Last year's Met Gala was postponed and later canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, but fashion's biggest night has returned with an intimate affair that did not skimp on major sartorial moments. Celebs reunited on the famous red carpet at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, Sept. 13, for the glamorous soirée, which aims to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year's theme was "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," an exploration of the nation’s sartorial identity and a deep dive into American ingenuity, and the stars did not disappoint in living up to their stylish patriotic duty. From Jennifer Lopez and Megan Fox to Billie Eilish and Rihanna, A-listers interpreted the theme and wowed in their stars, stripes and sequins!
Scroll through the gallery to see all of the amazing red carpet arrivals.
