The Most Fashionable Looks From Met Gala 2021

The theme for Met Gala 2021 was In America: A lexicon of fashion” with homages to American icons, blunt political statements and thoughtful takes on the US identity and heritage. This year’s Met gala was a more intimate affair due to the ongoing pandemic with only about a third of the usual guest list invited to participate in fashion’s biggest night.

The annual soirée took place on the 13th of September 2021 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York with Hollywood Celebrities dressed in the most fashionable regalia. However, compared to previous years, the Met Gala Looks for this year were not as creative.

Here are some outstanding looks from the Red carpet.

Iman met gala look 2021
Iman, the legendary supermodel showed up in a custom gold brocade bustier and trousers paired with a tiered, gilded feather cage overskirt and bespoke matching headpiece designed in a collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and British-American designer Harris Reed.

This was the most outstanding look for the night.
Gabrielle Union met gala dress designer 2021
48-year-old Gabrielle Union wore a stunning Iris Van Herpen gown for fashion’s biggest night.
She paid tribute to one of her idols, Cicely Tyson, with a dress designed by Samantha Black that pays tribute to Tyson’s 1974 Emmy’s look.
Kim kardashian faceless balenciaga ensemble
I don’t know what Kim Kardashian was trying to achieve with this look but she obviously gave people what to talk about. The reality Tv star showed up in faceless all black custom Balenciaga ensemble.

She was joined on the red carpet by the luxury label’s elusive creative director, Demna Gvasalia who was also entirely obscured in black as well.
Kendall Jenner wore a sheer crystal-embellished Givenchy Haute Couture gown over a corset bodysuit. A sparkling high-neck choker and retro updo completed the look.
She paid homage to Audrey Hepburn’s iconic Givenchy gown from the pivotal ball scene in My Fair Lady.
Ciara in a shimmery floor-length lime green dress with an inscription of the number “3” in front to honour her husband Russel Wilson.
lil nas gold armour ensemble at met gala 2021
Lil Nas took the Knight in shinning armour look to a different level. The rapper wore a gold custom-designed armor by Donatella Versace that was the red carpet equivalent of a Matryoshka doll.
lily Reinhardt pink corset dress met gala
Lily Reinhard’s pink corset gown was an ode to 50 states which celebrated American fashion. The sheer dress had a drape-like detail rooted from the bodice and settled at the floor with charming multi-coloured flowers.
Her outfit was glammed up with silver ankle-strap stilettos, earrings, and a single neck chain which was heavily studded.

These celebrities stood out the most. I feel like every other person looked quite basic. What are your thoughts on the MET GALA LOOKS FOR 2021? Who was your best dressed/worst dressed celebrity for the night? Share your thoughts in the comment box below.
