'America' translated in makeup, according to the 2021 Met Gala
Unless you’ve been on a social media hiatus, your feed was undoubtedly with Met everything today: face jewels, The Dementor (Kim K) memes, nearly-naked sheer ensembles, old Hollywood glam and more. It’s fashion’s biggest night out, and our phones are as close as we were getting to the action—slash going out at all—right now, so we were living for it.
