N.Y. Times-named legendary fashion authority Suzy Menkes captured an incredible moment at the Met Gala:
Quote:
"My lasting memory will be Madonna climbing up the Temple of Dendur to cheer on Kanye,” says Menkes. “And from my privileged position, it was very clear she just had these fishnet hose on and nothing underneath. It was an incredible moment."
The Temple of Dendur (Dendoor in nineteenth century sources) is an Egyptian temple that was built by the Roman governor of Egypt, Petronius, around 15 BC and dedicated to Isis, Osiris, as well as two deified sons of a local Nubian chieftain, Pediese ("he whom Isis has given") and Pihor ("he who belongs to Horus"). The temple was commissioned by Emperor Augustus of Rome and has been exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1978.
