Met Gala 2021: Instagram to give the users exclusive access

The Met Gala 2021 is here. The event, which is known as one
of the most elite fashion events of New York City, can be attended only by the fashion
elite. Fans have only been able to get a glimpse of the red carpet at the Met
Gala through clips and images posted by media and those in attendance.  But that is the past. Now we live in the world
of remote attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Keeping that in mind, part of the annual fundraiser’s
facelift is to give viewers full access to the red carpet happenings.

Instagram is officially sponsoring the 2021 Met Gala and The
Costume Institute’s Exhibition, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Due to this
partnership, the users of the social media giant will be able to catch BTS
content, commentary, and exciting activations happening exclusively on
Instagram. This will allow the users to join in on the conversation around pop
culture and fashion’s most Instagrammable event.

Key Instagram accounts will be updated in real-time during
the event. The live coverage will include the 2021 Instagram x Met Gala Table
“Class Photos” series, revealing the next generation of designers, artists,
actors, and creators who will be at Instagram’s table. The account will also
highlight beauty content with their Glam Squads.

Instagram will partner the glam squads of several high-profile attendees.  They will also be
giving Instagram tutorials on how the users can recreate – and shop! – the Met
Gala looks of different celebrities.

Celebrities like Naomi Osaka, Amanda Gorman, Billie Eilish, and Timothee Chalamet will be adding glamour to the hosting party of the Met Gala 2021 after the event was called off last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are big names coming together for a historic event from different walks of life, bringing together sports, music, literature, and acting.
