When you get invited to a party with a theme like “Manus x Machina,” you have two options. One, dress up like an actual robot. Two, let your accessories do the talking.

Consider your next Halloween — er, Met Gala — look covered.

Is it bad that I'm hoping she has to slap someone at the gala just so I can see the imprints of her nails on someone's face? Also, is it bad I hope that someone is Anna Wintour?

Taylor's heels are what nightmares are made of.

Her dress might look like a bad prom getup from 2006, but those heels are both beautiful and terrifying.
