What is the Met Gala 2021 about?

For those unaware, the Met Gala is an annual fundraising event to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It is also called fashion’s biggest night. As usual, this year’s Met Gala will be packed with Hollywood stars, celebrities, sports icons, and of course, famous fashion designers. Read on to find out how and when you can watch the event.

The Costume Institute is venturing into new territory this year. The Met Gala 2021 will be a more youth-focused affair compared to those of the past few years. Rising Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet, British singer Billie Eilish, American poet Amanda Gorman, and Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka will be hosting this year’s Met Gala alongside veteran fashion designer Tom Ford and Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue.

This year’s Met Gala theme is "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” celebrating the Costume Institute’s 75th anniversary. Also, the event will be a much smaller and intimate affair, probably due to keeping in mind the Covid protocols. However, if all goes well this year, the 2022 Met Gala is expected to be grand and flamboyant like always.
