September 14, 2021 at 02:34AM Normani showed up on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet with the utmost confidence in her voluminous gown. Designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli of Valentino, the look came in the loveliest yellow tint of chartreuse, which the talented singer and dancer was quick to call out when Keke Palmer complimented her on the look for Vogue’s live stream. “Yellow pops on dark skin. I feel regal. I feel like a queen,” Normani said of the dress she calls an ode to Black girl excellence. Complete with shapely poufed sleeves, a plunging neckline played up by her gemstone pendant necklace, and teardrop diamond studs (really, what more could she need?), Normani drew attention to the design’s gathered cinch at the waist.

September 14, 2021 at 02:04AM Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made quite the debut at Monday night’s Met Gala! On first glance, the congresswoman appeared to be wearing a gorgeous off-the-shoulder white gown with a tulle train, but the second she turned around, we saw her iconic political statement: “Tax the Rich” plastered across the back of the dress in bright red lettering. It’s not lost on us that AOC chose the statement Brother Vellies look for one of fashion’s most extravagant, glamorous nights. As Aurora James so perfectly said, “If you’re going to come somewhere like the Met Gala and you’re a congresswoman, you expect nothing less.” Ocasio-Cortez completed the outfit with red heels with flowers, as well as a matching “tax the rich” bag.

September 14, 2021 at 01:58AM The 2021 Met Gala theme may have been a celebration of American fashion, but it appears as though Lil Nas X garnered inspiration from Russian nesting dolls when piecing together his looks for the night. The “Industry Baby” singer wore not one but three outfits custom-designed by Versace, each layered over one another à la the aforementioned dolls. He arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art looking like absolute royalty in a billowing, champagne-colored cape, and mere moments later, two men in suits helped him shed the outer layer to reveal a shiny gold suit of armor, complete with a six-pack, natch. Last, but most certainly not least, Lil Nas X’s grand finale look was an intricately beaded bodysuit that zipped up the front and made him look like a sultry superhero.

September 14, 2021 at 01:53AM When it came to the 2021 Met Gala, Ciara understood the assignment and she ran with it … she ran with it right into the end zone. On Monday night, the stunning singer and mom-of-three stepped out on the red carpet wearing a jersey dress by designer Peter Dundas to resemble none other than her husband Russell Wilson’s NFL jersey. The lime green sequined dress was inspired by the Seattle Seahawks quarterback’s number 3 jersey. With the theme of the Met Gala being “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” Ciara rocked a football-shaped purse and Russell’s 2013 Super Bowl ring - because there is nothing more American than football! During her red carpet interview with Keke Palmer for Vogue, Ciara said that she and Peter were inspired by Geoffrey Beene’s iconic football jersey dresses from the late 1960s.…

September 14, 2021 at 01:50AM After a yearlong hiatus, the 2021 Met Gala is back with all the allure. The theme, “In America: The Lexicon of Fashion,” invites guests to interpret what it means to be an American through their looks. All the celebrities, media personalities, and influential figures in attendance have a unique chance to uplift the communities they identify with. In today’s times, this call for individual expression and togetherness couldn’t resonate more. It then feels fitting to expect a diverse range of designers showcased on the red carpet. Black designers are having a big night, and I honestly love to see it. They have long set trends and influenced mainstream ways of dressing, and this recognition is long overdue. We’ve been keeping track of the guests wearing Black designs, so scroll on for the running list. Related: Every Look From…

September 14, 2021 at 01:29AM Jennifer Lopez chose to attend the 2021 Met Gala with iconic American designer Ralph Lauren, who custom created a plunging gown embellished with beads and feathers. She wore a two-toned, furry, fringed bolero with the dress, a cowgirl hat, a leather choker, and silver plated jewelry, fully embracing Western vibes. It’s an aesthetic she’s pulled off before - including that incredible leg slit that rose to the top of her thigh. The detail also worked to highlight her metallic platform heels, which are actually from her own collection for DSW. She proudly celebrated the sky-high shoes in a behind-the-scenes video with her stylist Rob Zangardi, reminding us that she, too, is an American designer worth celebrating. By paying homage both to Ralph Lauren’s fashion house that was founded in 1967 and her own talents as a collaborator in…
