That’s a wrap! Despite being postponed amid the coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 Met Gala came and went in the blink of an eye. Stars flocked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, September 13, wearing their designer best.
This year’s theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” and naturally, red carpet fashion looks ran the gamut from classic to bold. Billie Eilish opted for a timeless style with vintage flair à la Marilyn Monroe, while Jennifer Lopez made a statement in a sexy Western-inspired outfit.
And that’s just two of the 100 plus celebs who walked the red carpet, slaying in American designers like Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, and Cristopher John Rodgers. But some stars’ ensembles stood out among the rest, landing them a spot on Us Weekly’s best dressed list. Those who made the cut? Kaia Gerber, Amanda Gorman, Yara Shahidi, Iman, and Billie Eilish.
To see all of these looks, watch the video above and keep scrolling for a breakdown of each celeb’s gorgeous ensemble.
