It's Met Gala Monday, and celebrities have come from near and far to attend one of fashion's biggest nights. They'll be wearing their finest threads, often custom-tailored to their bodies by luxury designers — a true honor. But in years past, it's also been a bit of a health hazard.
For several years now, celebrities have taken their fans behind the scenes as they get ready for the Met Gala, and many of them have divulged the same concerning fact: that they will not be peeing during the event, typically due to outfit constraints. It was Kim Kardashian who revealed that she "won't be able to pee for about four hours" in her getting-ready video for the 2019 Met Gala, and in 2023, Ashley Graham joined in on the trend, admitting in a pre-Met Gala TikTok that everything but peeing would be going on in the notoriously shenanigan-prone Met bathroom.
In case you're wondering: no, holding your pee for long periods of time is not advisable, as it can increase your risk of a urinary tract infection. Doctors suggest you should be emptying your bladder every three to four hours.
But this year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," offers the promise of bladder relief. The theme is inspired by Monica L. Miller's book "Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity" and examines the role of Black identity and authority in fashion, particularly in menswear. In other words, we may see a plethora of two-pieced ensembles this evening — and it could be a big day for the Met Gala bathroom. Read on for more, and see below for PS's guide to tonight's Met Gala theme.
