The Met Gala 2021 is happening tonight at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Typically held on the first Monday of May, the event is held to mark the opening of the Met Costume Institute’s annual exhibition; This year’s edition of the annual event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic (the 2020 event was canceled). The exhibit this year features two parts: “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” and “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” The 2021 Gala is co-chaired by Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka. Check out the looks from Lil Nas X (who took a cue from Lady Gaga’s 2019 red carpet entrance and revealed multiple looks as he entered), Frank Ocean (who brought a small green friend), Lorde, Grimes, Megan Thee Stallion, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Olivia Rodrigo, Chloe x Halle, Kacey Musgraves, David Byrne, and more below.
