The theme for Met Gala 2022 was “Gilded Glamour”, which is a homage to the rapid growth and industrialization of the US from the 1870s to the 1890s. In particular, this year’s Met Gala celebrated themes of luxury and excess. Within the context of 2022, the annual event was unsurprisingly met??? with mixed reviews.
Many social media users agree that this year’s Met Gala is too “out of touch”, with all sorts of events happening around the globe such as growing economic inequality in the States, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and severe inflation worldwide.
In addition, it became clear that not many celebrities fully understood the meaning behind this year’s theme, and as we have seen, some of them walked the red carpet in dresses and suits that did not entirely fit the theme, and the designers were to take the blame.
However, it would be a mistake to exclude these 25 celebrities dressed in some of the finest work that makes the Met Gala 2022 red carpet the best part of fashion’s biggest night. See our pick for the best-dressed stars of the 2022 Met Gala below.
