Grimes, 2021
Grimes turned the 2021 Met Gala into her sci-fi fantasy. She arrived in a futuristic Iris van Herpen gown made from liquid-like silk and silicone. Her accessories, including a metallic face mask, matching elf ears, and a ponytail that looked straight out of Dune, completed the look. And let’s not forget the sword—a medieval-style weapon made from a melted-down AR-15 rifle borrowed from the Met’s collection.
Known for her experimental music and love of futuristic art, she’s made waves with albums like “Art Angels” and “Miss Anthropocene.” In 2022, she auctioned off that mask and those elf ears to raise money for BIPOC families in Ukraine.
