The Red Carpet And After Party Looks We Loved At The Met Gala 2021
Fashion’s biggest night out rolled out the red carpet last September 13 for the Met Gala 2021, which is a fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Fashion’s most stylish celebrities and personalities sashayed in their Met best to celebrate and showcase their own interpretation of this year’s theme: American Fashion wearing some of the industry’s renowned designers and luxury houses. Here are some of the notable guests and looks we loved:
WEARING TOMMY HILFIGER
Tommy Hilfiger wore a custom TOMMY HILFIGER x Denis Frison single-breasted tuxedo blazer made from upcycled vintage denim with red and blue striped silk patchwork lining and grosgrain lapels, cuffs, pocket flaps, upcycled vintage denim high waisted pants with a grosgrain waistband and side stripe, along with a white evening shirt and black bow tie.
Dee Hilfiger wore a high neck, long-sleeved, all-over red sequin embroidered gown from her private wardrobe, customized by TOMMY HILFIGER with hand-stitched contrast stripes and bugle bead embroidery.

LOEWE x Dan Levy Met Gala 2021 Custom Look
Actor Dan Levy wears a LOEWE bespoke printed leg of mutton sleeves cotton piqué polo with detailed embroidery and hand beading, printed twill de laine trousers with hand-beading, paired with a white leather T Pouch and JW Anderson AW2010 boots
The bespoke look contains the work of LGBTQ activist, the artist David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992). Imagined as what a “gay superhero” might wear, the outfit takes inspiration from two of the artist’s seminal works – Fuck You Faggot Fucker, 1984, and Untitled (One Day This Kid), 1990/91.
The LOEWE bespoke polo and trousers depicts two men kissing, from an artwork whose title came from a crude homophobic cartoon the artist had come across (Fuck You Faggot Fucker, 1984). Rather than feed on the message of hate, the work celebrates same-sex love. Photos of Wojnarowicz and his friends surround the couple, amid a background of world maps, indicating arbitrary borders and divisions the queer community faced.
The LOEWE T-Pouch clutch illustrates a portrait of the artist as a sweet, innocent child (Untitled (One Day This Kid...), 1990-91). Surrounding texts predict his future as homosexual, deemed an outcast by society. The work asserts visibility for queer people—exposing the hatred and bias experienced daily, while celebrating love and joy.
To honor the collaboration, LOEWE has made a donation to Visual AIDS, an organization Wojnarowicz supported, that continues to promote AIDS awareness and education.
