Met Gala 2022: The Met Gala is set to return to its traditional first Monday in May slot, and fashionistas around the world are ecstatic. The Met Gala 2022 will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 2 (May 3 IST). As we get ready for fashion’s biggest night, here’s a look back at some of the most memorable Met Gala red carpet looks over the years.
Who can forget Kim Kardashian’s head-to-toe black Balenciaga haute couture gown from last year’s In America: A Lexicon of Fashion theme, complete with matching full-head mask and train? Certainly not. From the wet-look raindrop gown that drew Thierry Mugler out of retirement to the gold gilded chainmail frock by Donatella Versace, the star has made incredible fashion appearances at the Met. Her Demna Gvasalia look, on the other hand, will go down in history as iconic.
Rihanna is the queen of fashion. Her pregnancy appearance in the last few months is proof of that. We didn’t expect anything less from her when she co-hosted the Met Gala ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’ in 2015. Guo Pei, a Chinese designer, created the star’s unforgettable, show-stopping, and luxurious sherbet yellow robe, which she paired with auburn hair and a diamante headdress.
Lady Gaga is the Queen of Camp, which is why she did not disappoint us at the 2019 Met Gala, which had the theme of ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion.’ The singer wore four different outfits on the red carpet. She wore a 25-foot train in a dramatic fuchsia pink cape gown designed by Brandon Maxwell. She then changed into a corseted black dress, which she paired with a crystal bra, underwear, and pantyhose. She finally put on a hot pink column gown.
