2. Met Gala After Hours

Folks are still simmering from the amazing fashion debuted at the Met Gala on Monday. Much attention was given to the detailed looks hitting the campy red carpet. However, some of the night’s most…ahem…intimate moments happened behind the scenes.

First, images started circulating around the Internet of Janelle Monáe and Lupita Nyong’o having a GOOD time at a Met afterparty. There’s even footage of the two taking up substantial personal space in a face-to-face dance.

Ok then!

Next, this happened between Frank Ocean and Lizzo. 

Yes. Definitely. GOTCHA.

Finally, Solange left her interpretive dance moves at home and let the yams fly at her D’USSE sponsored Met Gala afterparty.

The whole shindig went down at the Indian restaurant Panna in New York and the special guests were none other than Diamond and Princess from Crime Mob.

Everyone from singer Kelela to media royalty Lena Waithe showed up to the function.

*Sigh*

We need that Solange invite pleeeease!

Losers

Lindsay Lohan

Unfortunately, the Met Gala wasn’t all positivity and those who weren’t invited had to take a double shot of hateration towards other stars.

Former child star Lindsay Lohan had some choice words for rising actress and fashionista Zendaya when she took over the Met red carpet in a Cinderella-inspired dress. When a Disney associated Instagram account posted the look, Lindsay had the nerve to bring up Claire Danes who wore a similar dress at the Met Gala 2016:

“@clairedanes did that with Zac Posen already (laughing emoji),” Lindsay commented.

She added:

“@clairedanesyou wore this dress so beautifully, I don’t know why someone thinks that they can be more chic. Ever.”

Like whaaaaa???

The Internet expeditiously came for Lindsay’s entire life.

One @jester1436 wrote, “That raggedy a$$hole Lindsay Lohan really tried to come for Zendaya because her Cinderella look from last night is supposedly a rip off of Claire Danes’ Met look in 2016. Bit**, where?”

Show host Ira Madison III tweeted, “Does Claire Danes even know Lindsay Lohan.”

The fact that Zendaya’s dress actually moved at the shoulders and the waste also distinguishes her dress from Claire Danes’ even though both of them light up.

Lindsay…you should have just sat there and ate your food.

You can take that L for the week.
