Now we love Kim but we do feel this year Kim Kardashian’s Balenciaga look lacked creativity from the celeb who usually serves on the red carpet. It was reported that Kim attended the Met with (ex)husband Kanye West but speculation suggests that the accompanying incognito costume contained Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia instead.

Timothée Chalamet

Iman wore an absolute show stopper of a gold leaf gown and matching head dress. Underneath Iman wore a gold bustier and flares giving us a truly breath taking moment on the red carpet.

Michaela Coel

Michaela Coel’s first met is one to remember. Presumably a nod to the American flag the actress wore head to toe electric blue sequins. A full Balenciaga moment we’re living for.

Kaia Gerber

Reinhart’s Christian Siriano gown is something we would of dreamed up as a little girl. The pink mesh dress with floral embellishments is the sort of thing we needed to see on a post pandemic red carpet.

Anok Yai

We couldn’t finish this blog post without our favourite look of the night. Anok Yai lives upto her reputation as the worlds most beautiful woman and was a spectacle at the 2021 Met Gala. Her look was inspired by Joshepine Baker and American born french entertainer who devoted her life to fighting racism. Not online did Anok look breath taking but she embodied the theme perfectly and paid tribute to an American icon. She takes the crown.
