America: A Lexicon In Mediocracy

This year’s Met was, admittedly, a shitshow from the get-go. From celebrities outing themselves as anti-vaxxers and refusing to attend the mandatory vaccinated event to influencer invitee controversy. Along with all that, I personally felt it was not a red carpet two years in the making, with far more fashion faux pas than anticipated. America: A Lexicon In Fashion allowed guests to pick from a broad spectrum of inspiration- from old Hollywood to colonial themes, from classic American designers and silhouettes to current political matters. Many celebrities simply snagged a gown/suit from their closet and arrived. Overall, the final product was disappointing. Without further ado, let’s get into the hits and misses of the 2021 Met Gala.
