Her gown could have gone in the red slideshow OR even maybe the naked one, or patterns, but the glittering under the lights caught my eye and so here it is. The actual front of this seems beside the point, as she and Christian Cowan worked to make a train that's paying homage to the Black American Heritage flag and the banner of The Philippines. "[That's what makes me an American girl," is what she told Keke Palmer](https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/saweetie-christian-cowan-dress-met-gala-2021-48502075?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443260j-1631601384.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock (12443260j) Saweetie arrives for The Met Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion in New York City on Monday, September 13, 2021\. 2021 Met Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 AND the train looks great on the stairs. ## Ciara in Dundas ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1340140288-1631608341.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 13: Ciara attends The 2021 Met Gala Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by John Shearer/WireImage) Ciara LOVES to wear Russell Wilson's jersey number. This made me laugh, in a good way -- as a woman who wears a lot of jerseys herself, I appreciate this on all the levels. ## Mary J Blige in Dundas ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443182og-1631600138.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (12443182og) Mary J. Blige attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibition, in New York 2021 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 This looks perfect on her. ## Laura Harrier in Altuzarra ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12442602us-1631600106.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12442602us) Laura Harrier Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 She's usually a Louis Vuitton girl, so I'm thrilled she defected momentarily to Joseph Altuzarra. This feels like a slightly dialed down -- and laced up -- Krystle Carrington shape. ## Emma Chamberlain in Louis Vuitton ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12442601k-1631600088.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (12442601k) Emma Chamberlain Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 Emma is a YouTuber who handled some video coverage for Vogue (mostly interviews). She has Resting Unenthusiastic Face but was in fact very stoked to talk to everyone, from the bits I heard. This is precise and very sexy on her, but also nothing that different than you'd see any other night of the year. ## Ayesha Curry, Steph Curry, Versace ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443182nd-1631600128.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (12443182nd) Ayesha Curry, left, and Stephen Curry attend The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibition, in New York 2021 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 Oh, Steph. Sockless?!? (They both look good. I enjoy that he appears to be popping out to say cuckoo.) ## Yara Shahidi in Dior ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443232ad-1631600167.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Broadimage/Shutterstock (12443232ad) Yara Shahidi Celebrities departing The Mark Hotel, New York City, USA - 13 Sep 2021 Yara said she and Jason Bolden worked to make this a tribute to Josephine Baker. She looks fantastic. She's got a absurd amount of presence. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1235243108-1631600248.jpg) NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 13: Yara Shahidi attends Met Gala 2021 on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Raymond Hall/GC Images) In this shot, she looks like she's wistfully glancing back at what could have been, before climbing the steps to a wedding she does not want. ## Precious Lee in Area ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443232av-1631600177.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Broadimage/Shutterstock (12443232av) Precious Lee Celebrities departing The Mark Hotel, New York City, USA - 13 Sep 2021 This looks hella uncomfortable. It's crushing her. ## Taika Waititi and Rita Ora (in Prada) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443182tf-1631600147.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (12443182tf) Taika Waititi and Rita Ora attend The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibition, in New York 2021 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 This is one of Rita's better looks. ## Ariana DeBose ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443182wx-1631600156.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (12443182wx) Ariana DeBose attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibition, in New York 2021 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 Gorgeous. ## Kacey Musgraves in Ralph Lauren ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443286jp-1631600208.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by JUSTIN LANE/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (12443286jp) Kacey Musgraves poses on the red carpet for the 2021 Met Gala, the annual benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, in New York, New York, USA, 13 September 2021\. The event coincides with the Met Costume Institute's first two-part exhibition, 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' which opens 18 September 2021, to be followed by 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion' which opens 05 May 2022 and both conclude 05 September 2022\. 2021 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 "Sorry guys! [I went hard last night](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kacey-musgravess-hat-is-a-true-vmas-legend-09-2021/) and this is what's left." ## Taraji P. Henson in Moschino ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1340135805-1631600239.jpg) NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 13: Taraji P. Henson attends The 2021 Met Gala Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue ) This looks like a fitting went wrong, and then so did her makeup, ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443232gn-1631600186.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Broadimage/Shutterstock (12443232gn) Taraji P. Henson Celebrities departing The Mark Hotel, New York City, USA - 13 Sep 2021 I hope she can sit in that without it... scooching too far south. ## Ava DuVernay ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443182lz-1631600119.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (12443182lz) Ava Duvernay attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala celebrating the opening of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" exhibition, in New York 2021 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala, New York, United States - 13 Sep 2021 Just a touch of sparkle, but a touch was enough. She is glorious. ## Keke Palmer in Sergio Hudson ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12442602u-1631600097.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12442602u) Keke Palmer Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 I like this, too. KILLING IT, Keke. ## Sienna Miller in Gucci ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12442601ew-1631600078.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (12442601ew) Sienna Miller Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 Sure. It's very Old Hollywood, or at least, feels like that's what it is referencing. ## Iman in Harris Reed ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443342gb-1631600217.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12443342gb) Iman Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 AND THEN. This was so uplifting, until I found out it was Secret D&G. ## Iman and Harris Reed ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443342gg-1631600226.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matt Baron/Shutterstock (12443342gg) Harris Reed and Iman Costume Institute Benefit celebrating the opening of In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, Arrivals, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 The matching headdress on Harris is beyond. I assume the design is all Harris's. Do we think the craftspeople are D&G's? The pattern on the jumpsuit does also feel like it evokes their work. Did D&G basically just crawl into the Met through the back door? Whatever the affiliation, I sure hope Iman knew about it. Or wait, maybe I don't, because then it feels like she kinda plotted along with them. Ugh. Neither is ideal. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443286cv-1631600196.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by JUSTIN LANE/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock (12443286cv) Harris Reed (L) and Iman (C) pose on the red carpet for the 2021 Met Gala, the annual benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, in New York, New York, USA, 13 September 2021\. The event coincides with the Met Costume Institute's first two-part exhibition, 'In America: A Lexicon of Fashion' which opens 18 September 2021, to be followed by 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion' which opens 05 May 2022 and both conclude 05 September 2022\. 2021 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA - 13 Sep 2021 I would have loved to see her wrangle that in person. Especially inside. I am guessing she took the whole outer shell off and just wore the gold jumpsuit, but I can dream of that headdress poking out over the top of a bathroom stall, can't I? YES. I CAN. [It Wouldn't Be The Met Gala Without a Lot of Sparkle and ShineAnd we were ALMOST a Met Gala free of D&G. Almost.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2021/09/shutterstock_editorial_12443342gb-1631600217.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/it-wouldnt-be-the-met-gala-without-a-lot-of-sparkle-and-shine-09-2021/)
