Doechii Shocks in a Box and Puffs a Cigar at Her Met Gala Debut

BBG News

Doechii made her iconic Met Gala debut on Monday as she arrived in a large white box. 

Onlookers and shutterbugs found themselves in a conundrum, trying to figure out the identity of the secret visitor as a container was rolled from The Mark Hotel onto the crimson carpet, while numerous individuals shielded it with umbrellas.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I found myself in the presence of an American rapper, just 26 years old, who made a statement with his fashion choice – a daring ensemble by Louis Vuitton. He nonchalantly puffed on a cigar and struck poses for photographs, exuding confidence and style.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I proudly donned a stylish white Louis Vuitton monogrammed jacket paired with chic checkered Bermuda shorts, showcasing my impeccable fashion sense.

She teamed the look with burgundy loafers, knee-high socks and a silk scarf tied in a bow.

Her appearance was enhanced by jewelry from Tiffany & Co., and she sported a Louis Vuitton logo on her cheek as the final touch.

Every year, I have the privilege of attending the grand spectacle that is often referred to as the Eastern equivalent of the Oscars – the illustrious Met Gala. This esteemed event brings together some of the most prominent figures in the world, who gather at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art for an unforgettable charity extravaganza.

On the occasion, Teyana Taylor, La La Anthony, and Ego Nwodim took charge as hosts for the Vogue live broadcast. Meanwhile, Emma Chamberlain was assigned to conduct interviews at the blue carpet.

20-plus years have passed since the last time the Met Gala featured a menswear theme, and this year, that theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

At this event, a collective of acclaimed Black male entertainers are taking on hosting duties, among them being Williams – a renowned musician and fashion designer at Louis Vuitton men’s line, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky, who have been appointed as the event’s co-chairs.

Previously, it was announced that LeBron James, appointed as an honorary chair, would not be able to attend the gala because of a knee injury he sustained in the Lakers’ season finale against the Timberwolves during Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Wednesday.

In her husband’s stead as the honorary chair for this year’s event, the NBA’s record-breaking top scorer mentioned that his wife, Savannah James, would be there instead.

Due to a knee injury I suffered at the end of the season, I regretfully won’t make it to the Met Gala in NY tonight. Many have asked and congratulated me about my plans for the event, but I won’t be there. James, 40, shared this on X, mere hours before the red carpet.

Additionally present is Anna Wintour from Vogue, who orchestrated the event, famously known as the most glamorous and high-profile gathering of the year.

While the co-chairs were already announced, the leaked list has only fueled the hype.

An impressive array of celebrities, such as Rihanna, Sydney Sweeney, Hailey Baldwin, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cynthia Erivo, make up the star-studded roster for this event.

Besides yourself, Bad Bunny, Donatella Versace, Vera Wang, Usher, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Allen White, and Suki Waterhouse have been invited as well.

As an overjoyed admirer, I can hardly contain my excitement! Tonight promises to be a star-studded extravaganza, filled with the crème de la crème of Tinseltown. Yet, it left some fellow enthusiasts baffled by the absence of a few beloved figures.

The gala raises the bulk of the curation budget for the museum´s Costume Institute.

2021’s focus is on the adaptation and refinement of formal wear, explored via the historical context and significance of Black dandy culture that spans the African diaspora.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve drawn inspiration from this year’s vibrant spring exhibition, which revolves significantly around the thought-provoking book “Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity” by Monica L. Miller. In this unique exhibit, I proudly serve as a guest curator, inviting you to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of black cultural identity through the lens of fashion.

In the catalog, Miller notes that historical expressions of dandyism encompass a meticulous attention to detail in clothing and attire, as well as extravagant and striking styles.

Regardless if a dandy’s style is understated or flamboyant, we acknowledge and appreciate the intentionality behind their attire, the deliberate showcase of themselves, the pursuit of impeccable fit, and occasionally, the rebellious self-expression hidden within.

As an ardent admirer, I must say, deciphering Anna Wintour’s take on taste and style at galas is like unraveling a mystery. With her influence nearly omnipresent, it’s safe to assume that whatever happens, it won’t veer too far from the track.

Lately, she clarified that she doesn’t endorse every appearance people have, stating during her interview with Good Morning America that she will only express an opinion when specifically requested to do so.

A few days prior to the charity event, Sarah Jessica Parker unexpectedly informed everyone that she wouldn’t be able to attend because of an unavoidable schedule issue, leaving her fans in disbelief.

The actress from Sex and The City shared with Entertainment Tonight that she has work commitments, but is excited about all the sights to come. She’s eager to see everyone’s unique takes on the project theme and the creative output from their assigned tasks. It sounds like a delightful task.

As they discussed the glamorous event known as the Golden Globes, the award recipient expressed: ‘It holds great significance for me, and I aim to pay tribute to the efforts of the curators and everyone who has influenced this special occasion for those lucky enough to be here.’

Brooklyn Beckham and his spouse, Nicola Peltz, have chosen not to attend this year’s high-profile, annual charity event hosted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, joining other celebrities who have made similar decisions.

On Monday, it was disclosed to The Sun that Brooklyn had intended to celebrate his father David Beckham’s 50th birthday party rather than attend the Met Gala.

Despite being invited, the couple failed to appear at David’s party in London on Saturday, and the explanation for their absence was unveiled later through Mail+.
