The Met Gala is on tonight and several celebrities are set to make their way on the red carpet in their themed costumes.
With only 8 months since the last event, this year’s theme is In America: An Anthology of Fashion, ‘built around the tenets of American style, and celebrates unsung heroes of US design.’ Per Vogue Magazine.
The ceremony traditionally happens on the first Monday in May and in case you are curious here’s some Met 2022 Info:
It celebrates the second volume in a two-part Costume Institute exhibition. The first, In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, opened on 18 September, and was preceded by the 2021 Met Gala on 13 September.
What is the Met Gala 2022 theme?
The Met Gala 2022 theme, explained
This second exhibition, presented across 13 of the American period rooms at the Met, “provides a historical context for Lexicon, in a way”, curator Bolton told Vogue. “The stories really reflect the evolution of American style, but they also explore the work of individual tailors, dress-makers, and designers,” he says. “What’s exciting for me is that some of the names will be very familiar to students of fashion, like Charles James, Halston and Oscar de la Renta, but a lot of the other names really have been forgotten, overlooked or relegated into the footnotes of fashion history.
So one of the main intentions of the exhibition is to spotlight the talents and contributions of these individuals, and many of them are women.”
