The Met Gala 2021 took place last night. Few followed or understood the theme, American Independence -paying tribute to American Style, but that happens every year. While there were a few nods to red, white and blue, stars and stripes, denim, cowboys and classic American designers, most just took the opportunity to turn out in truly wonderful and weird fashions.

We’ve got the photos worth seeing from the Met Gala 2021 here and hundreds more on our Met Gala 2021 Pinterest Board

We noticed a few undeniable trends at last night’s event. One that was hard to miss were the popular silver beaded sheer gowns that were barely there (much like Dakota Jackson’s from the Venice Film Festival).

And sheer floral gowns.

Designer Iris Van Herpen had a huge showing on the red carpet this year. Clad in her futuristic fashions were Gabrielle Union, Valentina Sampaio, Hailee Steinfeld, Tessa Thompson, Amanda Grimes and Winnie Harlow.

There were some toned tummies:

And some no tummies:

And some very sexy decolletage

There were some who went big, beautiful and beaded:

And some had a message:

A few went ballroom glam.

While several chose to go formal in classic black and white:

Some went for vibrant color

While pastels were the color of choice for some.

There were outfits that transformed on the red carpet.

And some were so odd, they needed no transformation.

Of course, we couldn’t post ALL the pics, that’s why we put over 240 on our Pinterest board here.
