Every theme party has that couple that comes in wearing whatever they want claiming it’s part of the theme. The pop cultural example of this is, “ I’m a mouse, duh .” But there are examples everywhere. The guy who just wears a blazer to a Mad Men party. The girl who wears black to a highlighter party. The idiot wearing a pallium to a toga party.This year at the Met Gala, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were that couple. Or, they were both wearing the same accessory, though they didn’t come as a couple. In honor of the Manus x Machina theme, meant to combine technology and fashion, they pretty much dressed fancy and put on a Tamagotchi. Is that, like, a thing? It totally should be.What it definitely is is a historically weak nod at a theme party. Forget a knife to a gunfight, this is butter to a hot knife fight. But it’s also cheeky and totally retro. You know what? Screw it. This is good. We're pro-Tamagotchi.“It’s a Tamagotchi,” Orlando yells to the camera.We know Orlando. Can we play with your outfit? Don’t let it die.People should start carrying Tamagotchis to parties so if you need to leave a conversation, you can pull it out and say “Sorry, gotta feed this thing.” It’s not only more believable than a phone call, but it’s also more urgent and a more blatant means of communicating the fact that you will not be returning.
