The biggest event in fashion returned last night. After a one-year hiatus, celebrities descended upon New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual Met Gala.
This year, the theme echoed the Costume Institute's exhibition, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion — and our stars gave it their all. From Kim Kardashian's fetish wear-inspired ensemble to the references to Old Hollywood, it was the sartorial display that many of us were hoping for after a year of being locked inside.
Here are 15 of the most iconic looks...
1. Billie Eilish
Bad Guy singer, Billie Eilish, channeled old Hollywood — and Marilyn Monroe — in Oscar de la Renta.
2. Kim Kardashian
Sleep paralysis demon, or haute couture? Kim Kardashian certainly made a statement with this seemingly horror movie-inspired look by Balenciaga.
3. Elliot Page
Elliot Page made his Met Gala 2021 debut wearing a Balenciaga suit, black trainers, and a green rose pinned to the lapel.
Fans speculated whether the 34-year-old's accessory was paying homage to the green carnation symbol that is associated with Oscar Wilde. Back in 1892, the British writer asked his guests to wear green carnation flowers on their lapels, and since then, the green flower has been considered a queer symbol.
4. Zoe Kravitz
Big Little Lies star, Zoe Kravitz, dazzled in a silver, see-through, slip dress by Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.
5. Lorde
Lorde wore an embellished two-piece from Bode, which was topped off with an amazing headpiece.
6. Lil Nas
Lil Nas' three-part Met Gala ensemble was regal, with a capital "R". The dramatic look was custom designed by none other than Donatella Versace.
7. Barbie Ferreira
Euphoria actress, Barbie Ferriera, fit the spec with this modern interpretation of flapper dress by Jonathan Simkhai.
8. Carey Mulligan
Carey Mulligan could have doubled for Audrey Hepburn in a bright pink bustier Valentino gown.
9. Pete Davidson
Comedian, Pete Davidson, looked dapper in Thom Browne.
10. Rihanna
Met Gala veteran, Rihanna, made a statement in this all-black custom Balenciaga gown.
11. Iman
Supermodel, Iman, was a celestial vision in Harris Reed. Complete with a feathered overskirt and matching headpiece, she more than lived up to our expectations.
12. Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner channelled old school money in Givenchy.
13. Gigi Hadid
Wearing Prada, Gigi Hadid, was part Jessica Rabbit and part 50's Hollywood starlet.
14. Timothee Chalamet
Wearing Haider Ackermann and a pair of converses, Timothée Chalamet, was a picture of the American dream.
15. Yara Shahidi
Yara Shahidi was inspired by the legendary Josephine Baker. She channeled her icon in a bedazzled Christian Dior gown, embroidered elbow-length gloves, and a diamond Cartier choker.
