Gender Bender meets The Met Ball

FLUID FASHION ON THE METS

The MET Gala is one of the most coveted fashion events of the year; and, over the past years, we saw multi-colored, flamboyant celebratory outfits from both men and women at the prestigious pink carpet. 

Celebrities have opted for gender-neutral clothing time and again since the past to make a statement on the carpet. Some of the recent looks that were spotted -

2019- 

While Harry Styles shined in his pearl-drop earring and sheer lace blouse from Gucci, Jared Leto walked in crimson Gucci ensemble carrying his own “faux decapitated head” and Billy Porter made a grand Egyptian entry dipped in the top to toe gold bodysuit and wings. Actor Darren Criss wore blue nail paint and heavy makeup with his beaded Balmain jacket, Moschino designer Jeremy Scott wrapped in crystal body chain jewelry showcased his punk side and the most eye-catchy outfit worn by Michael Urie displayed half-male and half-female mashup with a metallic pinstripe suit and pink tulle gown. The men at MET clearly pushed the boundaries and experimented with trends that were only reserved for women up until now. 

 

Wearing skirts is no longer a strange thing for Hollywood male stars in recent years. Many stars of the LGBTQ+ community show off their non-gender side with feminine fashion on the Met Gala 2021 red carpet.

The success of these looks on men makes us wonder if this could lead to more gender-neutral trends in India as well.
