Welcome to this week’s dispatch from the lesbian internet, a mid-week news roundup from Paging Dr. Lesbian, exclusively for paid subscribers.

When two exes both show up at the same party. (Janelle Monáe and Tessa Thompson.)

The Met Gala constituted the big pop culture news this week, so this post will be image-heavy. This year’s theme was “Tailored For You,” inspired by the current exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which explores the history of black dandyism. Many huge celebs were in attendance; Rihanna revealed she’s pregnant again. There were some great looks and some great flops (what was Maya Hawke thinking???) But how did the queers do? Great, for the most part. I like the majority of the looks I’ve collected below, with one exception. I’ll let you guess which one.
