Megyn Kelly launched into a furious diatribe against the 2025 Met Gala, slamming the prominent fashion function as a “wannabe edition of its ancient soul” and accusing organisers of pandering to Black Americans with an “incomprehensible” design. Speaking on Tuesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the original Fox News anchor took purpose at the gala’s style” Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”, which celebrated Black prove and its influence on fashion. Kelly ridiculed the idea as arrogant and politically motivated, dismissing it as “leftist scientific, gobbledygook, absurd talk”. ” When the peak of high fashion tradition and A-list star, the dinner today looks more like a terrible bucket D-list past-its-prime wannabe edition of its ancient self”, she said. ” It’s closer to yesterday’s Nerd Prom White House Correspondents Dinner than the center of the celeb and charm world as it used to be”.Kelly openly mocked the theme’s academic basis, referencing Monica Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, which inspired the Met show. ” So far we have demonstrate, crossing and diasporic identity”, Kelly said. ” We’re batting a thousand on the size of leftist code speech that will make progressives good smarter and feeling superior”.
She went on to offer Miller’s description of Black dandyism, before blasting it as consciously obtuse:” The entire point is to drop you and sound smarter than you by saying words that are totally clear and meaningless”, she said. Kelly accused the event of virtue-signalling, saying the gala’s true intent was to “pander to Black people because we love Black people and that makes us good people”. She described the night as “basically Black Lives Matter at the Met”, calling it” a parade of Black Americans, leftists in their dandy style”. ” Near as I can figure”, she added, “it appears to mean over-the-top black and white with weird shapes and vaginas showing”.The annual Met Gala, co-chaired this year by stars like Colman Domingo, Pharrell Williams and Lewis Hamilton, was otherwise hailed by fashion critics for celebrating the elegance and defiance of Black style throughout history. But Kelly dismissed the celebration entirely, describing it as a self-congratulatory gathering of elites. “You’re not meant to understand this”, she concluded. ” You dumbasses. You have to go to Harvard to understand what these people are saying, how they speak and how they code talk”.The Met Gala reportedly raised$ 31 million this year.
