CW: Abortion, reproductive health

This week the USA travelled back to the 1800s to seek inspiration for their Met Gala outfits and their abortion policy. We break down what 'Gilded Glamour' was actually supposed to mean, who nailed and failed the theme, and whether any of that actually matters in a world where Roe v. Wade is likely to be overturned. We also come to the earth-shattering discovery that Jason Derulo did not actually fall down the stairs at the 2015 Met Gala, and will be taking some personal time to process this.
