Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka, and Amanda Gorman Will Co-chair the Ultimate Tribute to American Style at the Met Gala!
The Met Gala has announced its co-chairs for the 2021 Met Gala! This comes after the news that the Gala will indeed be returning after not taking place last year due to the pandemic. Gen Z superstars Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka, and Amanda Gorman will serve as cochairs, while Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour comprise the evening’s honorary chairs.
Each of the Met Gala’s cohosts has made their mark on fashion in their own right. Known for many of his films such as Call Me by Your Name, Lady Bird and Little Women, Chalamet has become very influential in fashion. His unexpected mix of streetwear, lack of a stylist, and embrace of avant-garde labels sets him apart from the rest of the fashion scene.
Eilish’s willingness to embrace an aesthetic as creative and original as her music has pushed emerging brands into the limelight and challenged old norms about how a young pop star should dress.
Naomi is a tennis champ who is known for her colorful fashion pieces on and off the court. She has become one of the best dressed athletes around, and has a great sense of style.
Amanda Gorman caught everyones eyes as the inaugural poet at the 2021 presidential inauguration. Gorman is the latest to become a household name of the group, but in her short time in the spotlight, she’s cultivated a look powerful enough to match her words.
Vogue said in an announcement “Each of the Met’s four cohosts embodies the defining factor of American style: individualism. They may approach the concept differently, but their shared passion for expressing themselves through clothing connects with the exhibition’s theme. Chalamet, Eilish, Osaka, and Gorman have all developed a distinct visual language for their public personae, one that is informed by the legacy of iconic fashion made in the USA.”
