Also included are “Ocean Eyes” singer Billie Eilish, and actor Timothée Chalamet, along with honorary chairs Tom Ford and Anna Wintour.

The a listers will be out and shining in NYC at tonight’s Met Gala, which is often referred to as the fashion world’s Oscars night. The annual event is returning for the first time since 2019, having been cancelled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

While this years theme is “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” and according to reports the must-have accessories will include proof of vaccination and masks while indoors.

Vogue described the host as having already “made their mark in fashion” by breaking down barriers and embracing their individual styles.

The outlet notes that Osaka’s “striking, colorful pieces” worn both on and off the tennis court as the cause of her becoming a “designer muse and one of the best-dressed athletes around.”

While Gorman, the first poet to be featured on the cover of Vogue has quickly become a household name, and in her short time has “cultivated a look powerful enough to match her words.”
