The COVID-19 pandemic caused the 2020 festivities to be placed on hold, but nothing was going to stop the Met Gala from moving forward this year. Celebrities are pulling back-to-back events today (September 13) after many of them attended the MTV Video Music Awards yesterday. Music fans are still reeling from the show that showed Normani giving a lap dance of sorts to Teyana Taylor, Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow bringing their music video to the stage, Doja Cat flying high during her performance, and Chlöe making her debut as a solo artist with her blazing new single “Have Mercy.”
Now, those famous faces are strutting their best looks for the “Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion” at Metropolitan Museum of Art and to say that the looks have turned heads is an understatement.
