The Prabal Gurung ladies might be my favorite grouping of the 2021 Met Gala. Gurung is Nepalese, based in New York, with an American aesthetic. I love that he dressed so many women for the Met Gala, and I loved the variety of women and the variety of looks. Gemma Chan got one of the best looks, an East-meets-West minidress with a long, vibrant train. My biggest issue here (obvs) is that Gemma did clip-in bangs! So unnecessary, in general. Although with her perfect face, it’s hard to f–k it up.
My real favorite look from Gurung was Venus Williams’ whole look. Serena is the sister who gets more attention at the Met Gala, but Venus SERVED! I love the red, I love the train and I love her hair. She looked like she was having a great time too. She even posed for photos with Serena… and Maria Sharapova. Hatchet buried??

It never fails to amuse me that Hugh Dancy agrees to come to these events with his wife Claire Danes. I like her lil’ dress too, she looks cute and happy. I bet it was comfortable.
Diane Kruger in Gurung… did she get the worst look from Gurung?? Possibly. Although I bet she chose this, she loves the minidress-and-train combo, and to be fair, she kind of looks okay in this shade of neon bile.
Teyana Taylor in Gurung. Her body is FIRE. The look is… basically to show off her crazy body.

I love Claire Danes’s haircut! And I dig Kruger’s dress, I am surprised by this.
Wow Teyana is so beautiful
I gasped when I saw Venus, she was exquisite! Those big bust ruffles tend to look…casual (verging on dowdy) but her gown was so beautifully cut and she’s so statuesque…total goddess. With great earrings.
One of the best looks of the night. Just perfect.
I’m not sure how many of these fit into the theme, lol, but for the most part these are really good. Gemma Chan looks amazing, as per usual, clip-in bangs or no. Claire Danes is a little boring for the Met Gala but she looks lovely. Even diana kruger kind of makes that neon dress work.
Diane’s dress looked great going up the stairs, and the shoes saved the look in my mind. Neon is a solid Americana choice and she managed to pull off the odd dress.
Gemma’s hair and make-up were fantastic. I didn’t love the train.
Gemma Chan’s look was a tribute to Anna May Wong, the first Asian American Hollywood actress, and she partnered with Gurung (a designer from Nepal) to create the look. So very much on theme and a nod to the influence of Asian Americans in fashion.
I didn’t know that – thanks for the info!
That’s awesome
Gemma Chan is gorgeous whatever but the fit of her dress is off. She looks like she knows it too. Claire Danes looks beautiful… which is surely not the point of this event. Venus def got the best of these. Not that impressed with the designer overall though
Yes, she looked like she was afraid it would slide off any minute in a couple of pics. But then, she accessorized with Dominic Cooper, who looked like straight out of Miami Vice and I feel a bit ashamed by how much I loved it.
I love how you always see Claire holding on to her man (don’t blame her) Venus looked divine & I loved that she was the star of the Williams girls last night. I adore Serena, & her husband more, but I thought Serena looked ridiculous, her outfit that is, It was all too much.
Gemma could wear a trash bag and still look beautiful. Venus and Claire also look really good.
Teyana Taylor’s body 👀👀👀 😵😵💫…. Wow
Teyana Taylor had a breast REDUCTION, too. I wish she’d make a workout/diet app we could all follow because she looks amazing!
Sorry but Claire looks terrible. That dress is doing her no favors. What is even happening with the bodice?!
It doesn’t seem to fit properly at the top, right? With the darts where they are, it looks like her dressed slipped down a bit.
I love Venus’s earrings! They have lots of small details and the shades of green look great with the red!
Worth noting that Gemma Chan’s look is an homage to Anna May Wong, the first Chinese American movie star. Gemma always understands the theme!!
Venus looks amazing! I feel like her dress is what Karlie Kloss’s dress wanted to look like
Gemma’s dress is an homage to legendary Chinese-American film icon Anna May Wong. I loved it!
Venus looks stunning and so does Gemma. I also love Claire’s look simple yet glam too!
