Fashionably Lit
Who knew that this year’s theme at the Met Gala—Superfine: Tailoring Black Style—would spur a trio of fashionista celebrities to walk the red carpet sporting cigars? Flowing fabrics are famously the focus of the New York City charity event dubbed “fashion’s biggest night,” but this year the organizer’s suggestion that guests project dandyism had celebs arriving in pinstripes with canes and big hats. Of all the night’s props, The Fader, a magazine that arbitrates music, style and culture, declared that the rapper Doechii did it best by simply holding a cigar in hand. She was not alone. Madonna, already known for public displays of stogie appreciation, and the singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter, made the same stylish choice and captured attention with the least effort possible.
