2021 Met Gala Red Carpet Rundown: The Good - Part Two

Happy Monday! Let's get down to business.

Lil Nas X!
Absolutely gorgeous... and then!
Amazing! .... and then!
Stunning! Three custom Versace looks?! I bow down to you, Lil Nas X. This was a thrill.

Hailee Steinfeld!
If you're going to unveil a whole new you, this is the way to do it. I don't normally dig a monotone look that blends skin/hair/dress/shoes but it's giving me time lapse microscopic snowflake melt and I am into it.

Amandla Stenberg!
What a fun and commanding look, inspired by ballroom, playing with shape and texture and expectation. I am deeply in love with these shoes, in particular.

Wanna do some gowns? Let's do some gowns...

Venus Williams!
Straightforward gowns are not usually all that exciting to me at the Met Gala and usually end up in the Meh. That said, I am so delighted and charmed by this look on Venus. I could argue that it CUAN, but I do like the earrings that are the size of her face. I might be convinced that they do enough!

Billie Eilish!
Now THAT is a gown! I love that she did this very soft drag for the Met Ball, completely against expectation. 

Jennifer Hudson!
The fit on the dress and the impact of all that voluminous silk! What a fantastic look!

Sienna Miller, Hamish Bowles, and Emily Blunt!
Show me a more hilarious and glamorous photo, I dare you.

Mj Rodriguez!
I die. Please someone, call 911 for I have been murdered. There's really only one other thing to say about this...

Justin and Hailey Bieber!
With the full acknowledgement that if he posed/stood in any other way this would look like culottes, I am really impressed by both looks. I love the zipper motif on Hailey and I'm just so excited by Justin's tux by way of JNCO. I am not joking. Masc fashion is SO MUCH FUN right now!

Pete Davidson!
Case in point! For me, this was one of the best looks of the night. I'm not sure who is styling Pete Davidson but I'm confident in my assumption that it is not Pete Davidson himself. 

Gabrielle Union!
We are not worthy! What an incredible work of art! The nude illusion is shockingly good, too. This is the kind of dress that makes your breath catch in your throat.

Dominic Cooper!
What says American Fashion more succinctly than Miami Vice 2021? I love the way this is styled, I love the silk shirt, I love the colors. This could have come off extremely costumey but he's working it. Good on you, Dominic Cooper. 

Winnie Harlow!
She said this had a "superhero feeling" to it and I hereby petition Marvel, DC, every comics label to please add Super Winnie Harlow to your roster.

  1. These are amazing! I'm also thrilled that Billie got Oscar de la Renta to commit to no longer using fur, as her agreement to wear them.
