The Met Gala is held on the first Monday in May, but this year it was pushed ahead, so we can celebrate fashion’s biggest night out today, September 13. With New York Fashion Week and the VMAs, the Met Gala 2021 caps up a stunning week of jaw-dropping fashion in New York City.
Stars such as Kacey Musgraves, Lil Nas X, and Billie Eilish are already in town, and they’re bringing their best interpretations of the 2021 Met Gala theme, In America: A To the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with the Lexicon of Fashion.
If you’re curious about how American fashion transfers to hair and makeup, we’ve compiled a collection of our top beauty moments from the Met Gala’s cream carpet in 2021 for you to examine.
