It is a gala, which began to be organized in 1948 and has gained global and viral fame in the last decade or so. Guests are now invited to stick more or less to the theme and, above all, to the idea of ​​fashion for fashion’s sake, to let their imaginations run free and come in the most outrageous outfit. That’s how it happened this year.

However, the truth is that quite a few of the guests at the event, quite a few of them in fact, needed the help of several people just to walk up and down the stairs. More than half to be exact…

It’s impressive that Cardi B she needed eight assistants to walk in her voluminous dress Widowsen.

Nowadays, though, we’re so used to judging clothes that celebrity stylists have become the real stars, which wouldn’t be a bad thing, on the contrary, if it weren’t for the fact that in some cases the obsession with clothing reaches surreal limits: it is not only that the Zendaya he couldn’t sit or move in that Mugler armor at his premiere “Dune: Part Two” or that the Anya Taylor Joy she needed help interacting with that Rabanne dress full of arrows.
