Fashion’s biggest night — the Met Gala — was once again a diverse and inclusive affair with women and men of all races sporting some of the most buzzed-about and impressive looks of the evening.
Typically held on the first Monday in May, this year’s event was postponed due to COVID-19 and instead fell directly in the middle of New York City fashion month, making representation for POC an even more essential and visible matter.
The Gala was hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and the evening’s co-chairs, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman. The theme for this year’s event was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Here’s a look at some of the most fashionable — and widely discussed — outfits of the 2021 event:
