The most coveted and exclusive night of fashion is back! After a two-year-long lull, this year the MET gala red carpet was held on May 2nd in the US, and the event was telecast live in India early in the morning on May 3rd. The Met Red Carpet is an exclusive affair where every year the world’s biggest celebrities gather to celebrate fashion in unique designer costumes as per the theme of the event.
MET Gala 2022 Theme
The theme for this year’s Met Gala was ‘In America: Fashion Anthology,’ and the dress code was ‘Gilded Glamor and White Tie’. The dress code reportedly refers to the dazzling era of American fashion in the last decades of the 19th century, when industrialization rapidly widened the wealth gap in the country. The evening was hosted by Hollywood couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, with Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda as co-hosts. They were joined by co-chairs Anna Wintour and Tom Ford among others. The Red Carpet saw celebrities in their glamorous avatars and bedazzling designer outfits.
Here are a few highlights from the Met Red Carpet that you just can’t miss:
