Whoopi Goldberg was red carpet perfect in purple at the 2021 Met Gala event. She wore a custom Valentino cape, dress and gloves, created especially for her by Pierpaolo Piccioli.
The actress did, however, admit that managing a gown of this nature is no easy feat. "When you have 50 people helping, it's brilliant. If I had to do it by myself, it would be rough," she said referring to her attire.

The getting ready process was me laughing a lot, going 'really?'"
Normani, Dixie Damelio and Carey Mulligan were among other stars also dressed by Valentino for the event.

Whoopi recently revealed her new cannabis brand.
The brand, Emma & Clyde, was described as an elevated and socially conscious product line featuring a range of edibles, pre-rolls, flower and accessories for medical and recreational consumers.
This comes after the star ended her partnership with Maya Elisabeth on their Whoopi & Maya cannabis line in 2020 after four years.
