While the rest of Hollywood was climbing the Met steps in custom gowns and posing for cameras, Jenifer Lewis and Taraji P. Henson were calling out celebs in attendance at the annual affair.
The 2026 Met Gala may have delivered some of the most stunning looks of the year, but the conversation that happened off the carpet is the one that has people truly divided.
