Dan Levy went all out with his 2021 Met Gala look. Between the tulle sleeves, map detail, charmed shoes, and more, there is so much happening here in the best way possible. But beneath all the colorful goodness, Dan Levy’s Met Gala look is very meaningful. You’re going to want to see this fit from every angle possible and then, six more.

If you look closely, the top piece of Levy’s custom-made Loewe suit is decorated with a map-like image of two men kissing. This is a reference to a painting created by LGBTQ+ advocate David Wojnarowicz, who sadly died of AIDS in 1992.

To really show off the focal point of this ‘fit, the map pattern continues from the shirt to the dramatic, puffy sleeves, all the way down to his trousers.

In contrast to the pastel shades of the map, the bottom of his jacket and the top of his trousers feature a purple, blue, and black striped pattern. Naturally, it’s sequined more than a Studio 54 disco ball.

Puffy sleeves have been trendy for the past two years, but these go above and beyond. The Schitt’s Creek actor is defying gravity.

With flowers, gold studs, buckles, and more, Levy’s combat boots could be his whole look. Take a page out of Levy’s book and next time you wear an over-the-top look, make the shoes the focal point.

Levy served 1920s glamor with his slicked-back hair. The wet look is already big on the Met Steps, with Saweetie, Karli Kloss, and Nicola Peltz also rocking the look.

It wouldn’t be a 2021 Met Gala if Levy didn’t tie this look together with a face mask. The fabric is a little more understated but matches the rest of the look perfectly.
