned with 3-D metal flowers, each delicately hand-painted in bright hues. She completed her look with floral heels and jewels.

Natasha Poonawalla, known for her impeccable fashion choices, opted for a sculpted white bodycon dress with delicate black detailing, a custom ensemble from the Maison Margiela Artisanal Collection. Her look exuded elegance and sophistication, seamlessly aligning with the theme’s narrative.

However, amidst the sea of exemplary interpretations, there were a few misses. Doja Cat’s choice of a Vetements maxi-length wet T-shirt raised eyebrows, failing to resonate with the theme of reawakening fashion through technology. While undoubtedly bold, the ensemble seemed out of place amidst the gala’s futuristic ambiance.
nnnn

Similarly, Kim Kardashian’s outfit, consisting of a pale grey cardigan layered over a rewoven corset, lacked the innovative spark that defined many other attendees’ looks. Despite Maison Margiela’s reputable name, the ensemble failed to make a significant impact in the context of the theme.
nnnn

Nevertheless, amidst the hits and misses, one cannot overlook the breathtaking display of fashion prowess exhibited by the attendees. Cardi B’s spectacular black gown, designed by Chinese designer Windowsen, epitomized luxury and splendor, leaving a lasting impression on all who beheld it. Likewise, Jennifer Lopez’s sheer champagne gown, adorned with sculptured silver beading, epitomized glamor and sophistication, solidifying her status as a fashion icon.

In essence, the Met Gala 2024 was a celebration of fashion’s boundless creativity and ingenuity, where celebrities pushed the boundaries of style and offered a tantalizing glimpse into the future of fashion.
