The annual Met Gala came around again on the first Monday of May. This year sharing the theme of ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style\u2019, the theme reflected black excellence through the many years of fashion design African Americans have largely contributed to. In celebration, all co-chairs this year were black men, this included Lewis Hamilton, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fashion’s most iconic night had no shortage of iconic fashion, intertwining and complimenting black fashion history in America. Sir Lewis Hamilton, a co-chair holder and a seven-time Formula 1 world champion dashed the Met with a complete ivory suit by Grace Wales Bonner, sharing stories of excellence through the jewel adornments, flower motifs, and pearl details. No detail was left undone with his cropped suit jacket and high waisted trousers that complimented the rich decorations that adorned his suit. This tailored look dominated the looks on Monday as numerous celebrities and designers spun the traditional suit into something more unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer-songwriter Janelle Mon\u00e1e is a perfect example of someone who went for a unique tailored look, sharing an optical illusion on a boxy coat designed with a suit of colours of red and black, a Thom Browne staple. Mon\u00e1e described it herself as a \u201cTime Machine.\u201d The accessories of a hat and a working monocle took the outfit to a whole other level, making it one of my favourites of the night. Unique accessories seemed to be a theme of the night with artist Andr\u00e9 3000 wearing a grand piano like a backpack across his back, a nod to his intended release of \u20187 Piano Sketches\u2019 on vinyl. Overall, my favourite look of the night was on K-pop star Jennie, who wore a suit with a soft feminine twist, adding a voluminous skirt in place of trousers and adorned with pearl detailing and a classic black hat. The look was completed with the iconic Chanel flower on the suit jacket. What I loved most about this look was how classic it was, the white and black, with simple yet compelling additions that made her garment stand out to me the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
