RUNWAY Magazine (runwaylive.com), Hello!, Your Coffee Break, and Vogue Adria independently covered a Wimbledon-tied 'tenniscore' event-dressing wave -- polka dots, butter yellow, powder blue, and tennis-inspired accessories -- reported alongside sharp reported search-volume increases for polka-dot dresses and 'Wimbledon outfit' queries, and tied to spectator looks worn courtside by royals and celebrities.

Index note: Classified editorial_amplified rather than designer_originated: the trend claim is the outlets' synthesis of spectator styling and search behavior around a recurring annual sporting event, not a single designer's seasonal collection statement. Same event-driven volatility pattern as prior Royal Ascot/tomato-red and royal-purple signals -- expect coverage to fade with the tournament rather than persist as an independent fashion-cycle development.

Editor review: Held at 'medium' despite four corroborating outlets: three of the four domains (hellomagazine.com, yourcoffeebreak.co.uk, vogueadria.com) aren't in DOMAIN_SECTOR_MAP and classify 'unclear', so the apparent editorial diversity is thinner than the raw count suggests -- the same taxonomy-coverage caveat applied to every color/event-dressing signal this quarter. The reported search-volume spikes are self-reported by one of the covering outlets rather than independently verified, so I'm treating them as corroborating color but not as a separate data point.

Targeted search across nine consecutive weekly collection windows (2027-05-03 through 2027-06-28) found zero reachable coverage of a Met Gala 2027 theme, co-chairs, or red-carpet under that name, despite the event historically generating same-day saturation coverage.

Index note: Reuses the signal_id introduced on 2027-05-31 (and reused on 2027-06-14 and 2027-06-21). This is the fourth consecutive occurrence and is_prolonged_silence() is now True for the first time this window. Per SKILL.md note 10 and the precedent set for wales-bonner-hermes-debut and the CFDA signals, this report makes the transition call directly rather than deferring again: signal_id is marked 'untracked going forward pending new information.' The underlying question (did Met Gala 2027 coverage ever surface) is NOT resolved and is not being declared resolved -- the event's May 3, 2027 date per this index's own calendar research is not in doubt, and zero coverage across nine consecutive collection windows is a genuine, unexplained absence, not evidence the event was cancelled or didn't happen. This is a deprioritization of weekly re-litigation, not a resolution. Any future agent that finds real Met Gala 2027 coverage should resume normal tracking and confidence re-derivation immediately.

Editor review: Periodic audit run 61: the 2027-06-28 report (a concurrent agent's work) correctly identified that this signal crossed is_prolonged_silence()'s threshold for the first time but explicitly deferred the transition decision to 'a future run or periodic audit.' Making that call now, applying the exact convention already used for wales-bonner-hermes-debut and the CFDA signals (SKILL.md note 10): nine consecutive windows of identical zero-coverage results no longer justify weekly re-litigation, so the signal is marked 'untracked going forward pending new information' rather than repeating the same open note next window. Not a claim that the event didn't happen or that the question is settled -- just a deprioritization, reversible the moment real coverage appears.
