Twitter Reacts to Met Gala 2021 Outfits

Arguably one of the most anticipated events of the year for fashion, Met Gala 2021 did not disappoint in bringing head-turning looks to the carpet. After its postponement, stars showed up and showed out at the event in their best rendition of this year’s theme, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.

Like most years, the Met Gala brought forward some of the most creative embodiments of the all-Americana style. With such a wide range of interpretations, there has been an abundance of opinions on which celebrity best captured the general essence of the night. Ultimately, the theme came down to a shortened single-word theme of “America.” Designers and their muse reimagined their definition and onlookers received were able to witness Lil Nas X‘s three-layer outfit that honored C3PO, Frank Ocean commenting on the future of the world with robots and A$AP Rocky giving a masterclass in staying cozy and warm.

While the tradition of the event is to raise money for the Costume Institute, Twitter’s tradition is to comment on the larger-than-life avant-garde outfits worn by the celebrities in attendance. Take a look below at some of the reactions the outfits have garnered on Twitter.

I’m a bit confused about the MET gala theme this year looking at all the photos? It’s supposed to be celebrating all things American fashion and yet everyone is wearing gowns and suits from European fashion houses? Am I missing something?

looking at Met Gala pics without knowing the theme!! but based on the pics my best guess is “expensive” ????

I think “Here’s 20 bucks to spend at a thrift store, no cheating” would be a very fun Met Gala theme and I simply do not know why I am not in charge of these things
