@samantha smoth Iman is African somali native this symbolises our culture in the most beautiful way! Love my people ✊🏿

[@ok-gx6qd]

@samantha smoth american lexicon? they supposed to dress up as books or what. the theme is american INDEPENDENCE. being free to be yourself

[@staticshockfan]

@samantha smoth what? Just because she’s African doesn’t mean she’s wearing African clothes. Although some African cultures have big headgears and feathered clothes somalis don’t. People who are very well known for their headgear are Native Americans. She literally is one of the only people who understood the assignment. This is also not known for any tribe so she’s not cultural appropriating them!

[@NurmaBP]

Most of them didn't even follow the theme. I just found out about the theme (I would never had a guessed if I just look at their dresses). I googled it, this year supposed to be about 'American Indepence. In America, a Lexicon of fashion' So yeah, this Met Gala 2021 red carpet moment just showing us about these celebrities knowledge and point of views about American indepence. Most are woke. Some are just showing there because of their sponsors, they basically don't have much liberty or don't even had idea to expressing their own ideas, just dictated by the big corporates and their agencies, some just glad to be there. Some just another narcissist who think the universe only centered at them. However, at least a few really showing their effort and genuinely respect the team they're working with, and I really appreciate them.

The lady in red in this video looked nice, sexy too, and although I can’t decide how I feel about Jlo in general, I thought she looked nice and sexy too. Kendall Jenner is BY FAR the prettiest of all the Kardashians!

many people in the comments are talking about how their dresses don't match the theme...they kinda do. for example, celebs like Kendall,Gemma,Billie have matched their outfits to iconic Hollywood dresses. Iman is the best, she has used the eagle theme as for America. Shawn Mendes has went by the Rock style of the 90s in America.. Jlo's cowboy type theme with hat and the colours and all! nd many more. those saying it looks like a movie premiere, American fashion has evolved and revolved around Hollywood as always so it's understandable that it looks like the oscars. No doubt some of them were off theme...but the theme was so hard to pull off, it was an appreciable and amazing work by the designers indeed!!
