The runway and red carpets are once again front and center New York City’s most fashionable show, aka the Met Gala, did not play when it came to style drama Monday (Sept. 13) night. The event, Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion, was a head nod to the diversity and sustainability of fashion designers in the U.S.

Scroll through for the most daring and darn right darling Black fashion moments from the likes of Rihanna, Gabrielle Union, Serena Williams, Ciara, event-chair Naomi Osaka, and more!
