Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes will be auctioning the accessories she used in the Met Gala 2021 for the BIPOC families in Ukraine.
Grimes stated on her Instagram account that she plans to auction her Met Gala accessories, including her signature metallic face mask and earrings. The singer said that the purpose of the auction is to raise funds to assist BIPOC families out of Ukraine as Russia continues its attack on the country.
“Hey, guys – I’m auctioning stuff from my Met gala look last year to raise money to help get BIPOC families out of Ukraine since they’re having trouble exiting at the border,” Grimes wrote on her Instagram post.
She added that many other excellent pieces would be auctioned for the same cause.
In her Instagram post, the singer also disclosed the details on when and where the auction would take place.
Grimes became a head-turner at Met Gala 2021 as she walked on the red carpet with her Dune-inspired look. With her customed Bene Gesserit gown designed by Iris van Herpen, paired with a CHRISHABANA x Dune Harkonnen Face Mask and silver elf ear cuffs while effortlessly carrying an AR-15 sword cast, it’s no wonder that her look became so iconic.
