Wow!
During the livestream, Dunham said she intended her outfit to be reminiscent of “blood splatter” and, well, she ain’t wrong! It’s her first time at the Met Gala since 2019, and clearly she decided to go big or go home, because subtlety is nowhere in sight — just sequins, feathers, and confidence.
Love it or hate it, you cannot ignore it. And honestly, isn’t that the point of the Met Gala?!
