The Met Gala 2021 took place in New York on Monday with a crowd of nearly 400 actors, athletes, and performers in attendance. The event was canceled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Rapper Lil Nas X, singers Rihanna and Billie Eilish, model Iman were among the best-dressed celebrities of the night. This year’s official theme was American Independence.
Rapper Lil Nas X wore Versace and stripped down to reveal not one, but three gold outfits–from cape to armor to embellished jumpsuit. Kim Kardashian opted for an all-black ensemble. She covered her face in a black Balenciaga outfit and accessorized with heels and wore her hair in a ponytail.
Ralph Lauren dressed Jennifer Lopez in fur. Her brown ensemble featured her signature plunge at the neck and high slit, and a wide-brimmed Western-style hat. Supermodel Iman opted for a stunning feathered gold and beige headdress and cage skirt. Timothée Chalamet had Converse sneakers on his feet but Cartier diamonds on his outfit. He called his outfit, including Rick Owens sweatpants, an ‘a bit of everything’.
