Forget the roaring engines and tire smoke! The real action at the Miami Grand Prix was on the wrists of the elite. H. Moser & Cie teamed up with the BWT Alpine F1 team to create limited-edition 20 watches. Based on the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton, this beauty boasts a shocking pink dial and a sleek, 42.3mm steel case. But the magic's on the inside: the fully skeletonized HMC 811 caliber lets you peek into the heart of the watch, where the tourbillon spins like a hypnotic ballet dancer. This isn't just about flashy colors, though. The pink is a subtle nod to the BWT Alpine team's signature color, which itself represents their mission of clean water access. Now that's a partnership with a purpose! Only 20 of these limited-edition wonders available. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want a watch that's as thrilling as a Formula 1 race? Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find a way to add this to my collection!

Unisom is the perfect partner to help spread the message of self-care and beauty sleep, Siriano said (because who wouldn't want to look flawless while catching some Zzz's?). The best part? The dreamy photoshoot showcases Siriano's latest designs on a diverse group of models, proving that sleep and style can go hand-in-hand. Now that's what we call a power nap!

Did you know? The Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, is the fashion world's Super Bowl.
The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It is regarded as one of the most prestigious and exclusive events in the fashion world.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/25177a9a-3e9c-44b0-95f0-f0e096aef21b/Screenshot_2024-05-07_160808.png?t=1715094714)
The Met Gala was first introduced in 1948 by the iconic fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert as a way to raise money for the newly-founded Costume Institute and mark the opening of its annual fashion exhibition. In its early years, it was a relatively small, elite affair attended mainly by members of high society and industry insiders.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/636ef7af-690e-40e2-8933-79b1c951e7b3/Screenshot_2024-05-07_160936.png?t=1715094777)
Over the decades, the Met Gala has grown into a massive multimedia spectacle, with every aspect, from the guest list to the themed dress code, heavily influened and scrutinised. Since 1995, when Vogue took over as the organiser, editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has reigned as the chairwoman, carefully controlling all aspects from décor to publicity.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/f1fb4d27-2e3c-46b9-b87e-e99d8e1dc57d/blake-lively-met-gala-jewlery.jpg?t=1715094921)
The event now takes place on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Guests are given a specific dress code to align with that year's Costume Institute exhibit theme. From "Punk: Chaos to Couture" to "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," the themes allow attendees to essentially arrive as living art pieces. This year’s theme is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/d3105e02-9b0d-4428-9a49-c2e05dfdd11e/Screenshot_2024-05-07_161019.png?t=1715094681)
The most anticipated part is the red carpet fashion showcase, where the world's top celebrities, models, designers, and fashion icons go all-out with avant garde, theatrical looks interpreting the theme. Their daring outfit choices are then endlessly dissected and memorialised.
Beyond the red carpet, the ultra-exclusive event includes a formal dinner, a live performance, and a chance to preview the Institute's new annual exhibition before it opens to the public. It's a major fundraising event for the Costume Institute, with tickets rumoured to cost $35,000 apiece. The night celebrates fashion as a true work of art, and it will always be.
