Simu Liu explains his 2021 Met Gala look

Simu Liu made his Met Gala debut recently and took to his Instagram handle to share photos from the event and explain his look. Simu Liu put forth a strong view and wrote, "The Golden Age of Hollywood did not celebrate people who looked like me. We were excluded from the glamorous aesthetic of the times and considered unworthy of the spotlight that celebrated slicked-back elegance and class." He added, "That’s why I chose this look with my stylist @jeanneyangstyle and @fendi for the 2021 #MetGala - to reinsert ourselves into the narrative and to defy the boxes that society puts us in."

"The theme of this year’s Met was ‘in America’. That’s why it was important for me to go and take up space. Asian people make up a crucial part of America and its history. And now, as always, we deserve to shine under the brightest of lights." He concluded.
