It’s fashion’s biggest night out.
At its heart, the Met Gala is a celebration of New York’s prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, with the funds raised by its A-list guests contributing to the survival and development of the establishment. However, the Met Gala is perhaps best known for its incredible red carpet looks…
Famously considered fashion’s biggest night out, the Met Gala consistently sees no shortage of memorable moments occur – and this year’s event was no different. Following its cancellation in 2020, the Met Gala finally made its long-awaited return on September 13th, as the world’s biggest stars took to the famous steps of the New York Metropolitan Museum Of Art to give their own interpretation of the theme ‘In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion‘.
There were feathers, there were gemstones, there was old Hollywood glamour and, of course, there was plenty of red, white and blue. In case you missed it, here are just a few of the best looks from the Met Gala 2021.
