After a two-year gap, the Met Gala made its comeback on September 13, 2021, in New York with a theme, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”

Earlier, it was decided to be organized in May 2021. This year’s hosts were the actor Timothée Chalamet, the musician Billie Eilish, the poet Amanda Gorman and the tennis star Naomi Osaka.

Red Carpet Looks

Rihanna, the queen of Met Gala, showed up late in a huge black Balenciaga look and hat accompanied by A$ap Rocky in a multicolored quilted number. She wore over 267 carats of Bulgaria diamonds, including two choker necklaces.

Kim Kardashian walked in a black Balenciaga bodysuit and covered her face with a matching mask. Rapper Lil Nas X dropped his cape to reveal Versace’s gold suit that he shed further to reveal a gold and black bodysuit. Jennifer Lopez walked the red carpet wearing a thigh-high slit glamorous dress, faux fur wrap, cowgirl hat, and statement neckpieces.

The Meaning Behind the Celebrity’s Outfits

Billie Elish went for a 1950s-esque cream gown that exuded the old Hollywood glamour opting for a softer look rather than her darker aesthetics. She revealed that she was uncomfortable in her skin, and now she felt like she finally did it. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the US representative, marked her first Met Gala appearance wearing a fitted white off-shoulder dress with the words TAX THE RICH written on it in bright red colors on the back.

Jennifer Lopez walked on the red carpet in her Ralph Lauren dress, which was quite literal with her ranch-inspired designer. Naomi Osaka took inspiration from her Japanese and Haitian heritage, designed by Louis Vuitton and Mari’s sister.
