I disagree with practically EVERYONE on this list (Mark Zuckerberg? Bill DeBlasio??!), *EXCEPT* for the inclusion of Alan Cu***ng and Dame Maggie Smith.
& I know that Debbie Parker Cook will agree.

OK, some weren’t people, but they all made us talk: about what we wear, how we live and how we express ourselves.

Ms. Glam would like to know how many push-ups, sit-ups, leg lifts, & Pilates classes Bella Hadid had to live through to make this dress work for her. (AND what kind of adhesive tape she needed to place *in a very delicate area* to keep from avoiding a monumental costume mishap!). Brava!

And miraculously avoided any wardrobe malfunctions. Here's proof.

Ms. Glam has been silent for a bit, but will give a shout-out to Pierpaolo Piccioli and a "BRAVI!" to these beautiful (and average-sized) women for starting to change the "tyranny of the ultra-skinny" in haute couture! They look GORGEOUS!

Valentino looked dreamier than ever on more relatable bodies, which may prompt other designers to follow suit

Ms. Glam will go on record here -- with all the gushing of a true Girl Crush -- that I think Tracee Ellis Ross is ah-maaaazing! Woe betide those in Glam Land who would disagree!!

Tracee Ellis Ross seems to be at ease everywhere. Whether on our TVs, beauty shelves, or social-media feeds, she’s the best friend you always wanted and the rich auntie you aspire to be. Self-acceptance, however, was hard-won. Now, she’s basking in it.

Met Gala 9/13/21: the Don'ts. DON'T go to a world-renowned cultural center that is known for its embrace of the arts and beauty with your middle finger raised in the air. Just don't do that & show some class. If you have no class to show, stay home.

Members of the media and Ms. Glam's legion fans have been asking her to opine on the epic that was last night's Met gala: the good, the bad, the do's, the don't's, the awww, hell no!, and the OMG-that's amazing!

Spoiler alert: there were a lot of do's in this crowd of young'uns.
But first, some lovely close-ups of lovely people:

A couple of outfits Ms. Glam has decided NOT to wear to the Met Gala this coming Monday evening...

As fall approaches and the concept of dressing for "back to school" or "back to the office" becomes more of a reality, Ms. Glam thought everyone could use some inspiration for making a dramatic entrance on your next sally forward into the public eye. 😉

Ms. Glam may need to take a "business trip" soon to Paisley Park!!

The beautiful ones, they hurt you every time.
