Opera gloves are clearly having a major moment in fashion, and not just on Met Gala night. (Her custom Dior dress, which was inspired by Josephine Baker, went viral on Twitter.) While Peltz chose a pale pink pair to match her magenta-hued dress, Shahidi wore a neutral, bejeweled option, which also matched her strapless gown. Leading the pack was Instagram’s Director of Fashion Partnerships Eva Chen, who stunned the crowd with her checkered black and white gloves (they went past her elbows) that she paired with her Christopher John Rogers gown.įollowing in her footsteps were actors Nicola Peltz and Yara Shahidi, who both styled long finger gloves with their dresses. However, at the 2021 Met Gala, opera gloves were the most surprising - and unexpectedly glamorous - additions to celebrity ensembles. Sometimes, there is even a headpiece or two. Stars arrive in millions of dollars worth of jewelry, they’re usually in strappy heels (or the occasional sneaker), and they might match their handbags to their looks.

On the Met Gala red carpet, you generally know what to expect from celebrities when it comes to accessories.
