The singer was on the red carpet of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 6, at the gala organized by the museum.
This was the first night for the singer. On Sunday night, Aya Nakamura walked the steps of the Met Gala on her first trip to the US, becoming the first Franco-Malian woman to attend the event. Arriving on the red carpet of the most fashionable night of the year, Aya Nakamura said she was honored and proud to be invited. On that occasion, the singer chose the dress of the French luxury house.

Aya Nakamura wore a creation by Balmain artistic director Olivier Rousteing, who was also present at the Met Gala. With its embroidered and softly colored flowers, the piece is a perfect echo of the theme of the evening; Garden of Times (or Jardin du Temps, French)based on a short story by JG Ballard, published in 1962. With her peroxide bun and bleached brows, Aya Nakamura cemented her glamorous status, which had been established for some time.
Fashion week and red carpets
The condescending comments of those who bemoan the fact that his name is being floated for a possible appearance at the Paris Olympics are irrelevant. The singer is enjoying growing success and seduction beyond borders, even in the fashion world. Schiaparelli, Louis Vuitton, Balmain, Alexander McQueen, Kenzo, Jacquemus, Balenciaga, Aya Nakamura are regulars in the front rows of Paris fashion shows. Fashion status confirmed by the November 2021 cover of Vogue France.
Its association with the magazine may partly explain its presence at the Met Gala, as its director, Anna Wintour, is the evening’s co-chair. There were only three French women on Sunday evening. The singer was joined by Lena Mahfouf (for whom it was the second time) on the red carpet dressed in Schiaparelli, as well as Isabelle Hooper, sober and mysterious in Balenciaga. Therefore, a lucky bet for Aya Nakamura.
