The Best Celebrity #MetGala Instagrams

ICYMI: All The Gowns From The 2016 Met Gala

We missed Reese Witherspoon at this year’s Met Gala. Her Instagram game is a force to be reckoned with and her absence?was felt. Thankfully, we had Madonna on hand to remind us why she is Madonna and why she doesn’t need the approval of us mere mortals. You gotta love her.

Lol…………..Met Ball

We’re going to pretend this was all a subliminal messaging slash PR stunt to promote Beyonc?’s #LEMONADE.

That was fun! Now I’m in a bomb ass sweatsuit. I know I drove you crazy @shionat with all of my fifty eleven screenshots. You are seriously amazing, even when you hate my shoe choices. Thank you @nikkinelms for giving me that shareefa bang that one time so I could know how much of an artist you are. Thank you @mmiiggss for bringing Christmas Tree Tinsel and trusting my face lol And thank you @pipbuzzz for giving me the goods. #Prom2016
