Met Gala 2022: Stars explore the grandeur associated with the ‘Gilded’ age

The Met Gala is back, and this year's event was bigger than ever before, from the guest list to the red carpet. After several pandemic-related setbacks, the fashion prom returned to its traditional date of the first Monday in May in 2022, with the evening's theme ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ with ‘Gilded Glamour’ as the dress code, and a slew of A-listers on hand to co-host; including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Regina King. In many ways, this year's theme will be a bonus addition to the 2021 Met Gala theme, as it will allow celebrities to explore the grandeur associated with the Gilded Age.

As usual, the red carpet was packed with long trains, massive jewels, and stars looking to make a statement. Because of the abundance of attention-grabbing looks, deviating from the norm was the only way to truly stand out. See our best-dressed picks from the evening, including Blake Lively's Lady Liberty-inspired Atelier Versace look, Kim Kardashian's Marilyn Monroe-inspired ensemble, Alicia Keys' Empire State-inspired Ralph Lauren gown, and more, below.
