With a dress code centered on the theme of American Independence, corresponding with the Met’s In America: A Lexicon of Fashion exhibit, the gala showcased the very best of American fashion and all the different meanings that “Americana” can take. Though some stars took a subtler approach, there were a handful of celebs who absolutely understood the assignment and soared bald-eagle-style above the rest! There were definitely a few “traditional” Americana designs but also several that evoked the rich history and diversity of what it means to be American in 2021. Take a look at some of our picks for the most on-theme stars of the night. Continue Reading… Author Amanda Prahl | citywomen.co Selected by CWC

September 14, 2021 at 05:37PM Rihanna might have been covered up from head-to-toe on the Met Gala red carpet, but whew, was her afterparty look a totally different story! After arriving fashionably late to the annual ball in a billowing Balenciaga gown reminiscent of a chic duvet cover, the billionaire multihyphenate strolled up to her highly anticipated afterparty in a modern-day, flapper-style outfit, also by Balenciaga. She tied up a simple black T-shirt on one side, fashioning it into a crop top, and added a completely sheer jewel-trimmed skirt for that “wow” factor. Similar to her gala getup earlier in the evening, Rihanna piled on the shiny accessories, subbing in a black bedazzled headpiece and adding several diamond bracelets and rings, a silver and black choker, Nikos Koulis tassel necklace, glitzy earrings, a fuzzy clutch with silver chains, and Amina Muaddi heels with…

September 14, 2021 at 05:33PM Megan Fox didn’t hold back for her first Met Gala, wearing a sexy red Dundas gown with countless crisscross cutouts and debuting shocking baby bangs. And it looks like the festivities didn’t end on the Upper East Side. The Till Death actress swapped her lace-up dress for another red-hot outfit for the afterparty: this time, a one-shoulder mini embellished with similar sequin and crystal details, basically rocking a shorter, comfier version of her glamorous look from earlier in the night. While Megan attended the Met solo, she met up with boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly at the afterparty, where he joined in on the fun in a complementary outfit adorned with the same red sequins. While Megan’s hot Dundas gown was of course, custom, the short dress - that also features a cool exaggerated shoulder - is a Dundas…

September 14, 2021 at 05:16PM Elliot Page looked effortlessly cool at the Met Gala on Monday. The actor wore a black Balenciaga suit and chunky sneakers, also by the brand, for his first-ever appearance at the famous fashion event. It was his boutonniere, however, that caught our attention, and added some symbolism to the otherwise understated outfit. The green rose pinned to Elliot’s suit is widely being interpreted as a nod to Oscar Wilde. The poet and playwright famously had one of his actors wear a green carnation on opening night of his 1892 comedy Lady Windermere’s Fan. He also had several of his friends wear green carnations on their lapels as well. Being that Oscar was believed to be gay, and prominently featured gayness as a theme in his work, the green carnation has since been claimed as a symbol for gay…

September 14, 2021 at 04:22PM Natalia Bryant makes her Met Gala debut! What an iconic way to kick off a fashion career. The up-and-coming model just signed with IMG Models in February and is already out here making statements on red carpets. On Monday night, the 18-year-old wore a dramatic ‘60s-inspired look by Connor Ives, a creation that will also be on display at the Met’s “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” exhibition. Created to explore the themes of an American debutante, the beautiful dress was covered in colorful floral sequins made from recycled PET plastic and featured a balloon-shaped silhouette and train that left Natalia with no choice but to stand the entire car ride to the event. And while she couldn’t sit in the gown, she certainly did the design justice with the help of Image Architect Law Roach, completing the…

September 14, 2021 at 03:45PM After being canceled due to coronavirus last year, the Met Gala, fashion’s biggest event of the year, was back with a bang last night in New York City. Cohosted by singer Billie Eilish, poet Amanda Gorman, actor Timothée Chalamet, and tennis player Naomi Osaka, the event undoubtedly makes top billing in the celebrity calendar, drawing the hottest names in the business to showcase their ensembles for the evening and fundraise for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. For the 2021 event, the selected theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”, and Vogue reported that Met Gala regular and fashion icon Lewis Hamilton chose to use his influence at the event to showcase Black designers. A frequent Met Gala attendee, the seven-time Formula One champion is known for wearing the work of high profile designers. This year, however, Hamilton…
