|
Met Gala 2021

This time, Met Gala had guests celebrating the American spirit and bring about their interpretations. The theme was 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' and while a number of celebrities like Billie Eilish took inspiration from the old Hollywood glamour, the others including Michaela Cole exuded sporty side. However, these weren't just the two broad categories on how celebrities paid a tribute to America, they also showed artistic touch and some like Kim Kardashian gave us such winning looks that we were kept guessing about the inspiration. The main host of the show, Anna Wintour wore the Dominican-American designer Oscar de la Renta's brand gown that was floral and ruffled - the elements the designer became famous for popularising. But let's talk about what other celebrities wore that had the attention of the social media.

Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka's American Champion Dress

The former US Open Champion, Naomi Osaka had the internet talking after putting her mental health over a Grand Slam championship. She started a brand-new conversation centered on press conferences post the matches but Naomi Osaka didn't only send waves in tennis but also left everyone awestruck with her fashion at Met Gala. Her statement attire was a collaboration between her, her sister Mari Osaka, and Nicolas Ghesquiere. It was a Louis Vuitton dress that she sported and it was a halter silk dress splashed in the shade of blue and with a red bow belt. Naomi also paired her ensemble with ruffled black shrug and ankle-length boots. She accessorised her look with dainty rings and the makeup was highlighted by pink and red tones - particularly the red eye shadow we are predicting might trend. The loop and wing-inspired hairdo was unique too. Well, done, Naomi Osaka and kudos to stylist Karla Welch.

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez's Cowboy Glam Look

Jennifer Lopez brought two different elements in her look and made it work like wonders too. Well, she wore a cowboy hat and glamorous gown - both exuding the spirit of America. She wore a custom Ralph Lauren embroidered long western dress and faux fur shearling cape. Her brown-hued gown involved 15 specialised embroiders and over 12 days of work. The gown was also accentuated by more than 25,000 design elements. Jennifer Lopez, who has been slaying it at Venice Film Festival and VMAs, made a strong case for jewellery with heavy silver and leather and brass neckpieces and complementing bracelets. She also wore a pair of sleek danglers and her makeup was enhanced by pink lip shade and purple eye shadow. Jennifer Lopez completed her look with a long blonde ponytail.
