Met Gala 2021 just happened, and as it’s one of the most anticipated events of the year, the internet had a field trip with some funny tweets about celebrities and their outfits.
The theme for this year’s edition was “Independent America,” and celebrities seem to have had a fun time trying to figure that out. A lot of them seemed to be on point, taking inspiration from other icons in the US’ history, but some of them are like they weren’t even trying.
DC’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the opportunity to raise awareness regarding the rich tax. She wrote on her Instagram account: “Proud to work with @aurorajames as a sustainably focused, Black woman immigrant designer who went from starting her dream @brothervellies at a flea market in Brooklyn to winning the @cfda against all odds – and then work together to kick open the doors at the Met. The time is now for childcare, healthcare, and climate action for all. Tax the Rich.”
And yes, BEFORE anybody starts wilding out – NYC elected officials are regularly invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing our city’s cultural institutions that serve the public. I was one of several in attendance. Dress is borrowed via @brothervellies 🤗”
Of course, Met Gala 2021 gave us the perfect opportunity to channel our inner Miranda Priestly, and the tweets are even more fun than the actual event.
Check them out:
I know the theme wasn’t the best but come on, at least try! #MetGala2021
