Met Gala pays tribute to fashion and black designers, with surprise of Rihanna’s pregnancy | Entertainment

His Marc Jacobs look included sleeves tied from a man suit that served as flyers behind her while posing for the cameras, the last to walk along the carpet as usual. Her hair hung long in a siren lock behind her.

Male tailoring and tailoring was the theme of the night. It was completed with a tuxedo choir and many women wearing stripes and other male details. Emma Chamberlain, Zendaya, Teyana Taylor and many more women opted for the traditional details of men.

Chamberlain and Zuri Hall were among those who wore elegant and sexy dresses that play with the male striped costumes while the great steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art climb. Zendaya, Coanfitriona last year, wore a perfectly fitted white pants suit with a wide winged hat of Louis Vuitton.

Janelle Monáe personified the theme of the night, the black dandi, with exaggerated stripes of Thom Browne. Lauryn Hill honored male fashion with a yellow butter suit with exaggerated tailoring that shouted black power.

The masculine fashion atmosphere for women was frequent and expected, “women who wanted to maintain a traditionally female dress silhouette while respecting the issue,” said William Dingle, Blackmenswear.com style director, a cultural impact agency that focuses on raising black men.

Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz, leaned on the red stripes. She wore braids adorned with jewelry. He a handkerchief on the head.

Doja Cat, always intrepid when it comes to fashion, put a Marc Jacobs Body look with wild cat and black details and striped with wide shoulders. Taylor opted for an impressive trahe zoot look with a red cup hat adorned with feathers and a huge match full of flowers and brightness. He collaborated with the famous costume designer Ruth E. Carter.

Zoot costumes became popular in Harlem in the 1940s.

Madonna, who “is not alien to fashion that challenges gender,” Dingle said, appeared in a beige monochromatic tuxedo holding a cigar. It was Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann, the designer who assumed when Ford retired.

Kylie Jenner, in Ferragamo, imitated the male tailoring in a gray and black chorseed look, while her sister Kim Kardashian opted for a black leather dandi engraved, posing under a high black hat. His personalized look was from Chrome Hearts. It was low and open in the hip with wide straps on the back.

Sister Kendall Jenner was in an elegant skirt and jacket, the most discreet of the three. The designer was the British-Nigerian-Brazilian Torishéju Dumi.

Megan Thee Stallion in Michael Kors and Dua Lipa in Chanel Negro included. Megan’s look had a high opening on the side and floral lace ornaments. Lipa offered a flapper style high in feathers and a “s” hairstyle. And Miley Cyrus distilled femininity in a cut -old black crocodile jacket and a long black taffeta skirt from Alaïa.

Diana Ross, meanwhile, covered the carpet with a huge white flow, accompanied by her son, Evan Ross.

Lizzo debuted with blond hair to combine with her pink and black dress from Christian Siriano with a neckline pronounced on the front. He was so tight on the legs that he had difficulty walking.

Cardi B, who is always going big at Met Gala, dazzled in a cut suit with Burberry pants. He showed a new hairstyle and eye color, looking like green contact lenses to combine with its ivy color appearance.

As for men, the coanfrerion of $ Ap Rocky told The Associated Press that Anna Wintour suggested that he use a black designer.

“So I dressed myself,” said the musician on his personalized suit designed by his creative agency, Awge, complete with a black jacket and an umbrella adorned with diamonds. “Everything is designed by a server.”

Rocky, Rihanna’s partner and father of his two children, confirmed to the reporters that his number three is on his way. He talked about it after Rihanna was photographed walking in the rain with her bread in the air in a short blue and skirt top.

“He feels incredible, you know,” Rocky said. “It’s time to show people what we were cooking. And I’m glad everyone is happy for us, because we are definitely happy.”

He added: “Honestly, it is a blessing anyway. Because you know how some people in other situations can sometimes envy other people. But we have seen love mostly. And we are very receptive to that and we appreciate it, do you know what I mean? That is love. Love is love.”

What exactly was the suggested clothing code of the night, “made to your measure”, inspired by black dandism? And what exactly is the met gala? To raise funds for the MET Institute. The gala raised a record of 31 million dollars before starting.

Marie Claire, editor in Chief of Marie Claire, said some well -achieved trends.

“Main trends of the night: Black and White (Zoe Saldaña, Whoopi Goldberg, Gabrielle Union), stripes (Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats), costumes (Lupita Nyong’o, Ego Nwodim), hats (Lupita Nyong’o, Whoopi Goldberg and Teyana Taylor).”

Colman Domingo, one of the hosts of the night, wore a pleated layer adorned with gold on a gray and black suit, his jacket with a pearly window design with a huge black flower with points. His look, including his cape and a black scarf with points on his neck, evoked the deceased André Leon Talley, the fashion icon that made history as a rare black editor in Vogue.

Domingo, Valentino’s dress, arrived with Wintour de Vogue, dressed in a caste -blue coat on a bright white dress by Louis Vuitton, sponsor of the gala. Co -president Lewis Hamilton put on a cheerful ivory tuxedo with a short jacket, a matching beret and Cauri shell ornaments.

Hamilton’s look had a deep meaning.

“The ivory color denotes purity and status; the cauris pass from hand to hand, the royal band becomes shamanic,” he wrote on Instagram.

Claire Stern, Digital Director of Elle, added: “Known for defending black designers, the F1 star once again used its platform to celebrate inheritance and creativity in one of the biggest stages of fashion.”

Colman has personified contemporary dandism in a variety of looks over the years.

Pharrell Williams, another coanfrerion, was discreet in a double button night jacket with accounts and dark pants. He kept his dark glasses while posing for the cameras. Williams walked with his wife, Helen Losichanh, in a black body and matching jacket.

Williams, the creative director of Male Fashion of Louis Vuitton, said that his 15,000 pearls were arranged in a striped design and that the jacket took 400 hours to build.

Walton Goggins, a guest this year with others from “The White Lotus”, wore a deconstructed suit with seams outside and a pleated skirt that turned for the cameras.

LeBron James, the NBA superstar, was appointed honorary president of the night, but retired at the last minute due to a knee injury.

Monica L. Miller, whose book inspired the evening, wore a short layer adorned with jewelry on a dress adorned with Cauri shells by Grace Wales Bonner. It is a direct connection with a piece in the spring exhibition of the Metropolitan Art Museum that Miller cured as a guest.

What other women dominated the male fashion game? Coco Jones in a ivory tuxedo coat with a tail on matching pants, both covered with thick ornaments.

“Coco Jones absolutely leaned down,” Dingle said. “I love pearls and gems ornaments here, as well as the long coat, and even the necklace. Because it is higher, the long coat further lengthens its legs. This is a fantastic look.”

His look was from Indian designer Manish Malhotra. He said he wanted to honor black excellence going for all.

Sarah Snoak, famous for “Succession” and recently nominated for a Tony for “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, was also on the subject successfully.

“It is in a two buttons jacket, double button, turned into a fractic tail in satin fabric to shine, in addition to a crimson lining for a touch of color,” Dingle said. “I like multiple brooches in the wide flap.”

Gigi Hadid, on the other hand, was completely feminine. He evoked the spirit of Josephine Baker in a bright golden golden velvet dress from Miu Miu that hugged his hips, the hip adjustment being a great trend of the night for women.

Bad Bunny, always a fashion rebel, wore a personalized black suit of Prada. The best detail: his fabric hat, which seemed to be a reference to the turkey, a straw hat associated with the Puerto Rican jíbaro.

The Associated Press will broadcast the celebrity departures from the Mark Hotel and will broadcast the gala carpet delay from 6:30 in the afternoon New York (2100 GMT). Transmissions will be available on YouTube and Apnews.com.
