O say can you see
It's the second Monday in September, and that means the 2021 Met Gala — postponed from May, after last year's Gala was canceled entirely — is underway. The event closes out an abbreviated New York Fashion Week, the return of which heralded a pandemic-era comeback for the American fashion industry; appropriately, the theme of the evening and accompanying Met exhibit is "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion." Along with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the evening's co-chairs were Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka. Check out the night's best looks, celebrating American independence and ingenuity, ahead.
