I’m turning 40 in 304 days (not that I’m counting), and while many women my age are quietly pricing Botox treatments, I’ve spent a genuinely alarming amount of time feeding selfies into AI to see what I’ll look like at 80. Just me, my laptop, and a face that’s seen it all and is mildly disappointed in my children’s life choices. (By then they’ll be middle-aged. I’m really fun at parties, I promise.)

Anyway, imagine my unhinged delight when 32-year-old rapper Bad Bunny rocked up to the Met Gala as if he’d stepped out of my AI prompt – a silver fox on the waiting list for hip replacement surgery, in a look he said “took 53 years to prepare”. While other celebrities were beating the “beauty is youth” drum with Olympic-level intensity, including what looked suspiciously like Kendall Jenner’s massive wardrobe malfunction, Bad Bunny’s interpretation on the Gala’s theme “Fashion is Art” was a balm to my midlife........
