MY FAVORITE LOOKS FROM THE MET GALA
This post is some days old sha. The Met Gala happened on Monday and there were a lot of looks that were of note. I decided to take you through my top 10 looks of the evening and give you some education on what the fuss with the Met Gala is.
I will answer a few questions you might have been asking in your mind and feeling too lazy to google about. My criteria for these outfits are strictly based on execution, general presentation, and aesthetic satisfaction to me as a fashion enthusiast.
WHAT IS THE MET GALA?
The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit and also known as the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit. Each year's event celebrates the theme of that year's Costume Institute exhibition, and the exhibition sets the tone for the formal dress of the night, since guests are expected to choose their fashion to match the theme of the exhibit.
THEMES
Each year the event has a theme, and includes a cocktail hour and a formal dinner. During the cocktail hour, guests arrive to walk on the red carpet, tour the year's special themed exhibition, and be seated before the dinner party that includes entertainment from the preeminent entertainers of the day. The theme not only sets the tone for the annual exhibit, but also for the guests who attempt to dress to uphold the theme of the year, oftentimes causing runs on certain fashion themes among the world's leading fashion retailers.
MET GALA 2021
The Met Gala 2021 was themed "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion". It was the first part of a two-part exhibition on the theme of American Fashion which will be concluded in 2022. This Met Gala opened the exhibition at the Anna Wintour Costume Center on September 18, 2021 which will remain on display till May 5, 2022, the proposed date for Part two of the exhibition titled "In America: An Anthology of Fashion". The show will run till September 5, 2022.
My favorite looks of the night in no particular order are as follows:
CL
I love what she did with the jeans. I would wear mine with a pair of trousers instead. Hairstyling was phenomenal as well. She nailed the theme as well. What is more American than denim?
The post took longer than I anticipated and I liked more looks than I thought I would. Bottom line I was excited to somewhat follow the gala and write my thoughts. Which look is your favorite and why?
Leave your thoughts about the post in the comment section. I had fun. Hope you did too?
Till my next post,
All my love,
