Met Gala 2021

 

Hello Charlie! Today I am going to be witing my very first article ;wow wow wow!

I am going to talk about the Met Gala,the 2021 mostly, but also some general informations.

It's a fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. So stars, young creatives, and industry paragons are generally invited ,this year Tiktokers like Adisson Rae or Madison Beer were also there but also famous youtubers like Emma Chamberlain who covered the interviews of the stars for the Vogue's youtube channel. By the way I highly recommand you to check out these short videos or even the longer ones where you can see the whole process of creating an outfit for the Met Ball. Also Vogue is doing the whole media coverage.

So each year ,two themes are chosen and the celebreties need to find an outfit for both ;this year the themes were:"In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,”and “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” who will take place in may 2022 (for the second one.)

There are also always co-chairs at every met ball ;who are peaople who basically help with the guest list, food, decor and the "general feel of the evening."This year it's Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka, Amanda Gorman, and Timothée Chalamet.I like that these co-chairs are all very differant from their jobs to their looks. Amanda Gorman is a poet, Timothée Chalamet is an actor, she wore a dress and he wore sweats .This variety encorages diversity and I think it's fun and important to encorage and represent that as a co-chair.

So here are the looks I loved the most from this year;first of all, the Jenners and Kardashians(I had to start with them, I guess I am going to write an article about them someday)

1) Kendall Jenner is wearing a sparking dress inspired by Audrey Hedburn in "My Fair Lady" (an american icon)She looked FFFIIIRRRE

2) Kim Kardashian ,her look wasn't very impressive or beatifull in my point of view .She wore Balenciaga ensemble consisting of a black t-shirt with a train, black tights, and—oh yeah—a black mask that completely covered her face!

I recognize it was a pretty good idea...

She could be one of the night’s most-talked about without even showing her face. Fun fact ,her makeup artist did her make up that day,so if you ever fell useless remember that !

3) Let's move on to the Biebers; they looked very elegent even if their looks were a bit to much classic in my opinion Justin Beaber wore a black suit from his own label ''Drew House'' , and Hailey wore a slinky black dress by Saint Laurent .

4)Timothee Chalamet ;I don't love his look but he definitly completly the theme and he's Timothee Chalamet, so he never really takes himself seriously .He wore sweats,converse,and a blazer.

Pretty legendary if you ask me ,I guess we will all remenber this one !

5)The famous congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore a BoldStatement dress that screams ’Tax The Rich’.I t's interesting to use thes fashion events and fashion in general to express something here a political message ;which is pretty normal to her.Besides the dress is pretty basic but very beatifull and elegant.

Now that you know a bit more about the Met I will end this article by explaining to you the after party.

First of it's a party held after another event.There are actually ,at he Met Ball plenty stars that host one ,the annual evening at the very chic Top of the Standard hotel,Rihanna's party at the 1 Oak club,or LaQuan Smith who organized a jump under the Kosciuszko Bridge. But the invitation to absolutely win (the best one!), is the Balenciaga party.First of because all the cool people were there(Kim in a better dress,Kendall,Olivia Rodrigo and many others ) and second of all at everybody's suprise Justin Bieber sang!

Here are a couple of pictures :
