The return of the Met Gala on Monday night was quite the spectacle as celebrities gathered to attend the most iconic fashion event of the season in New York City.
With this year’s theme being In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, an array of interpretations were worn by celebrities as they showcased their outfits on the red carpet before enjoying the evening of the annual benefit. While some chose to wear looks created by American designers, others embraced the country’s ideas of independence, freedom of expression, and more. Here, check out the hottest trends that appeared on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet.
Evening Gloves
Many celebrities channeled Old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist at the 2021 Met Gala. In particular, evening gloves were seen on the hands (and arms) of several attendees on Monday night.
Backless Dresses
Seductive yet classy, backless dresses were a favorite among celebrities at this year's event.
Western
Since this year's theme celebrates American fashion, it's no surprise that several looks inspired by the Wild West would appear on the red carpet. From cowboy hats and boots to denim, there were many American staples on display.
Feathers
From luxurious feather boas to dramatic capes, feathers were a huge staple at the Met Gala.
