I’ll be honest: at first, I absolutely hated it. Not as much as I hated Lady Gaga’s sad visage, or Taylor Swift’s mis-step in Vuitton, but for Madonna – my queen – I hated it. But as with most things that have to do with Madonna, I soon saw the error of my ways, and realized the genius of this ensemble in the ‘Manus x Machina’ theme that this year’s Met Gala celebrated.
Everyone else is scoffing at the audacity of this fifty-something woman to put her body so flagrantly on display, but for this year’s theme, Madonna melds humanity and technology in striking fashion, embodying the human form in bionic bands and peek-a-boo lace. Haters are most definitely going to hate on this one, and that only makes me love it – and Madonna – more.
