Well, well, well. The first Monday in May is upon Well, well, well. The first Monday in May is upon us, and the Met steps are once again proving that nobody throws a fancy-dress party quite like Anna Wintour.

The brief is Costume Art, the dress code “Fashion Is Art,” and (bless them) the guest list is taking it personally. Co-chairs Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman set the tone, with Queen Bey making her grand return after a decade away. Rihanna swanned in last, as one does. Madonna arrived with a trumpet and a small entourage of the blindfolded. Heidi Klum committed to the bit so thoroughly she essentially became a Roman ruin. Katy Perry vanished behind a chrome mask. The Jenners did what the Jenners do. And Sabrina Carpenter turned up in a frock made of actual film strips, from Sabrina, naturally, which is the sort of cheeky on-the-nose moment we’re rather fond of.

The hardware and lighting throughout is by @powersurgenz: discreet, well-weighted, the kind of detail you register with your hand before your eye.

Limewashed walls, organic form, and a pool zone conceived entirely for slowing down. At its heart sits the iconic Togo by @lignerosetnz, its quilted, floor-hugging silhouette the perfect counterpoint to the architecture's clean lines.
