One of the most major red carpet events of the year has arrived with the 2021 Met Gala. After a year without the iconic event, it’s been more anticipated than ever. We saw plenty of noteworthy Met Gala red carpet looks that we’ll be talking about for years, including everything from Timothée Chalamet’s outfit pairing sweatpants and Converse sneakers to the crystal-embellished “naked” g-string dress spotted on Kendall Jenner.
Beyond just standout looks, I was curious to see which major trends would unfold on the red carpet and there were definitely some worth diving into. We saw some like saturated shades and bare midriffs borrowed from the recent runways. Others, like “naked” dresses, are a designer favorite that seem to be reimagined for every red carpet. Ahead, the five biggest trends from the 2021 Met Gala.
At this point, “naked” dresses are a mainstay on red carpets and the 2021 Met Gala is no exception. This time around, we saw everything from crystal-embellished styles to netted versions.
Exposed midriffs are another skin-baring trend that has been gaining traction among the fashion set on the streety style scene. Now, it’s proving to be popular on red carpets as well.
For fall 2021, designers ushered joyful saturated shades into their collections. Tonight on the red carpet, the bold colors are adding a dose of fun to the celebrity looks.
From shiny metallics to crystal embellishments, there was a big emphasis on dresses with shiny finishes. These looks feel ready for a party and I’m here for it.
Designers brought some drama to the 2021 Met Gala red carpet with extra-long trains. It’s no surprise since the stairway is practically designed for a dramatic entrance.
