How to watch the Met Gala 2021 live – and what is the theme of the event?

The biggest annual event in the fashion calendar — The Met Gala — has come around again.

Fashion's most exciting fundraiser night is set to take place on September 13 from New York's famous Metropolitan Museum, and will see a whole host of world famous celebs take to the red carpet in extravagant outfits.

The exclusive event, started by Vogue's Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, has opened its doors to the public this year via a virtual livestream hosted by Vogue.

Meaning fans can watch the most stylish models, musicians and actors strut their stuff on the red carpet from the comfort of their own home.

When is the Met Gala?

The red carpet lifestream will start at 5.30pm EST (10.30pm BST) on Monday September 13 and will be hosted by two special guests – actor and recording artist Keke Palmer, and actor, writer, and director Ilana Glazer.

The hosts will give viewers exclusive access to the glam red carpet, interviewing some of the most high profile celebrities.

How can I watch the Met Gala?

To watch the official livestream visit twitter.com/voguemagazine on the night.

This year’s notable celebrity invites include superstars Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka, and Amanda Gorman—so expect to see them make a cameo on the carpet and livestream, too.

The likes of Tom Ford and Anna Wintour will also serve as the honorary chairs.

Famous for creative high fashion and ridiculous fits, the Met Gala changes its theme every year.

This time around, the dress code is 'American Independence' — so expect many garish red white and blue numbers, alongside some more creative outfit interpretations.
