Met Gala 2021 Best Dressed: Our Picks
Hello Design Land Readers,
This season’s highlight remains to be one of the most extravagant fashion events of the year and dare we say, one that we anticipated highly: The Met Gala. Although the Met Gala takes place every year on the first Monday of May, it was postponed earlier this year due to the urgent state of the pandemic, and finally took place on September 13th. This event is always one to create conversations that last for weeks in the fashion world, attention that is much deserved.
How could we ever claim to love and worship fashion, if we did not make sure to cover our favorite styles from the Met Gala Red Carpet walk. As per tradition, Met Gala 2021 has selected a theme with the aim of provoking creative sparks. This year’s theme is in association to the Costume Institute’s new exhibition: "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion". In a nutshell, the task for the 2021 Gala’s guests consisted of dressing up in what represents an aspect of the American sartorial history using their own unique interpretations. Co-chairs of this Met gala included Billie Eilish, Timothée Chalamet, Amanda Gorman, Naomi Osaka and a long exclusive list of celebrities. From recreations of old Hollywood Glamour, cultural representation, embodiment of revolutionary moments in American history, to delivering succinct significant messages, this year’s Met Gala was truly a fascinating one.
