See all of the looks from the 2022 Met Gala red carpet here.īelow, everything you need to know about the 2022 Met Gala. The 2022 Met Gala theme, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, is built around the tenets of American style, and celebrates unsung heroes of US design. Even though only eight months have passed since Kim Kardashian climbed the Met steps in her Balenciaga mask, this year’s ceremony is sure to serve even more memorable looks. Last year, model Cara Delevingne divided fans after arriving at the event wearing a vest with the words ‘peg the patriarchy’ written across the front, which she said was about “women’s empowerment” and “gender equality”.Tonight, May 2nd, the Met Gala returns to the event’s traditional first Monday in May slot after two years of COVID chaos. The Met Gala has served some of fashion’s most iconic looks since it first began in 1948.
This year, the museum has also partnered with a group of top film directors, including Regina King, Sofia Coppola, Martin Scorsese and last year’s Oscar winner, Chloé Zhao, to create “cinematic vignettes” to accompany the exhibit. Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Lin-Manuel Miranda will serve as co-chairs of the 2022 Met Gala.ĭesigner Tom Ford, Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour will remain as honorary co-chairs. This year, the event will be held in the evening of 2 May. The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May. As for what we can expect of the fashion choices, the outlet acknowledges that the period saw fabric become “faster and cheaper to produce,” and, as a result, meant that “women’s dresses often featured a combination of many textiles, like satin, silk, velvet, and fringe, all adorned with over-the-top textures like lace, bows, frills, and ruffles”. While the theme for the gala is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” the official dress code is slightly different, as Vogue notes that attendees will be expected to adhere to a white-tie “gilded glamour” dress code.Īccording to Vogue, the dress code means that guests should look to Gilded Age New York for inspiration, a time period that spanned 1870 to 1890.
