It's the 2021 Met Gala baby, and this year's theme is "Celebrating In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
With all this *fashion* going on, there were bound to be some super clever details involved in the creation of these pieces. Here are just a few:
1. Timothée Chalamet is wearing Converse shoes. Oh, and those Haider Ackermann pants are sweats.
2. Yara Shahidi's Christian Dior gown is actually a homage to Josephine Baker.
4. Amanda Gorman's Vera Wang dress is inspired by the Statue of Liberty. She said herself, "The crown and laurel is where the word 'poet laureate' comes from, which I've been honored to be given that title."
5. Saweetie's Christian Cowan gown is embellished with 10 million crystals. The train has the Black American heritage flag and Filipino flag in it, as an homage to Saweetie's own heritage, and apparently came together in less than a day.
6. Maisie Williams' look is inspired by The Matrix — check out her nails — and is designed by her boyfriend, Reuben Selby.
7. Frank Ocean paired his Prada jacket with a neon green robotic baby.
8. Simone Biles' dress is 98 pounds — close to the weight of Simone herself.
9. Pete Davidson is wearing Fred Leighton garnets as a tribute to his late father and others who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks. He's also wearing a dress.
11. Megan Rapinoe's bag reads "In gay we trust."
12. While Kris Jenner's carrying a ball and chain.
13. Karlie Kloss’s dress (and bag) is inspired by the USA’s national flower: a rose.
