Coverage is soooo overrated. Not press coverage (that's always great in Celeb World), but body coverage. In fact, a lack of the latter greatly improves the chances of the former. Perhaps it was co-host Anna Wintour's reported banning of the use of social media that made some of the stars at Monday night's Met Gala, in New York, feel the need to bare all and turn up practically naked - a kind of panic-induced reaction to not being able to post 5000 selfies during the event and therefore having to pack an evening's worth of attention-grabbing snaps into the time it took to saunter up the red carpet.The R300 000-a-ticket event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute raises millions for the institute. This year's event was inspired by the exhibition "China: Through the Looking Glass".Trevor Noah, the new host of The Daily Show, was there, in a black-and-white Ralph Lauren suit.Beyoncé stole the show. The singer peacocked her way past the hordes of photographers in a Givenchy creation that barely qualified for the description "dress".But wherever Beyoncé triumphs, Kim Kardashian follows in her shadow. Apparently, designer Peter Dundas, for Roberto Cavalli, felt that the only bit of the reality star that actually required coverage was her shoulders, which were encased in pads; everything else was there for all to see. Not that we haven't seen it before.And wherever there's bottom-baring you know J Lo is never far away. The original booty queen wore sheer Versace embellished with a sequined dragon.So if we take one thing from this year's Met Gala let it be this: baring all, just like anything that is rehashed over and over again, just doesn't shock any more. Let's have a little more imagination and a lot more left to the imagination next time. Please.Oh, and Anna Wintour, maybe you could implement a "no bums" clause next year instead? additional reporting by Gabi Mbele..
