Spectacular, shocking, and outrageously ostentatious describes the THE MET GALA 2021 arrivals. In Agenda Issue 16, Ty-Ron Mayes (Fashion Whisperer) gives a factual retrospective about the event. And to understand its origins answers so many questions! Be sure to read the article, “Cacophony of Americana Through the Lens of the MET.” The 2021 event was themed ‘American Independence’ and co-chaired by Gen Z’s brightest stars: Grammy Award-winning singer Billie Eilish, tennis pro Naomi Osaka, actor Timothée Chalamet, and poet Amanda Gorman with Vogue’s Anna Wintour, Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, and Tom Ford serving as the honorary chairs.
With an ensemble reflecting recent social justice movements, topics such as “body inclusivity, gender equality, immigration, sustainability, and Black Lives Matter were on display. This included jaw-dropping elegance, exaggerated style with scant sheers reminding us of early Beyoncé!” From here, we’ll let you enjoy the outlandish collection of exquisite (and some not so fabulous) designs that were displayed on some of the most famous celebrities in the world!
