Stars are arriving on the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2021 Met Gala, a highly anticipated event following a year of lockdowns and cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dressing to the theme of “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” some of Hollywood’s biggest names have donned extravagant, bold and flashy outfits as they arrive for the charity event, which is organized by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
Vogue is sharing a livestream of the event, co-hosted by actor and recording artist Keke Palmer and actor, writer and director Ilana Glazer. Palmer and Glazer are greeting guests on the grand steps of the Met and providing commentary on the many unique ensembles. Here are some of those standout looks.
