My Met Gala 2021 favourites
Hello and welcome to another blog post.
I wanted to pop on here and make a note of my favourite outfits from the Met Gala 2021.
I've never really paid too much of my attention to this event, however this year I was intrigued and as a result of that I've compiled a list of my favourites. I'm also hoping that this creativity will rub off on me and I'll get back into making large scale pieces. Because once upon a time, this was what I worked on regularly and it was a fulfilling way of spending my time.

So without further ado, my favourite outfit is this beautiful gown worn by Rachel Smith, designed by Rodarte...
I'm a sucker for anything made in this shade of pink and I adore the red speckles. I like the layers of ruffles- this with the soft colour, I think it's beautiful and elegant, yet bold with the large puffy shoulders.
Much the same with the previous, I like this colour palette and I also really like the detail and context.

Incorporating map and ocean visuals makes for gorgeous pastel colours with some bolder blues. The bodice features two figures kissing and to me this represented love across the oceans; two people able to meet and fall in love whilst coming from different places. I enjoy this use of contest and textile detail.
I found this dress intriguing due to the shape. It reminds me of marbles I would play with as a child with the bright colourful flowers. The shape, I was surprised to see in an event as prestigious as this sinceit gives no indication of the figure underneath- very rare for female clothing.
This is a really fun peice.
The theme for the Met gala this year was In America, I'm not sure exactly what the idea was behind this peice but paired with the hat I get a show performer type vibe. Like it would fit in the 1970's Chicago musical.
Experimental and creative, worn beautifully by Tessa Thompson.

Instantly, my mind went to the wedding dress in the Hunger Games Catching Fire film, where Katniss stands on the stage and transforms from this dress. Even down to the colour, 3D section that protrudes from the shoulder and the line detail. I've wanted to make something similar to this since the film and I love that this has made an appearence.
