Met Gala 2022: When and Where to Watch, Who to Expect This Year, Theme and Other Details

The Met Gala is keeping its usual date this year, the first Monday of May, after holding a delayed event in September 2021 due to the pandemic. Fashion’s biggest night out is back with a bang, after two years of Covid chaos. Met Gala 2022, the fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, United States, is a star-studded affair as it welcomes stars, young creatives, and industry paragons. Global celebrities will be walking the red carpet and climb the steps of the Metropolitan Museum making fashion statements through their couture.

Celebrities present their interpretation of the exhibition’s annual theme to the entire world. Unlike an award show or a premiere, the goal isn’t to shine for a moment, it’s to create a look that resonates for decades.

Theme:

The Met Gala theme this year is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” The evening will celebrate the Met museum’s new exhibition of the same name, which will be presented across 13 of the American period rooms at The Met. The exhibition opens on May 7 and will remain on display through September 5, 2022. This year’s theme is part two of the museum’s celebration of American style. The first part titled “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” opened in September 2021 and will also remain on display in The Met until September 5, reported Vogue. The Met Gala red carpet dress code this year is all about gilded glamour.

The official co-chairs for the Met Gala this year are Hollywood couple Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, actress Regina King, and actor and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Honorary chairs for the evening will be Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Vogue’s editor Anna Wintour.
