Theme: In America: An Anthology of Fashion (Gilded Age)

Fashion’s biggest night returned last Monday as our favourite celebrities stunned in custom designer looks on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2022 Met Gala.

This year’s event marks the second instalment of the American-themed exhibition, called ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion.’ Part one, ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,’ took place in September 2021 after the Met Gala took a hiatus in 2020 amid the pandemic.

Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds served as cochairs for the event as well as Oscar-winner Regina King and actor, composer and director Lin-Manuel Miranda. Designer Tom Ford, Instagram head, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief, served as honorary co-chairs for the event—all of whom were briefed on the “gilded glamour” dress code.

Here are some of our best looks of the night.
