Lil Nas X makes dramatic entrance at 2021 Met Gala in 3-part Versace ensemble
Lil Nas X just made a dramatic three-part entrance at the 2021 Met Gala.
The "Industry Baby" rapper showed up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in a custom-designed Donatella Versace outfit that evolved into different looks as he went up the red carpet.
Lil Nas X initially posed for the cameras in a valiant cloak, which he later took off to reveal a golden armor-style look underneath.
He ended the look with a stunning gold bodysuit.
According to Versace, the ensemble was designed to tell "a three-part LGBTQ+ American fairytale."
He initially posed for the cameras in a cape which “exudes regality and represents concealing one's true self.” The cape was then shed to reveal Medusa-adorned which symbolizes "protection from the prejudices faced as a Black, queer person."
“Finally, the armor is removed to reveal a skin-tight bodysuit that represents living life as your true, unguarded self," Versace said.
This year’s Met Gala is themed “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
Other celebrities who’ve arrived for what is dubbed as “fashion’s biggest night” are Billie Eillish, Olivia Rodrigo, Kendall Jenner, Blackpink’s Rosé, Timothee Chalamet, Justin and Hailey Bieber and more. —JCB, GMA News
