- The red carpet as of 1pm today
- Take a closer look: Those baggged remnants are obviously new. No recycling here.
- Soon they'll be covering these stairs. Evening dresses, heels and stairs—what could go wrong? This could be like watching Christian Siriano's last runway show—it's not who will trip, but how many?
- The stairs lead guests to The Met's Lobby, which earlier today still looked like this. (For some reason there was lots of smelly beige burlap everywhere.)
- This is obviously some type of stage. We suspect it will have people on it later.
