34 Daring Looks Celebrities Have Unveiled In 2021

Lockdowns the world over have seen many of us glued to the sofa in our old and scruffy sweatpants. But celebrities? They’ve still pulled out all the stops to dazzle us with their daring style. From awards to premieres, to — of course — the Met Gala, let’s take a peek at 34 of the boldest and bravest looks from showbiz this year.

34. Serena Williams, Met Gala

Tennis legend Serena Williams swept into the Met Gala in a mesmerising cape of pink feathers. The ombré shawl travelled right down to the ground, enveloping Williams in a flow of pink shade. And underneath? A silver-laced bodysuit designed by Gucci and decorated with pink glittery stars, of course! “[Williams] served a royal look tonight,” her husband, and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian posted proudly on Instagram. Certainly it was an outfit befitting the 23-times-Grand-Slam-winning “Queen of Tennis”! 

33. Kate Middleton, No Time to Die premiere

Wow! In an outfit fit for a duchess, Kate Middleton quite literally dazzled crowds at the London premiere of No Time to Die. For the glamorous event, the royal slipped into a golden gown dreamed up by one of her favourite designers — Jenny Packham — complete with a floor-length cape. The ensemble was completed by sequins and beads, and golden O’nitaa earrings just made the overall look even more shimmery. People magazine reported that Daniel Craig told Kate, “You look jolly lovely.” She’s a real-life golden Bond girl! 

32. Kim Kardashian, Met Gala

Kim Kardashian arrived at the Met Gala in a look that immediately became a meme and we can see why! Head-to-toe in black, Kim’s floor-length ponytail was the only part of her that was exposed. The black-out look, designed by Balenciaga, was made up of a bodysuit underneath a T-shirt dress, matched with a balaclava and gloves. But in true Kim K style, the star was complete with a face full of makeup hidden beneath, as revealed on Instagram by her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. Confused? Well, “American Independence” was the theme of the event, and, as Kim herself remarked, “What’s more American than a T-shirt head to toe?”

31. Lil Nas X, Met Gala

Three bold looks over the course of the year is pretty impressive. But three in one night? Lil Nas X is certainly dedicated to the cause! For his first Met Gala, the Old Town Road singer arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a golden cape – and flowing train – fit for new music royalty. Next, he revealed a golden suit of armour that was shiny enough to see your reflection in. Nas finished the look in a sparkling – you’ve guessed it – golden Versace bodysuit!
