The 81-year old actress Diana Ross made a stunning return to Met Gala after 22 years, and flaunted an 18-foot feathered cape at the event.
One wrote- “Nah she ate and left no crumbs.” Another said, “DIANA ROSS I LOVE YOU I do not see the relation to the theme tho. BUT I LOVE YOU DIANA ROSS YAS.”
Stars gathered Monday for a historic Met Gala that celebrated Black style and emerging designers.
The gathering in rainy Manhattan was the first Met Gala to focus exclusively on Black designers and the first in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme.
The gathering of stars from the worlds of fashion, entertainment, sports and business raised a record $31 million for the Met’s Costume Institute.
Also, Rihanna shut down a rainy Met Gala on Monday in a pinstripe look and a huge hat, her newly announced baby bump on display after announcing her pregnancy with baby No. 3 earlier in the day.
Her Marc Jacobs look included tied sleeves of a men’s suit that served as a bustle behind her as she posed for the cameras, the last to walk the carpet as usual. Her hair hung long in a mermaid twist behind her.
Men’s suiting and tailoring was the evening’s theme. It came complete with a tuxedoed choir and lots of women rocking pinstripes and other men’s detailing. Emma Chamberlain, Zendaya, Teyana Taylor and many other women went with traditional men’s detailing.
