I watched the highlights on various platforms - and as always loved the different looks (fashions, costumes) - worn by celebrity guests not on a red carpet - but a cobblestone carpet. Some celebrities looked more like they were dressed up for Halloween - while others brought the glamour.

The event delivered drama, spectacle, confusion, and a few unforgettable moments. There were protests outside but luckily no major incidents.

Returning after ten years was my personal favorite no matter what she wears ... Beyonce who was widely considered one of the night's standouts in a custom Olivier Rousteing skeletal-inspired bustier gown that blended couture with performance art. Her daughter, Blue Ivy, also walked the runway with her father JZ - looking as gorgeous as her mother.

If you like a night of glitz, glamour, and seeing some of your favorite celebrities, this was the show to watch. We all need a little humor, fantasy, and positive energy in today's chaotic world - and for one evening the Met Gala delivered an escape into creativity, style, and imagination. Whether the fashions were breathtaking, bizarre, or somewhere in between, the event reminded viewers that art and self-expression still have the power to entertain, inspire conversation, and bring a little sparkle to an otherwise stressful news cycle.

For aspiring young designers coming to New York City - or graduating from one of the city's fashion institutes - the Met Gala also represents something more - possibility. It is a reminder that fashion can be transformed into art, storytelling, and cultural influence on one of the world's biggest stages. Behind every famous designer once stood a student sketching ideas, sewing fabrics, and hoping for a breakthrough moment. Events like the Met Gala keep that dream alive for the next generation of creative talent.
