Met Gala Happened After Two Years & Was Trending, So Was Ranveer Singh

Each year, the Met Gala is a fashion event that the world waits for. Here celebrities vie with each other to be seen in the most outré, outrageous and original of outfits. In 2019, our own Priyanka Chopra had made a bit of a splash at the Met Gala. Each year the event has specific fashion themes. Camp: Notes of Fashion was the theme in 2019 and then there was no Gala last year. In 2021, the theme was In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Here are some eye-catching moments from the 2021 Met Gala; and also why Ranveer Singh was trending.

This happened

Former collegiate artistic gymnast Nia Dennis did this, much to the delight of the photographers and videographers in attendance.

So did this

So apparently this is big news in celeb gossip circuits – the formerly married, then divorced couple of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck (aka Bennifer) are together again. If there were doubts, this passionate masked kiss would serve to dispel them.

This was …

Kim Kardashian arriving – how can we be sure though.

Simone Biles

She is considered to be one of the finest gymnasts ever and the only one to win four gold medals at a single Olympics (2016). She pulled out of the Tokyo games partway, citing mental health reasons. She appeared in a 40kg dress studded with Swarovski crystals that 100 people took 6,650 hours to make.

This political statement

American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned up at the Met Gala in a dress that had the words “Tax the Rich” writ large upon it.

Pete Davidson

This was a pretty distinctive look. People either hated it or loved it.

An ode to Marilyn

Singer songwriter Billie Eilish was one of the co-chairs this year and her look was dedicated to tragic yesteryears star Marilyn Monroe.

Comfort accessories

A lot of the guests arrived with some comfort accessories such as this mildly disturbing comfort robot that Frank Ocean brought along. 

Lil Nas X…

…rapper and singer-songwriter arrived like this.

She was late

But Rihanna is always worth waiting for, according to fans as well as the pap.

#RanveerSingh was trending

Because he is ‘better’ than this?

Or…

Or is it because he can pull off a #MetGala look any day of the week?

Who is the original?

Who is the copy?

Valid question

#RanveerSingh was trending right along with #MetGala2021 because his fashion sense seems to be a natural pick for this event. 

Who needs whom?

Does Ranveer Singh need to be at the Met Gala, or does the Met Gala need him to be there?

He won’t disappoint

The Met Gala organisers should take notes – from Ranveer Singh
