Before being spoonfed your opinion, what was the theme of that year's Met Gala?

On Monday, May 7th, the Costume Institute will sanctify its love of fashion as it presents “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” Designed to create a dialogue between fashion and the masterworks of religious art in the museum’s holdings, the show will be presented in a trinity of locations: the Anna Wintour Costume Center, the medieval galleries at the Met’s Fifth Avenue location, and further uptown at the Cloisters. Central to the conversation will be the papal garb on loan from the Sistine Chapel sacristy, many of which have never been seen outside the Vatican, even in the 1983 Met blockbuster, “The Vatican Collections: The Papacy and Art.”

The Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) in 1962 led to the "Novus Ordo Mass" adopted between 1962-1969 in the Catholic church?

The “Novus Ordo Mass” was actually not as new as was claimed. Indeed, considering prior Instructions, it synthesized and made official the changes that had already been taking place: a more communal penitential part of the Mass; more numerous and diverse Sunday readings spread out over a three-year cycle; a restored “universal prayer”; new Prefaces; a changed Offertory; three new Eucharistic Prayers added to the ancient Roman Canon to be used at the celebrant’s choice; modified words of consecration, identical in all four Eucharistic Prayers; the Pater noster said by the whole congregation, no longer by the priest alone; suppression of many genuflections, signs of the cross, and bows.

Now, what are the odds that Musk spent zero minutes planning on what he would wear and left it to his wife and the designers they hired, and the choice was made to combine the messages of the Seal shown on every dollar in circulation and a recent revolutionary changes in the Catholic Church to make a statement that fit a man who's brand was revolutionizing an industry and become wealthy doing so?

Further, his wife's dress and crown were completely black on black with white highlights, including a crown made from a sample of the then extremely rare and new vantablack that they melted down and molded to create. His was white on white with black highlights.

Sometimes design work is related to more than politics.
